Porta Nigra is the oldest defensive structure in Germany erected in the 2nd century AD when the newly conquered Roman city was surrounded by walls. The Porta Nigra is the only one of the four gates that still stands in Trier. The others were pillaged for their stone and iron. It survived because it was used as a humble residence of a hermit monk called Simeon for 7 years and in the 12th century the structure was made into a church - St Simeon). Napoleon destroyed the church in 1803 but the 12th century apse survived. The entire structure is made without mortar and the sandstone blocks are connected by iron rods. It is called Porta Nigra because of it's weathered bricks.
Cone-in-cone limestone bed, composed of finely fibrous calcite. This weathered sample is likely derived from an interbed in the Ohio Shale outcrop belt (Frasnian-Famennian, Upper Devonian) of central Ohio, USA.
Cone-in-cone structures are strange features found as interbeds in fine-grained siliciclastic rocks and sometimes found in the outer layers of concretions. They consist of sets of conical structures stacked up within each other. Mineralogically, they are often composed of finely-crystalline fibrous calcite. Numerous hypotheses have been proposed over the years that try to explain cone-in-cone structures. None has emerged as the most popular or most likely (see Lugli et al., 2005 for a long list of proposed formation mechanisms). These structures remain a mystery.

in.it.studios are a creative company which design, manufacture and install the very best in contemporary garden rooms and studios.
Experience the natural transition of stepping into the studio. The soft materials against the surrounding garden, frameless glass facades and unnoticeable doorway blend the spaces together creating a place for contemplation and relaxation.
The green roof consists of the same materials and membranes as the standard roof system but with an additional vapour barrier and filtration system along with the sedum planting. There are several advantages of using a green roof, not only aesthetics but also added sound and heat insulation and many sustainable benefits. The sedum is practically zero maintenance and is incredibly durable, living for weeks without rain or light.
Natural habitat. The garden environment is reflected in the studios design. The natural woods and green roof allow the studio to blend in with its surroundings, or if you prefer, let the studio stand out with its contemporary image and clean lines.
Have a closer look to see why our studio sets us apart from anyone else. Every detail, material and finish is ensured to be of the best quality and made by our highly skilled and experienced craftsman, working in our own workshop. Our in-house manufacturing facility enables us to control the studio from inception to completion, maintaining all aspects of the structure.
Leadenhall Building - The Cheesegrater - London UK - Architects Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners - 2010-2014
The Leadenhall building, with a height of 224 metres, is the tallest office block in the City of London. It is best known for its tapered profile that pulls back to respect views of St Paul's Cathedral, and which also earned it its nickname. The Leadenhall was designed by Richard Rogers' firm for a site beside the architect's celebrated Lloyds Building and, like that structure, the tower expresses its entire framework on the exterior. The building's visible framework is made up of a series of constituent parts. Instead of a structural core, a full-perimeter structure, known as a braced tube, defines the edges of each office floor plate to give the facade its most visible element. These elements break the building down into seven-storey modules. Other distinguishable features include the ladder frames that enclose the fire-fighting cores and a circulation tower that runs up the northern side of the building. The triple-glazed facades make use of 70,000 square metres of glass. Blinds were installed in the cavity between the two inner layers of glazing, and these adjust automatically to protect the interiors from glare and overheating. Every floor inside the building is rectangular, getting gradually smaller towards the top. This allows for flexible internal layouts. The base of the tower features a seven-storey-high public space filled with shops and restaurants. It will feature a pocket park on one side, a public exhibition area and a thoroughfare running north to south. The ground level public space, which includes escalators offering direct access into the building itself, is one of the largest reception areas the City has ever seen. At once generous and welcoming, it offers a seamless transition from the street into the building, and makes a positive contribution to the life of the City; creating a major new hub and meeting place for people living and working in the Square Mile.

Neighbors noticed the two car detached garage at 105 Davis Rd to be going good so they made the call to the Seymour Volunteers. When the tones dropped an automatic mutual aid was requested from the Town of Oxford for a ladder truck as Seymour's was out of service. The fire crews arrived to a fully involved garage fire which was spreading to the exposed section of the 1.5 story wood dwelling which was in close proximity. Fire had extended into the first floor as well as the attic space but quick work from the responders kept the fire from engulfing the dwelling as well. Searchs of the home were negative but the owner was still unaccounted for. As marshals dug throught the rubble which was once the garage in hopes of determining the origin of the fire they made the discovery of human remains amongst the ashes and charred wood. The body which was badly burned was taken by the medical examiners office so an autopsy might reveal the identity of the deceased.
So these are some rocks stacked on top of each other, I think there a little weird and I'm surprised no ones tried to knock them over

A representative soil profile of a Cumulic Hapludoll. (Kentucky Soil Atlas; by Anastasios D. Karathanasis, University of Kentucky)
Cumulic Hapludolls have an overthickened mollic epipedon (60 cm or more thick). The mollic epipedon is a relatively thick, dark colored, humus-rich surface horizon (or horizons) in which bivalent cations are dominant on the exchange complex and the grade of structure is weak to strong. These properties are common in the soils of the steppes in the Americas, Europe, and Asia.
These soils are at the base of slopes or on flood plains, where they receive fresh sediments at a rate slow enough for the material to become incorporated into the mollic epipedon. These soils are permitted, but not required, to have a cambic horizon. They may be calcareous throughout their thickness. Slopes are gentle and are mostly plane or concave. These soils are of large extent and are widely distributed in the United States. Many of the soils supported tall grasses, but some supported trees and shrubs. Most are used as cropland.
