Huntsmans quarry extracts Jurassic Limestone with the help of this breaker. No blasting is used as the resulting stone would be too broken-up.
This picture shows the blue-grey mudstone of the Fullers Earth Formation which overlays one of the Limestone units.
First "real" light of the new scope + reducer.
Conditions were less than ideal
- The camera is definitely tilted
- Foggy conditions with lot of light pollution

Aerial photograph from the salt patterns and the ‪‎salt‬ miner ‪#‎caravan‬ marching to the salt extraction site, where they cut brick like chunks of salt from the ground and load them on the camels, working from 8am to 4pm while temperatures rise above 45 Cº. The ‪‎Danakil‬ depression, ‪#Ethiopia‬, is located below sea level and the region's salt deposits were created over time as water from the Red Sea periodically flooded the depression and evaporated, the most recent such flood was roughly 30,000 years ago and the next is estimated to be in about 10 million years.

A special operations forces team is tasked to intercept a convoy heading to a terrorist cell. The convoy is carrying a crate containing VX nerve gas. The team's objective is to ambush the convoy and retrieve the crate of VX gas.
After recovering the VX gas, the team was extracted by two HH-60 helicopters
Final part of Operation Alcatraz.
With the UFA forces stretched thinly across the southern African plateau a desperate counter attack was needed. Following the unforeseen success of these attacks Eurasian forces were pushed back. Many high ranking, Eurasian officials were caught off guard and quickly found themselves behind enemy lines. The commander and chief of Eurasian forces in Africa quickly authorised the the evacuation of these vital pinheads. Carrying out these operations were the Eurasian special task force. Air dropped behind enemy lines under the cover of darkness, these teams were tasked with extracting, or if the situation became dire the assassination, of these vital assets. Throughout the course of these operations the Eurasian special task forces saw unparalleled success with only a few units being captured. Once such operation, despite initial success in recovering the asset, quickly went downhill with intel-aided UFA forces quickly surrounding the remote high altitude flight port where the operation was being carried out.

The abandoned Foundry was littered with dust and metal shavings! This large conveyor, with an extraction system appears to have been unused for many years.
We generally give Sock a puzzle toy every other day or so. He loves these toys because they're filled with treats and goodies so he really looks forward to them.
The thing is though, he's a one trick pony and his only way of solving the puzzle is to pick the toy up and then drop it.
It's usually fairly effective, but every once in a while a treat goes off trajectory and he loses it.
Well, last night he must have lost one of his snacks under the couch because he was fixated on trying to get under it (spoiler alert - he's too big). Scott took a look with the flashlight and couldn't see anything.
Sock disagreed.
So tonight, as the obsession continued, Scott decided to investigate and lifted the couch.
Sock was right and happily retrieved his much anticipated snack.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

People's Republic of Catland RRT Extraction unit - Oil.
Oil is a strategic resource for waging war. This is why the National Institute of hydrography is responsible for oil exploration and production in Catland. Specialists of this Institute came to an unexpected discovery. They found almost limitless sources of high concentrations of petroleum products in the ocean... The difficulty of getting them was that they were ... moving!!! Therefore, the Navy was involved in oil production. A geological survey vessel (enemy propaganda for some reason calls this peaceful ship a heavy missile cruiser "Sea Leopard" class) detects an oil field and stops it with 130 mm research probes... Next, an oil-producing vessel is moored to the ship-oil field, marine special forces block the bridge of the enemy ship, a powerful shipboard crane is used to install drilling rig and oil production begins! The extracted oil is transferred to a tanker (to avoid further incidents and lawsuits, the national Institute of hydrography uses nuclear submarines to transport oil). The only drawback of this method of production is that after 130-mm research probes hit the ship-oil field, there are usually oil leaks in the sea and other troubles...

Extracted 3 frames from a 4K video shot on my Mavic 3 Classic this morning, processed into a very printable image.
I'm impressed!

Hello everybody! It's with pleasure to show you a few upcoming snippets of the untainted landscape surrounding Mia's darling of a home. situated in a dune filled landing with lush snake grass, off from a channel directly out with private beach viewings. The eeriness of the early casting, peeks the morning, as the sky gloom's over with a subtle glow over the rich essence of which beholds an inviting home with a rich flavourful palette consisting of extractions from nature beneath our temple. Sheer draped window dressing's, semi divide this outdoor/indoor dwelling, as you walk-on in through the open plan living with spectacular sightings (on a 1/4th of a sim) of the architecturally enhanced movement with the pedestrian plan.
A non traditional home, with side panelling glass windows that showcase. Stepping out over the balcony, paying attention to the highlighting of each passerby.
More descriptive information of this home later on.

Poured all day and I needed a tooth pulled. Feeling just a tad under the weather. 😄 Puddle in the road outside my home and a plant in the dentist office.
To keep away those pesky Blacktrons from around your digging sites.
The front fits two hard working M-tron security dudes side by side. I wanted to sit a gunner in the back but it turned out to be too tricky for my patience.

Dust extraction and preheater tower at the Hanson (Heidelberg) cement works at Clitheroe. Dust collection to the fore and the chimney on top was at a funny angle after storm damage. The company was waiting for a shutdown when it would be reattached properly.

El argán (Argania espinosa) es un árbol único en el mundo, exclusivo de las resecas montañas del Atlas y el Antiatlas marroquÃ, en las regiones de Essaouira y Agadir, a las puertas del desierto.
El aceite de argán es el más caro del mundo, dado su lento y laborioso proceso de extracción (50-100 euros el litro), el más desconocido y milagroso de todos, el secreto de la belleza y la salud de las mujeres bereberes, oro lÃquido, bálsamo sublime.
Un poco de aceite de argán, de delicioso sabor a nuez, untado en esponjoso pan bereber, es una de las experiencias gastronómicas únicas de todo viaje al suroeste de Marruecos. Además tiene propiedades antienvejecimiento, contra la impotencia e incluso anticancerÃgenas.
Es producido por las cooperativas de varias mujeres en la región, trabajando más de 12 horas diarias. Primero retiran la pulpa suave (usada como pienso) a mano, entre dos piedras, hasta obtener la nuez dura.
Las semillas entonces se quitan y se asan suavemente. La técnica tradicional para la extracción de aceite es moler las semillas asadas con agua, en un quern (molinillo de mano) rotatorio de piedra. La goma entonces se exprime entre las manos para extraer el aceite. La goma extraÃda sigue siendo rica en aceite y se utiliza como pienso. El aceite producido con este método, se guardará 3-6 meses para su uso familiar en un almacén de los núcleos, que mantendrán por 20 años.

Argan oil is slightly darker than olive oil, with a reddish tinge. It can be used for cooking and is claimed to have various medicinal properties, such as lowering cholesterol levels, stimulating circulation and strengthening the body’s natural defences.
And, internationally, there is a growing interest in its cosmetic uses.
I've been wanting to have another go at creating a light orb so I set about making a rig and this was the 1st and only shot I got on location before I discovered my rig wasn't as robust as I thought, watch this space!!!
Skeet Shooting | view on black
My shooting buddies and I went skeet shooting today. I packed my break action 12 gauge shotgun, a few boxes of ammo, shell pouch, ear and eye protection, then headed to the skeet and trap range early. Along with the rest of my shooting gear was the other shooting gear.
After two rounds of American skeet and two rounds of Wobble skeet (one round of consists of 25 clays), I decided to do the other kind of shooting and was fortunate enough to get a few good shots.
Skeet shooting is one of the major types of clay shooting discipline. A variant of skeet called International skeet was introduced in the Olympics in 1968.
