It probably dates from the late Regency period or the reign of George IV.

Sewer Gas Destructor Lamp, Brincliffe Edge Road, Nether Edge, Sheffield.
Made by the Webb Lamp Company of Birmingham, early c20.
Grade ll listed.
Biogas forming in sewers can be dangerous. Unlike ordinary gas lamps for street lighting, the main purpose of sewer gas destructor lamps is to remove sewer gases and their hazards. It was Joseph Edmund Webb of Birmingham who patented a sewer gas destructor lamp.
With a flame generated by burning town gas, sewer gases were drawn from the sewer below and burnt off along with the town gas to produce mainly carbon dioxide.
The lamps were installed at places where sewer gases were likely to collect, such as at the tops of hills. The City of Sheffield, built on seven hills, had many sewer gas destructor lamps and some still remain.
84 were erected in Sheffield between 1914 & 1935, the largest number in any British town, mainly on the hills where gas could be trapped. Around 24 remain, some partially dismantled and some in good repair and listed, grade ll.

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.

Piano - wonder what tunes it has played?

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!

Flint from the Pennsylvanian of Ohio, USA. (field of view ~6.6 centimeters across)
Flint is the "official" state gemstone of Ohio (actually, there's no such thing as "official" anything). "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 & spearpoints - "projectile points") are composed of Vanport Flint.
The yellowish and yellowish-brown colors are from iron oxide impurities (hematite and possibly limonite).
Much of the rock in this shot is fractured and brecciated flint, with angular clasts well cemented together by slightly bluish-gray chalcedony (= translucent, microcrystalline, fibrous quartz) and megaquartz (= macroscopic quartz in chert).
