The first one reminds me a lot about Factorio's artstyle.
Keeping with the classic car stylings, caught this one myself and gave it some arty treatment to get rid of the downright offensive VW Polo behind it.

Oh man I really love autochrome photos!
I went to morocco recently. First a note, in most of the towns you go to you will be approached by people, they'll start by talking to you but they will generally expect something in return. It's normal practice there and they can be sorta annoying but they show you round and having one generally shields you from various other touts (other guides/people trying to sell you things/generally hassle you). Guides also seem to serve as waiters in restaurants, though they will try to steer your business toward places/people they know. If you go to morocco expect this, accepting it for what it is and rolling with it/making the most of it by talking to them will make your time more enjoyable.
Moulay Brahim - holy town, very old fashioned with lots of berber culture "magic" shops. Guide here was a normal guide, expected 20 dirum (£1.75)

If you've got more to share about your trip I'd love to read it! Morocco seems to be a really cool place to go.
Also visited Asni - here our guides pretended to just be friendly locals (they were friendly locals) invited us into their house for Moroccan tea before offering to sell us things - Braclets, geodes, fossils etc. The guides here also showed us round the town (directing my dad to a youth hostel he stayed in 47 years ago), pointed out stork nests atop a radio tower, round the market and served as waiters at a roadside tagine place (Asni is mostly for locals not very touristy). Tagines are generally 30-40dr for tourists and in that region generally beef + veg + saffron + cumin, mildly spicey and come with bread for juices. (sadly no pics of Asni)
We stayed in the valley of Ouirgane, very quiet, not very touristy but in a good location for walking, about 2 hour drive from Marrakech. Because its so quiet the people are friendly and most of the shops are cheaper. In spring it is very green.
We walked out of our hotel up towards a ridge of rocks in the distance.

We ended up climbing a fence into a national park full of mouflon. View from approx half way up

Eventually we reached the almost the top, the ridge was bigger than expected, more like a 60ft cliff face, and another fence blocked our path (no tree to climb over this time)

We were running out of water, it had been approx 4 hours, we were tired and it looked like we weren't going to reach the top so we turned back. On the way back stopped off to look over a cliff and I saw this lil fella.

Overall 6 hour walk, most of it off of track and a good deal of it spent going up and down fairly steep slopes.
Interesting rocks/terrain. Lots of red dirt but also many many minerals/crystals. The mountain has lots of layers so as you walk it goes from red to yellow to grey to green to red. In the soft/weathered rock are many veins which get eroded so further down the mountain there are fields of minerals.
I'll try upload more pictures to imgur or something, having trouble with this new facepunch thread editor. Hope you enjoyed.
A found this wild coconut cake (it's a quartz i think with lil red crystal shards on top)

Legitimate question here. I always visit this thread and kind of afraid to post because I can't really figure out what the category "auxiliary" pics falls under. Is it just genuinely cool/strange photos?
Literally whatever you think is interesting.

Moroccos is a pretty special place! I loved my trip there.
Have a few photos of my own:

I've absolutely had nightmares like this, and it makes me uncomfortable to see it realized visually.
I'm a big fan of the art of Zdzislaw Beksinski (gesundheit). It's unsettling but extremely interesting. Unfortunately he tends to be overshadowed by Giger.

Reminds me of Wayne Barlowe's Inferno. I remember finding a book of his art in middle school and being fascinated by all the details and unspoken lore communicated behind each painting.

His Expedition series (of which this is just a sample) is amazing too.
Barlowe is vastly vastly undercredited.
It's particularly annoying when people like Patrick Tatopoulos keep finding work by basically ripping him off 100%.
Someone made a "Documentary" about it quite a while ago

cyclocosmia spiders, or trapdoor spiders. their abdomen looks it's abruptly cut off and ends with a hardened disc which is strengthened by a system of ribs and grooves.
they dig a hole in the ground then display the disc thing, I guess so prey come and fuck around with it then get memed hard:

Can you stick your dick in it
How do you get your pictures to look so vintage/old fashioned? I love that style so much.
