The Salsus people began life in the deserts of Exoplanet 74657. They, like all other life, used available resources to build homes. For them it was salt. They mastered the art of manufacturing perfect rectangular blocks. Eventually, one king built the customary-next-step-in-cultural-evolution pyramid. But now, centuries later, the climate has shifted. It rains one day every ten years on the desert, which is slowly, ever so slowly, dissolving the pyramid (but creating beautiful crystals on the outer surface). Now that politics in the region has stabilized, the decades old plans to build a protective roof over the pyramid (and the controversial ‘Shopping Destination and Leisure Complex’) are being dusted off. #scifi #exoplanet #MicroFiction #nature #photography #frost #ice

Once a year, maybe, weather conditions are just right to produce hoar frost and rime. When the sun comes out, the world turns magical for a few brief hours. #winter #frost #yyc #outdoorphotography #PhotoMonday #ice
