Geology In Pop Culture - License Plate Geology #1

I have been on the look out for geological based license plates recently and I captured this one the other day. A but blurry (from the phone) but you can still see that it says "Karste" quite clearly.

I am not sure the rules of posting the images of license plate but I don't think there is really anything wrong with it, especially since we see them on the road everyday. And I figured that if I don't post any of the other information of the car owner, make, model, etc. along with the license plate I should be all set. Well I cropped out the the rest of the car just to be safe.

Karst:
noun, Geology.
1. an area of limestone terrane characterized by sinks, ravines, and underground streams. (dictionary.com)
