I liked the blue inclusions here. A coworker is going to retire soon and is preparing to sell her home. In cleaning out some of her stuff was a box with several rock samples. I took them home.
This was the third rock city barn I ever visited almost 3 years ago. Now that I live in this county, I shall likely pass by more often. It is a few miles south of Eagleville, TN on U.S. 41A

Church of St Philip & St James, Rock Northumberland
A 12c church with Norman features in an estate village 5 miles north of Alnwick.
Probably built as a Chapel of Ease to Embleton c1176 consisting of a nave & chancel separated by a rood screen. Sadly this fell into disrepair and by the end of the 18c and was in such a dilapidated state that no services could be held.
Its saviour was Charles Bosanquet flic.kr/p/Kb3Jx who bought the manor in 1804 & in 1806 came to its rescue. He also had a timber gallery constructed in 1824 over the west door to provide a pew for his large & growing family , and his Hall servants .
In 1855 his son Rev. Robert William Bosanquet decided that further improvements should be carried out, employing architect Anthony Salvin, who was living mainly at Alnwick to supervise the Duke of Northumberland's alterations at Alnwick Castle.
This involved the building of the semi-circular apse at the east end of the chancel, the rebuilding of the vestry, and the restoration of the old Norman and Early English windows, In 1866 a north aisle was added by architect F. R. Wilson. The north wall was moved stone by stone, including a Norman window and the corbel table.
The fine west door, with its rich zig-zag work, and the north wall of the nave are, externally, much as they appeared about 1176.
On the north wall of the chancel are stone shields with the arms (3 swine) flic.kr/p/2iFbyjX of the Swinhoe family, who owned Rock Estate from c 1370 0 - 1560. There is also a single shield bearing three water bougets the arms of the Proctors who lived at Rock in the early 18c .
There is also a monument to Colonel John Salkeld, the last of the line of the family who owned the estate from 1620 t- 1705. A a bold and consistent supporter of the Stuarts, the monument records his 'constant dangerous and expensive loyalty'
The large three-manual organ was built in the north aisle in 1881, was a gift from Holford MacDowall Bosanquet, fellow of St John's College, Oxford, a mathematician and musician.
In the south wall of the nave there is a stained glass window by Leonard Evetts commemorating Robert Carr Bosanquet, archaeologist and Director of the British School of Archaeology at Athens, and his wife Ellen Sophia, their son Charles Ion Carr Bosanquet, first Vice-Chancellor of the University of Newcastle, and his wife Barbara flic.kr/p/2iFbNoU

I PiL arrivano in Italia per due date ad Ottobre: Sabato 10 al Rivolta di Marghera, Domenica 11 ai Magazzini Generali di Milano.
Public Image Ltd. (PiL) è una band post-punk fondata da John Lydon (Johnny Rotten, ex cantante dei Sex Pistols) nel 1978 a Londra.
Progetto realizzato assieme al chitarrista Keith Levene (con un breve passato come componente in The Clash) e al bassista Jah Wobble, la band si caratterizzò per un sound tribal, world, Post-punk/New wave del tutto inedito per i tempi, che consegnò l'opera del gruppo alla storia in maniera similare a quanto avvenuto per gruppi assolutamente unici eppure assolutamente influenti su di un numero di grandi esperienze musicali successive come Pop Group e Can.
Con una line-up cangiante e un suono unico John Lydon ha guidato la band dall’album di debutto “First Issue” nel 1978 fino all’album del 1992 ‘That What Is Not’. Dopo una pausa di 17 anni, Lydon ha riattivato i PiL nel 2009, portandoli di nuovo in tour per tutto il mondo. A settembre del 2015 annunciano l’uscita del loro decimo album in studio. Le 11 tracce dell’album seguono il grande successo di ‘This is PiL’ del 2012, il primo album della band dopo 17 anni.
I Public Image Ltd sono:
John Lydon – Dopo essere stato il front man dei Sex Pistols, John Lydon ha fondato i Public Image Ltd nel 1978. Oltre ai PiL John ha realizzato diversi dischi e collaborazioni.

Lu Edmonds – Polistrumentista ed ex chitarrista dei The Damned, Lu si è unito ai PiL nel 1986 registrando e suonando nell’album ‘Happy?’ e co-scrivendo l’album ‘9’ aggiungendo una nuova dimensione al suono dei PiL
Bruce Smith – Batterista e fondatore del The Pop Group dei componente delle The Slits Bruce è divenuto percussionista dei PiL nel 1986 registrando e suonando nell’album ‘Happy?’ e ‘9’. Visto come un virtuoso della batteria, Bruce ha portato il suo stile unico nella band.

"We were at the beach
Everybody had matching towels
Somebody went under a dock
And there they saw a rock
It wasn't a rock
It was a rock lobster ."

This 60 foot magentic rock is a highlight in Northern Minnesota along the Gunflint Trail. When holding a compass up to the rock, the north arrow will spin around until it points to the rock.

Slick Rock Falls was at the end of the trail where the mushroom was found. More schrooms and falls to follow.
Happy 4th of July!!!

