Limestones in the Mississippian of Ohio, USA.
The Maxville Limestone is the only Middle to Late Mississippian-aged stratigraphic unit in Ohio. Its outcrop belt is not extensive - it principally occurs in Muskingum County and Perry County in eastern and southeastern Ohio. The Maxville Formation can also be found as cobbles and pebbles in the basal Sharon Formation (Lower Pennsylvanian), which disconformably overlies Ohio's Mississippian rocks. Paleohills, or erosional outliers, of Maxville Limestone have also been identified.
The outcrop shown above is a natural streamcut in Muskingum County, Ohio showing thick-bedded Maxville Limestone. The rocks here are principally micritic limestones that are sparsely fossiliferous (decent fossil-bearing horizons do occur in the upper Maxville Limestone). A few productid brachiopods were observed at this site.
Stratigraphy: Maxville Limestone, Meramecian Series to Chesterian Series, Middle to Upper Mississippian
Locality: outcrop on the southern side of Jonathan Run, a little upstream from Workman Road bridge, north-northwest of the town of Fultonham, southwestern Muskingum County, eastern Ohio, USA

The Santarém Archaeological Museum has been housed in the Church of São João de Alporão since 1876. It is the only example of (12th-century) Romanesque architecture in the city, bearing witness to the Christian Reconquest, with important Gothic features from the 13th century.
The church was complemented by a circular tower (demolished in 1785), which reinforced its military and defensive role, justified by the fact that it was situated at one of the city gates leading to the old citadel. The façade still maintains many of its original imposing features, most notably the projecting doorway and a beautiful rose-window that helps to illuminate the church's interior.
The interior is in fact marked by two different architectural periods: one aspect is Romanesque, powerful and determined, visible throughout the body of the church, which faces east-west in keeping with the Christian canon; the other is Gothic, more delicate and harmonious, visible in the many ribs of the vaulting above the apse, a style which is subtly integrated into the whole. Around the apse is a curious and very narrow deambulatory, which is just wide enough for one person to walk along. This Gothic feature is unique in the Iberian Peninsula.
Its valuable collection consists mainly of lapidary items, originally belonging to some of the city's convents and religious buildings. Since that time, this collection has occupied the space originally used for worship, showing us a little of the history of Santarém.

Fox squirrels on a hot spring day in Ann Arbor, Wednesday May 31st, 2023. Cute juveniles making their way on campus. Did see a new squirrel who had a bad case of mange on the Diag (between Hatcher and Mason Hall). Got the first dose of meds - calling him Boulder. I also saw a squirrel over on the Law Quad and I named "Lucky." That is the squirrel with the talon marks on her back... Wishing you joy, health and peace wherever you are.

This is the coat of arms of my home town of Sandwich in Kent. The five ports on the SE coast had special privileges and duties from Anglo-Saxon times until the 19th century. The original 5 ports were Sandwich, Dover, Hastings, Romney and Hythe, with the Ancient Towns of Rye and Winchelsea being added by Richard I as 'limbs', with other places being added later. This confederacy established by Edward the Confessor (c1050) furnished ships and men for the state in return for priveleges such as tax exemptions and the framing of bye-laws.

FINAL FLIGHT OF THE ROYAL NAVY Sea King
Sea King Mk7 helicopters left RNAS Culdrose for the last time on Wednesday 26th September 2018
Aircraft in the pictures are flying over over Burrator Reservoir,Sheepstor, nr Yelverton, Devon on route from RNAS Culdrose to HMS Sultan
After almost 50 years of active operations, the last military Sea King helicopters from flying in the United Kingdom, left Royal Naval Air Station Culdrose in Helston, Cornwall for retirement on Wednesday 26th September 2018.
Aircrew from 849 Naval Air Squadron flew them the Sea King helicopters to HMS Sultan for disposal. The helicopters took off from RNAS Culdrose, refuelled at RNAS Yeovilton and then flew over Westlands where the Sea King helicopters were made, and various Naval establishments in the Portsmouth area. A fourth aircraft wiill be delivered by road.
This very special aircraft has played a vital role in many operational conflicts including the Falklands, Iraq, the Balkans, Sierra Leone and Afghanistan. During the past 49 years, the Sea King helicopter has been used for anti-submarine warfare, search-and-rescue missions, carrying Royal Marines Commandos into action and has provided airborne early warning and intelligence to the Fleet and ground forces. It’s in that last role – the Sea King Mk7 Airborne Surveillance and Control (ASaC) helicopter – that an aircraft designed in the late 1950s, flew its final operational mission earlier this year.
Musicians from parishes throughout the Diocese of Grand Rapids attended the annual Evening Prayer and Blessing of Musicians which took place at the Cathedral of Saint Andrew Sept. 18, 2018. The event, with Bishop David Walkowiak presiding, was hosted by the Grand Rapids Chapter of the National Association of Pastoral Musicians, and took place in the context of sung Evening Prayer, with a renewal of the musicians' commitment to service following the homily. A reception was held afterward in the cathedral's parish family center.

