Our Grumman Cheetah was a couple hours away getting an annual and a top overhaul with high compression pistons. My friend gave me a ride down in his Familie's Mooney to pick it up so some formation flying was in order for the trip back.

RAF Hercules C.4 aircraft ZH871 led by ZH879 as the formation lines up to make a low pass over Runway 22 at Swansea Airport.
15th February 2017.
I love the look of this rock formation by South Stack Lighthouse. I also think the light colour looks really good in contrast to the very dark rocks in the background.
Ive been rather taken by the formations found along the coastline of Cardigan Bay around Aberystwyth.
i think this is the last one for fleetweek (this year). don't they look like plastic toys?
best viewed large
striation in the rocks. On the left is a red rock formed when Britain was a wet puddle sitting more equtorial. on the right a lighter rock formed when Briatin was much drier. the layers where then buckled up and eroded to form this striation.

Banded ferruginous chert (cut & polished surface)
Banded iron formations, or BIFs, are unusual, dense sedimentary rocks consisting of alternating layers of iron-rich oxides and iron-rich silicates. Most BIFs are Proterozoic in age (although some are Late Archean), and do not form today - they're “extinct”! Many specific varieties of iron formation are known, and some are given special rock names. For example, jaspilite is an attractive reddish & silvery gray banded rock consisting of hematite, red chert (“jasper”), and specular hematite or magnetite.
Because of their age, most BIFs have been around long enough to have been subjected to one or more orogenic (mountain-building) events. As such, most BIFs are folded and/or metamorphosed to varying degrees.
BIFs are known from around the world, but some of the most famous & extensive BIF deposits are found in the vicinity of North America’s Lake Superior Basin. Many BIFs have economic concentrations of iron and are mined. BIFs are the most important variety of iron ore on Earth.
The sample shown above is a banded ferruginous chert - I doubt that this comes close to an iron ore.
Meteora, a rock formation in central Greece hosting one of the largest and most precipitously built complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries, Monasteries are built on immense natural pillars and hill-like rounded boulders that dominate the local area. The rock formations have always been a site of worship for the ancient people of the area, however between the 13th and 14th century the twenty four monasteries were established atop the rocks. Meteora is located near the town of Kalabaka at the northwestern edge of the Plain of Thessaly near Pindus Mountains
Ceraurinus icarus (Billings, 1860) - fossil trilobite cranidium in limestone from the Ordovician of Ohio, USA.
The famous Cincinnatian Series of the tristate area of Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana has some of the richest fossiliferous rocks on Earth. Cincinnatian rocks were deposited in relatively shallow marine facies during the Late Ordovician. The Cincinnatian succession is mostly interbedded limestones and shales. Most of the limestones are event beds (= tempestites), deposited during ancient storms.
Seen here is a trilobite from the Cincinnatian of Ohio. Trilobites are extinct marine arthropods. They first appear in Lower Cambrian rocks and went extinct at the end of the Permian. Trilobites had a calcitic exoskeleton and nonmineralizing parts underneath (legs, gills, gut, etc.). The calcite skeleton is most commonly preserved in the fossil record, although soft-part preservation is known in some trilobites (Ex: Burgess Shale and Hunsruck Slate). Trilobites had a head (cephalon), a body of many segments (thorax), and a tail (pygidium). Molts and carcasses usually fell apart quickly - most trilobite fossils are isolated parts of the head (cranidium and free cheeks), individual thoracic segments, or separated pygidia. The name "trilobite" was introduced in 1771 by Johann Ernst Immanuel Walch and refers to the tripartite division of the trilobite body - it has a central axial lobe that runs longitudinally from the head to the tail, plus two side lobes (pleural lobes).
This is the cranidium (= central structure of the head) of Ceraurinus icarus, a rare Cincinnatian trilobite species. It has been reported from the upper Cincinnatian, in the Arnheim, Liberty, and Whitewater Formations.