Anyone who ever went to rock club in the 1970's (or later) will recognise this sort of scene, I was sitting on top of the band's equipment flight cases at the time not too far from the RH PA stack. Things got quite loud in those days :- ) When you saw a row of Marshall heads stacked on multiple speaker cabs you knew you were in for ear bashing (even if some of them were spares.....).
This is JB's Club, King Street Dudley, the band "Wild Horses" the date 16/12/78.
The line up at the time was Brian Robertson (Guitar) Jimmy Bain (Bass) and Dixie Lea(Drums), Neil Carter(Guitar), Thanks to Lee Jones for clarifying the line up :-)
Hier ben ik!
Ayers Rock en de spectaculaire zonsondergang (of zonsopgang). De rots gaat over van warmrood naar donker purper, altijd met een inwendige gloed.
Uluṟu of Ayers Rock is een reusachtige rotsformatie die ongeveer in het midden van Australië ligt, in het Noordelijk Territorium, in een gebied dat wegens de rode kleur van de grond ook bekend staat als het Rode Centrum.
Voor de lokale Aborigines, de Anangu, is Uluṟu een belangrijke religieuze plaats. De rots is verbonden met hun mythologie, de Tjukurpa, ook bekend als Droomtijd. Alle facetten van de rots hebben een bepaalde betekenis en zijn met elkaar verbonden via de mythologie in de Tjukurpa. Bepaalde scheuren in de rots zijn voor de Anangu de overblijfselen van een strijd tussen twee mythologische wezens uit de Droomtijd.
Verschillende kleine gaten worden geassocieerd met holen gegraven door mythologische mollen. Zo vormt de rots als het ware een Bijbel voor de Anangu, die geen schrift hadden om hun mythologie op te schrijven. Er zijn verschillende heilige plekken rondom de rots die een speciale rol spelen bij mannen- of vrouwenrituelen.
Uluru, also referred to as Ayers Rock, is a large sandstone rock formation in the southern part of the Northern Territory, central Australia. It lies 335 km (208 mi) south west of the nearest large town, Alice Springs; 450 km (280 mi) by road. Kata Tjuta and Uluru are the two major features of the Uluru - Kata Tjuta National Park. Uluru is sacred to the Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara, the Aboriginal people of the area. It has many springs, waterholes, rock caves and ancient paintings. Uluru is listed as a World Heritage Site.
This is the other side of this rock

Balancing Rock in Arches National Park ain't got nothin' on this one.
It's big, it's balanced, and it looks like it could go over in the lightest of breezes.
The Rock Dove (Columba livia) or Rock Pigeon is a member of the bird family Columbidae (doves and pigeons). In common usage, this bird is often simply referred to as the "pigeon".
Like most isolated petroglyph rocks in Georgia, Sprayberry Rock is not in-situ. It was moved a hundred feet or so to accommodate a new bank building, in 1984.
There are three prehistoric feature types on the rock. Only one of these features can be associated with a time period. During the Late-Archaic Period (5,000-3,000 years B.P), steatite or soapstone outcrops were quarried to produce bowls and other vessels. Soapstone bowls were traded all over the eastern and mid-western U.S. In Georgia, the bowls were often carved with tools fashioned from diabase (a very hard volcanic rock from instusive dikes found from Atlanta eastward). There are at least seven soapstone bowl preforms or bowl scars ( where a bowl was actually made and removed) on the rock. One preform was in the later stages of completion when abandoned.
The last two prehistoric features can't necessarily be associated with the Late-Archaic Period. Cupules are a poorly understood feature. In some cases they appear to have a utilitarian purpose and are often referred to as nutting holes. In other cases one to several hundred cupules were placed on isolated rocks or outcrops and appear to have no apparent function. Seldom are they arranged in a recognizable pattern. Cupules that appear to have a utilitarian purpose are often on outcrops near streams. It is thought they were used in the processing of nuts and acorns. This activity probably occurred from the Archaic and well into the Woodland Peroid, and possibly later. In come cases, cupules are considered an art form. There are over a dozen cupules on Sprayberry Rock. Their meaning or use is unknown.
The third type of prehistoric feature on Sprayberry Rock is petroglyphs. This is considered an art from. There are at least three images of concentric circles concentrated on one end of the boulder. There are various interpretations on the meaning of concentric circles. It is impossible to determine at which point these circles are produced. If they are associated with the bowl quarrying they are quite old. Concentric circles appear on other isolated petroglyph rocks in Georgia.
I have never seen an archaeological report on Sprayberry Rock. I have no idea if artifacts were recovered before it was moved. For more information: www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/articles/history-archaeology/...
My "Rock Star" friends and I got together again to decorate "Happy Rocks" for a local festival. We place them under trees, on a bench, on a fencepost, etc. We've been doing it for 5-6 years now so folks look forward to it! Much fun! :)
- www.kevin-palmer.com - A storm approached Annapolis Rock just as it was getting dark. I had to rush to hike the 2.5 miles down the mountain to the car before getting drenched.
I want to give this a different background, but I used to use GIMP and I just bought Photoshop and it's a mystery to me...
