The church of St Peter & St Paul at Nether Heyford is tucked away down a quiet lane and at first sight appears fairly modest by some standards with its simple squared-off tower and it's delightful caramel-coloured stonework.
The building is largely 14th century with later alterations and within is surprisingly spacious with an emphasis on width rather than height. The internal walls refreshingly retain their plaster, lightening the interior considerably (along with mostly clear-glazed windows). The most notable features here are the medieval Mauntell brass in the sanctuary and a fine mid-16th century wall monument to the Morgan family in the south aisle.

The church appears to be open and welcoming to visitors.

Knit circa 1993-1994.
Holes in the left leg and ankle despite hardly ever being worn. (Moths?)
Now what? Darn the holes, or cut them off above the knees for knicker length longies to be worn under a skirt?
Do I take too many pics of sheep? It is Derbyshire. You don't go to Paris and skip the Eiffel Tower do you?
The tree caught on fire and I cut it down. But I'm glad I did, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed the ravine right behind it.

Took a long while, but I finally hit jackpot. I was mining in my usual tunnel, when I remembered my old cavern I dug out. Then, I was looking through it and heard water. So, I dug where the sound was coming from and found a huge new cavern. Everywhere was a new passageway. There was a lot of water and lava, creating Obsidian. I mined 14 of that and came back to ground level. I placed it in a loop-ish shape and set it on fire. The portal can now be used! There are ghostly sounds coming from it and I haven't actually ventured in yet, but when I feel brave enough, I will.
August 2013. Close to Peat Inn near to St Andrews. Radernie was a coal mining village in Fife till 1920. The mines provided coal for Falkland Palace.

Located on the front wall of the musician's gallery at the west end.
It probably dates from the late Regency period or the reign of George IV.

Some bird ran away from netherworld or something. This bird is very difficult to see, be seen only when it senses that there is no threat around, and so we can see preening himself with confidence.
I marveled at the sight of this strange bird, as it is completely black but can be seen that the edges become white, even changing positions.
A well , everybody's heard about the bird.
Bird's the word
Quartz crystal-lined vug in chert ("flint") from the Pennsylvanian of Ohio, USA.
Flint is the "official" state gemstone of Ohio. "Flint" is sometimes used as a lithologic term by modern geologists, but it is a synonym for chert. Flint and chert are the same - they are cryptocrystalline, quartzose sedimentary rocks. Rockhounds often assert that flint is high-quality while chert is low-quality. Some geologists assert that "flint" implies a biogenic origin and "chert" implies a chemical origin.
Many cherts do have a chemical origin - chert nodules are moderately common in some limestone units. The nodules form during diagenesis - pre-existing silica components in the carbonate sediments are dissolved, mobilized, and reprecipitated as chert masses. Some cherts do have a biogenic origin - for example, radiolarian cherts (rich in radiolarian microfossils) or spicular cherts (rich in siliceous sponge spicules).
The most famous flint deposit in Ohio is Flint Ridge, in Licking County. At this locality, the Middle Pennsylvanian-aged Vanport Flint is exposed in several places. The geologic literature on the Vanport Flint is relatively sparse, with inaccurate & incomplete descriptions and characterizations. For example, the literature describes the Vanport as a sheet of flint at Flint Ridge - it's actually a meganodule horizon. Other descriptions refer to the chert as the remains of siliceous sponges. In reality, siliceous sponge spicules are quite scarce in Vanport samples.
Two graduate student projects during the 2000s, conducted at two different universities, had very different conclusions & interpretations about the origin of the Vanport Flint. A 2003 study concluded that chert at Flint Ridge is biogenic in origin. A 2006 study concluded that the chert is chemical in origin.
Studies done by geologists at Ohio State University at Newark indicate that the Vanport Flint has a relatively complex history, the details of which are still being worked out.
Modern flint knappers value the Vanport Flint for being multicolored and high-quality (= very few impurities). With artificial heating, the flint is more easily knapped into arrowheads, spear points, and other objects. Prehistoric American Indians quarried the Vanport Flint at many specific sites on Flint Ridge. Old Indian flint pits can be examined along hiking trails in Flint Ridge State Park ("State Memorial"). Many authentic Indian artifacts found in Ohio (arrowheads & spearpoint - "projectile points") are composed of Vanport Flint.
Shown above is a flint specimen from eastern Flint Ridge. The crystals are quartz lining a cavity (vug). Such cavities are moderately common in the Vanport Flint. Common minerals filling or lining these vugs are quartz and chalcedony (= fibrous microcrystalline quartz). Other minerals include barite (scarce) and siderite / ferroan dolomite (rare).
The yellowish-brown coloration of these quartz crystals is from iron oxide.

Boulders carpet the landscape of Kinder Scout, some of them not all evocative of anything, but certain ones such as this look like the giant eggs of some mythical creature.
Not only did I like this boulder's egg-like shape but some classic winter light was hitting the edge of the plateau, the kind of light somehow seems to make everything feel colder, a very particular but definite quality.
This is a little bit filler, but it's a picture I liked non-the-less, so enjoy!
