Seed magazine wants pictures of where people do science. The post is entitled "What's your workbench?" - which says something about the stereotypical view of science.
Clearly, they need pictures from geoscientists.
I mean... this is where I do science:

But the field pictures are prettier. Though I imagine that a skilled photographer could do something interesting with a core library.
The last core library I went to was actually outdoors, with added lizards and poisonous snakes.
But I think the contrasts are interesting. Depending on the stage of our research, our 'office' is either the middle of nowhere, a windowless lab, or an untidy desk. Variety is the spice of life...
