CAL FIRE/Placer County Fire Department assisted Placer Hills Fire Protection District with a structure fire on Ponderosa Lane Auburn February 2023.
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
This amazing glass couture piece Structures of Self was recently modeled by one of the collaborating artists during the new Beakerhead festival of science, art and engineering. The idea to collaborate on an a photoshoot that paired the alien/bug like garment with the 40 foot RayGun Gothic Rocketship during the setting sun, made for some pretty creative images

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.
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.
This was a fun garden structure to create. It also has an amazing view overlooking a private golf course in Toronto. The fabric ceiling is retractable and provides some protection from the rain and sun. Endless detail to this structure. This garden structure was crafted in the Toronto area.

The exact purpose of these small buildings is unknown, but after contacting the Senior Warden at Holkham National Nature Reserve he told me......
''Those structures were Bunkers used as part of a World War Two Training Ground for Commandos. I actually knew an 'old boy' who lived in Burnham Market up until he died as an old man in the early 2000's. He did a lot of his Commando Training there in the war''.
(Thank you Andy Bloomfield, Senior Warden Holkham NNR)
Around fifty Military Structures were built in the area of TF-8497 4564 to TF-8595 4563, these Structures vary in size from approximately 16ft to 49ft in length. These Buildings would appear to be some kind of World War Two Complex, probably for Practice or Training purposes. They were located at the northern edge of the saltmarsh close to 'Gun Hill' they also included Nissen Huts, Flat Roofed Concrete Structures and possibly a Pillbox, The Structures were removed post-war, I believe these small remaining Structures were probably part of that Complex.
The beginnings of a ''Raiding Force''......
In 1940 Prime Minister Winston Churchill, called for the creation of a small 'Raiding Force' in order to disrupt the Wehrmacht and boost British Morale. Lieutenant Colonel Dudley Clarke proposed a Force loosely based on the tactics of the Boer Commandos. Initially these new 'Commandos Units' were made up of soldiers from British Army Regiments, however in 1942 many Royal Marines Battalions were reorganised into Commandos, they were also supplemented by members of the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force.
In 1940 Achnacarry Castle, the ancestral seat of Sir Donald Walter Cameron of Lochiel, was brought into use as part of the new Training and Holding Wing for the Special Training Centre Lochailort. Due to the imminent closing of STC Lochailort and the realisation that a Centralised Training Establishment was needed to train the potential Commandos, Brigadier Charles Haydon established the Commando Depot in December of 1941. Prior to this each individual Commando Unit was responsible for the training of Commando Personnel. In early 1942 this was redesigned as the Commando Basic Training Centre, and, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Charles Vaughan, the first prospective Commandos arrived to complete the centralised course. It then came under the authority of the Special Service Brigade. By this time a Drill Square had been laid down and pasture within the vicinity of the house had been replaced by asphalt. Nissen Huts now stood within the grounds around the Drill Square. These Huts contained accommodation for Men, housing between 25 and 40, dining halls, and washing rooms. Due to the secret nature of this training, the British Government prevented people from visiting much of Lochaber by preventing the crossing of non-residents over the Caledonian Canal.
The Commando Basic Training Centre trained both British Commandos and Foreign Nationals from occupied countries such as France, Greece, Norway and Poland as well as some Germans, part of No.10 (Inter-Allied) Commando, who were designated 'free Germans'. Contingents from the newly formed United States Army Rangers were also trained there. In 1946 after the War had come to the end it was decided a significant Commando capability was not needed in peacetime and the Commando Basic Training Centre at Achnacarry was disbanded. Between 1942 and 1946 over 25,000 Personnel were trained at Achnacarry and it is widely believed that it was the birthplace of modern 'Special Forces'. The 'Commando Memorial' a memorial to all Commandos of World War Two, now stands overlooking the Training Grounds at Achnacarry on a point that all potential Commandos would have passed on the way to Commando Basic Training Centre from the Spean Bridge railway station.
The prospective Commando arrived at the Spean Bridge railway station and marched 7 miles to Achnacarry where they began their Training, Officers, and their Men training side by side. Training for a prospective Commando consisted of an intensive regime of physical fitness and instruction in Survival, Orienteering and Vehicle Operation. This was alongside instruction on different Weapons Systems, Demolition Skills, Close-Quarter Combat as well as Amphibious and Cliff Assault. Any prospective Commando who failed to meet the standard was returned to their parent unit. The training was conducted with 'Live Rounds' in order to simulate battle as effectively as possible. This realistic training led to the deaths of a number of trainees. In 1943 the focus of the Commando Training shifted to more conventional methods of Warfare.

Water control structures are used in North Carolina to manage the dpeth of the ground water in fields in eastern North Carolina. By manipulating the depth of the water table, farmers can promote the denitrification as a means of protecting water quality
Another abandoned structure I found while out exploring today. There used to be an old decrepit (but lovely) farm house on this property but alas it burned down a couple years ago.
Located just outside of Augusta Missouri on private property. Please respect others property... take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints.
