Mosaic of basalt and limestone. The islands are volcanic, so the basalt is to hand, but the limestone is imported. That is why most pavements are black with white, but apparently in Lisbon, where it is the inverse, they are white with black.

Locality: Salt River, Maricopa County, Arizona
This is a great example of a Porphyritic Basalt with Phenocrysts of Plagiocalse Feldspar.
What make this an even more educational rock is the zoning within the feldspar crystals.
Note also a second generation of crystals. These are small (1 or 2 mm) sized white lines scattered through the basalt. These are nicely displayed in the close up view (link below).
This basalt had at least 3 distinct stages of cooling. (The third being the formation of the basaltic groundmass.)

Amygdaloidal basalt from the Precambrian of northern Michigan, USA.
The Portage Lake Volcanic Series is an extremely thick, Precambrian-aged, flood basalt deposit that fills up an ancient continental rift valley. This rift valley, analogous to the present-day East African Rift Valley, extends from Kansas to Minnesota to the Lake Superior area to southern Michigan. Unlike many flood basalts (e.g., Deccan Traps, Siberian Traps, Columbia River), the Portage Lake only filled up the rift valley. The unit is exposed throughout Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula, in the vicinity of the towns of Houghton & Hancock.
The Portage Lake succession thickens northward through the Keweenaw, up to 5.5+ kilometers of section in places. The dominant rock type is basalt - vesicular basalts, for the most part. Most of the original vesicles (gas bubbles) have since been filled up with a wide variety of different minerals. A vesicular basalt with its vesicles subsequently filled with secondary minerals is called an amygdaloidal basalt. Keweenaw amygdaloidal basalts have long had significant economic importance because native copper (Cu) is one of the more common vesicle-filling and fracture-filling minerals. Keweenaw has (had) the highest concentration of native copper anywhere on Earth. Numerous Keweenaw-area copper mines have exploited these cupriferous amygdaloidal basalts. The copper mines are no longer operating.
Basalt is the not the only lithology in the Portage Lake succession - coarse-grained siliciclastics (conglomerates, sandstones) were occasionally deposited atop the basalts between lava flow events. These beds are fairly similar to the coarse-grained siliciclastics in the overyling Copper Harbor Conglomerate.
The rock seen here is a typical Portage Lake amygdaloidal basalt. The dark-colored material is basalt. The lighter-colored spots and masses are various minerals that have filled up former vesicles in the lava. The greenish mineral is probably epidote.

Las columnas basálticas (o columnata basáltica u órganos basálticos) son formaciones regulares de pilares más o menos verticales, con forma de prismas poligonales (predominando los hexagonales), que se forman por rotura de la roca durante el enfriamiento relativamente lento de lava basáltica en algunas coladas, en chimeneas volcánicas o en calderas que no llegan a desbordarse o vaciarse repentinamente, por lo que su enfriamiento sucede in situ.

Completely new graphic for this agency! They wanted something that would be easily recognizable both during the daytime and at night. So, this fully reflective graphics package works for their needs. This agency also decided to go with the Hybrid version of this vehicle. It looks very nice and the "green" nature of the vehicle will support their community goals.
One of the most famous such examples is the Giant's Causeway on the coast of Ireland (See Image),though the largest and most widely recognized would be Devil's Tower in Wyoming.
Legend has it that the Irish giant Fionn mac Cumhaill (Finn McCool) built the causeway to walk to Scotland to fight his Scottish counterpart Benandonner. When he got there he found his rival asleep, and, seeing that his rival was much bigger than he, fled back to Ireland. When he did not arrive, the much larger Benandonner crossed the bridge looking for him. To protect Fionn, his wife Oonagh laid a blanket over him so he could pretend that he was actually their baby son. When Benandonner saw the size of the 'infant', he assumed the alleged father, Fionn, must be gigantic indeed. Therefore, Benandonner fled home in terror, ripping up the Causeway in case he was followed by Fionn. (source: Wikipedia)

A precise location is needed for this one and a bonus for who it was presented to.

---------------------------------
Igneous rocks form by the cooling and crystallization of hot, molten rock (magma / lava). If this happens at or near the land surface, or on the seafloor, they are extrusive igneous rocks. If this happens deep underground, they are intrusive igneous rocks. Most igneous rocks have a crystalline texture, but some are clastic, vesicular, frothy, or glassy.
Basalt is a common extrusive igneous rock. Basalt is the dominant rock in Earth’s upper oceanic crust. Black lava rocks seen at famous volcanoes such as Mt. Kilauea in Hawaii and Mt. Etna in Sicily are composed of basalt. Basalt has a mafic chemistry. Mafic igneous rocks are generally dark-colored, have 45-52% silica (= SiO2 chemistry) (mafic has also been defined as 45 to 55% silica), are rich in iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg), and calcium (Ca), and are dominated by the minerals plagioclase feldspar, pyroxene, and sometimes olivine (this example has a greenish olivine component).
Basalts have an aphanitic texture (finely crystalline - all or almost all crystals are less than 1 millimeter in size each), but some are porphyritic or coarsely crystalline if the lava flow took time to cool and solidify (e.g., some Proterozoic basalt lavas in the Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan's Upper Peninsula).
Vesicular basalts (e.g., the sample seen here) are essentially intermediate lithologies between basalts and scorias. Scorias are basaltic rocks with numerous small gas bubbles. Vesicular basalts are basaltic rocks having relatively few, relatively large gas bubbles. Vesicular basalt is more dense than scoria (some scorias will float on water; vesicular basalts won’t do that).

The beauty of Iceland never ceases to amaze. It keeps calling you back again and again.

Die Verladeanlage der Basalt AG befand sich an der Notscheider Straße. Sie ist heute nicht mehr existent. Die Güterzüge wurden vom Bahnhof Linz am Rhein von Steilstreckendiesellokomotiven der Bauart 213 über die Steilstrecke geschoben. Die Streckenkontrolle erfolgte von einem Güterzugbegleitwagen Pwgs 041 aus.
