Impact breccia in the Precambrian of Ontario, Canada.
This outcrop consists of a clast-rich impact pseudotachylite. This is the Sudbury Breccia, which formed during one of the largest impact events in Earth history. The Sudbury Impact Structure is located in southeastern Ontario. It is ovoid in shape, about 37 miles long by 19 miles wide, but it was originally ~circular, having been laterally compressed by tectonic deformation. Before erosion and structural deformation, the structure may have been between 60 and 120 miles across. The impacting object is estimated to have been about 6 miles in size. The impact event itself occurred at 1.85 billion years ago. At that time, this part of Ontario was ocean. Computer modeling indicates that the splash wave generated by the Sudbury Impact may have reached about 30 miles high and generated a ~300 feet high megatsunami that radiated away from the target area for up to ~1800 miles. The impact punched a hole down into underlying mantle rocks.
Abundant evidence indicates that the Sudbury, Ontario area was indeed the site of an impact long ago. This includes impact breccias, shattercones, and extensive syn-formational sulfide mineralization. The sulfides are rich enough for mining to occur. In fact, the Sudbury Mining District targets the # 1 most productive nickel deposit on Earth.
At this outcrop, the clasts in the Sudbury Breccia are principally pieces of Cartier Granite and gneiss. The Cartier Granite is a 2.6 billion year old igneous intrusion. The dark-colored matrix is cryptocrystalline impact pseudotachylite, which formed by melting and rapid cooling.

Some extension into the woods, defensive operations on an abandoned structure.
Project here was to capture somewhat of a sharp image of the flame structure.
This has taken some practice. And it didn't help either with massive gusts of wind.
This is with the "Nifty Fifty" lens.
Another view of this strange building, standing so close and looking up made me loose my balance a little. Funny for onlookers I guess.
Malmö's oddest building.

Belém Tower (in Portuguese Torre de Belém) or the Tower of St Vincent is a fortified tower located in the Belém district of Lisbon, Portugal. It is an UNESCO World Heritage Site because of the significant role it played in the Portuguese maritime discoveries of the era of the Age of Discoveries. The tower was commissioned by King John II to be both part of a defense system at the mouth of the Tagus River and a ceremonial gateway to Lisbon.
The tower was built in the early 16th century and is a prominent example of the Portuguese Manueline style, but it also incorporates hints of other architectural styles. The structure was built from lioz limestone and is composed of a bastion and the 30 meter, four story tower. It has incorrectly been stated that the tower was built in the middle of the Tagus and now sits near the shore because the river was redirected after the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. In fact, the tower was built on a small island in the Tagus River near the Lisbon shore.

Just after 730am tones were sounded for Northfield Fire along with mutual aid from East Litchfield, Litchfield, and Thomaston Fire for smoke coming from the second floor and roof across from 13 Main St. The firstarriving unit reported a working fire and requested a RIT team from the Town of Watertown A water supply was established using a portable pond and tankers. Crews entered the recently vacated home and attempted to locate the source of the fire on the second floor and attic space of the structure. While the interior crews worked to find the seat of the fire he roof was laddered and the roof crews made 2 cuts to ventilate the structure through the roof. After about 40 minutes the situation was brought under control and crews would remain on scene for exensive overhaul operations. There were no civilian or fire fighter injuries reported and the cause of the fire remains under investigation at the time.
