In geology, cross-bedding, also known as cross-stratification, is layering within a stratum and at an angle to the main bedding plane. The sedimentary structures which result are roughly horizontal units composed of inclined layers. The original depositional layering is tilted, such tilting not being the result of post-depositional deformation. Cross-beds or "sets" are the groups of inclined layers, which are known as cross-strata.
Cross-bedding forms during deposition on the inclined surfaces of bedforms such as ripples and dunes; it indicates that the depositional environment contained a flowing medium (typically water or wind). Examples of these bedforms are ripples, dunes, anti-dunes, sand waves, hummocks, bars, and delta slopes. Environments in which water movement is fast enough and deep enough to develop large-scale bed forms fall into three natural groupings: rivers, tide-dominated coastal and marine settings.
A duo of trees and a wayside cross at Munstergeleen. They area located at the end of a steep descending road.
Not sure how old all of these are, but I remember them all from early childhood on, and climbing that tree :)

The Heroes' Cross is a monument built between 1926 and 1928 on Caraiman Peak at an altitude of 2,291 m located in Romania, in the Bucegi Mountains of the Southern Carpathians. The name of the monument is "The Heroes' Cross", but it is popularly known as the "Cross on Caraiman".
The cross itself has a height of 28 metres (92 ft) and two arms of 7 metres (23 ft) each. The monument is the tallest summit cross in the world situated at such an altitude, as recognized in 2014 by Guinness World Records. The width of the vertical pole is 2 metres (7 ft), the horizontal arms have a length by spindle pole of 7 metres (23 ft), and a square cross section with sides of 2 metres (7 ft). The cross is made out of steel profiles and is mounted on a pedestal of concrete clad with stone 7.5 metres (25 ft) high. Inside the pedestal there is a room that originally housed the electric generator that powered the 120 light bulbs of 500 W each located on the perimeter of the cross" - Wiki

La Mercat Cross (Croix de Marché) d'Édimbourg se dresse sur la place du Parlement à côté de la cathédrale Saint-Gilles. L'actuelle Mercat Cross, d'origine victorienne (1882), a été construite à proximité du site occupé par l'originale.
Comme ailleurs en Écosse, d'importantes annonces civiques ont été faites à la Mercat Cross. À Édimbourg, les proclamations royales et parlementaires qui ont affecté toute l'Écosse y ont été lues publiquement. La pratique d'annoncer les successions à la monarchie et la convocation d'élections générales est poursuivie à ce jour par les hérauts du Lord Lyon, roi des Armes.
La Croix est surmontée de la Licorne, animal emblématique de l'Ecosse. Les écussons représentent les armoiries royales de Grande-Bretagne, d'Écosse, d'Angleterre et d'Irlande, les armoiries d'Édimbourg, de Leith et du Canongate ainsi que celles de l'Université d'Edimbourg.
One night in 1984, the Reverend Bernard Coffindaffer had an epiphany. God called him, he explained afterward, to erect sets of three crosses across the land to recall Christ's crucifixion at Calvary. He would raise them wherever he could and start nearby—in the foothills west of the Allegheny Mountains in central West Virginia.
I'm not sure if these three crosses are part of what he erected, because he died in 1993 and others have taken up his mission. Most of his were painted with the center one being yellow and the two flanking ones blue. Many are now falling in disrepair which I find sad. It was very foggy the day I took this photo. Anyway, seems a fitting photo for today as it's Sabbath and Anita, Maddy (grandbaby) and I are headed to Roanoke and church. Have a blessed day everyone! :)
I did a wee shoot at a local graveyard recently and I took this picture of a Cross on top of a crypt and I tried to incorporate the Church window in the background. I don't know if this picture is any good or not but I like the effect and with it being Easter I thought I'd upload it...

Happy Easter, everyone! I'm sorry I'm really behind with commenting these days...I will catch up though, promise!