A visit to the Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria in Peruigia.
From the third floor upwards.
Mostly crucifixion crosses and other Christian religious art not to my taste.
Got these views though out of the windows.
After getting our tickets, we had to put our large bags in a locker.
The Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria (English: National Gallery of Umbria) the Italian national paintings collection of Umbria, housed in the Palazzo dei Priori, Perugia, in central Italy. Located on the upper floors of the Palazzo dei Priori, the exhibition spaces occupy two floors and the collection comprises the greatest representation of the Umbrian School of painting, ranging from the 13th to the 19th century, strongest in the fourteenth through sixteenth centuries. The collection is presented in 40 exhibition rooms in the Palazzo. On the second floor of the Gallery, there is an exhibition space for temporary collections, changed several times a year.
The collection's origins lie in the foundation of the Perugian Accademia del Disegno in the mid-16th century. The Academy was originally based in the Convento degli Olivetani at Montemorcino, where it began to assemble a collection of paintings and drawings. The town became part of the French department of Trasimène in 1798 and its religious houses were suppressed. This suppression was repeated by the united Kingdom of Italy from the 1860s onwards - both suppressions shifted a large number of paintings and artworks from church to state ownership.
In 1863, the civic paintings collection was formally named after Pietro Vannucci, but the problem of establishing an appropriate site to house the collection was not solved until 1878, when it moved into the third floor of the Palazzo dei Priori in the town centre. With the addition of acquisitions, donations and bequests, the pinacoteca became the Regia Galleria Vannucci in 1918, under the patronage of the king. The name was later changed to Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria. Over the years the entire complex of Palazzo dei Priori has been repeatedly affected by renovations and functional adaptation. The museum path, inaugurated in its current form in 2006, occupies an area of 4000 square meters on two floors.

University of Saint Mary students—supported by faculty, staff, and members of the Leavenworth area community—gathered in McGilley Field House on Nov. 15 to package 22,032 meals for shipment to families in need in Ebola-stricken Liberia, exceeding the group's goals by over 2,000 meals!
The effort, part of the university’s annual anti-hunger activities, was held in concert with international hunger relief agency Outreach Inc.
Feed the Need is the 2014 entry in the John Baker Global Service Project series—an annual event named in honor for USM Board of Trustee Member John Baker, who was well-known for his spirit of community service. Baker passed away this year.
Campus Minister Bob Killion says the event was a smashing success. "Working with Outreach was a real pleasure. Isaac McNary, who worked with us on the project, was especially impressed with USM’s athletes, who worked hard to make the event both fun and successful."

Mother of God Church, or Mutter Gottes Kirche, is a Catholic church located on 6th Street in the Mutter Gottes neighborhood of Covington, Kentucky, which was named for the church. Built between 1869 and 1871, the impressive Renaissance Revival-style church once was home to a large German-speaking congregation, and features two tall towers and a centrally located dome. The church features stained glass and statues from the Mayer & Company of Munich, Germany, murals by Johann Schmitt, and carved altars by the Schroder Brothers of Cincinnati. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and was fully restored to how it appeared in 1890 following the roof catching fire after a tornado in 1986.
Bruges (or Brugge in Flemish) is the capital and largest city of the province of West Flanders in the Flemish Region of Belgium, in the northwest of the country. It is the seventh largest city of the country by population.
The area of the whole city amounts to more than 13,840 hectares (or 53.44 square miles), including 1,075 hectares off the coast, at Zeebrugge. The historic city center is a prominent World Heritage Site of UNESCO. It is oval in shape and about 430 hectares in size. The city's total population is approximately 117,000, of whom around 20,000 live in the city center. The metropolitan area has a total of 255,844 inhabitants as of 1 January 2008.
Along with a few other canal-based northern cities, such as Amsterdam, it is sometimes referred to as the Venice of the North. Bruges has a significant economic importance, thanks to its port, and was once one of the world's chief commercial cities. Bruges is well known as the seat of the College of Europe, a university institute for European studies.
