Stylolite in limestone in the Devonian of Ohio, USA. (cross-section view)
The structure seen here is a stylolite, a pressure dissolution feature that frequently has the appearance of a hospital EKG reading. These occur in many limestones, dolostones, and some marbles, especially in or near orogenic belts. The host rock here is limestone, a biogenic sedimentary rock composed of calcite (CaCO3 - calcium carbonate). Most limestones formed in ancient, warm, shallow ocean environments.
Stratigraphy: loose block derived from the Columbus Limestone, Middle Devonian
Locality: roadside barrier rock along Bookerman Road at Lafarge Kelleys Island Quarry, western Kelleys Island, western Lake Erie, far-northern Ohio, USA (41° 36' 11.01" North latitude, 82° 43' 15.94" West longitude)

The range between the smallest phase and the largest is another way to determine how noisy a pixel is.
In 1861 a plan was formed to construct a breakwater off Laggers Point to make Trial Bay a harbour of refuge for those ships too big to cross river mouths.[3] Further plans included the idea to use prison labour for the construction, with a prison established specifically for that purpose. In 1877 work on the gaol commenced and in 1886 it was proclaimed a prison and inmates moved there.
The breakwater they worked on was to extend some 1500 metres out into the bay, built from granite blocks quarried from the nearby hill. Heavy gales caused damage to the structure as it progressed over the years. In 1898 and 1899 new wings were built on the prison, suggesting work was intending to continue, but in 1903 it was abandoned. Apparently the prison was costly to run and didn't fit with ideas of penology of the time.
About 300 metres of breakwater had been built, and it had shoaled up the bay considerably. A wharf had been built inside the breakwater in 1898, not meant for public use, but which ended up used regularly by passenger ships which could not navigate the Macleay River mouth. Today only a small section of the breakwater remains, about 50 metres, and nothing of the wharf.
In 1915 the gaol was reopened to hold German wartime internees. Most were single men of some education and included officers of the German Army Reserve. A rumour went around in 1917 that a German landing party planned to free the men and when a German raider the SS Wolf was seen in 1918 the men were moved to the large camp at Holsworthy outside Sydney.
This was the last use made of the prison and it was stripped and fixtures sold off in 1922. Today it's open to the public, operated as a heritage site by the National Parks and Wildlife Service
Shortly after 2am Prospect Volunteers were dispatched for a structure fire at 64 Cook Rd. First arriving units found a fully involved car fire in the driveway which had extended to the corner of the house. Upon size up of the situation an engine and ladder from Cheshire and an additional tanker from Bethany were requested to the scene and an engine company from Waterbury to headquarters for coverage. With all the residents determined to be out of the house, crews quickly worked on extinguishing the car as others advanced lines through the front door to attack the fast moving structure fire. Fire vented through a partial roof collapse near the origin of the fire and from roof cuts made by the truck crews. The situation was declared under control approximately 45 minutes after dispatch. Investigation of the scene showed a threatening statement spray painted on the garage door near the origin of the fire and witness told police they saw someone fleeing the scene shortly after the fire was discovered. The Prospect Fire Marshal was on scene and in light of the evidence found the State Fire Marshal's Office was called to the scene for a full investigation of the fire.

On Scene at an early morning fire that badly damaged the club house at the Canaan Country Club located on High St. in North Canaan, Connecticut. Shortly after 4:30 am the North Canaan Fire Department was dispatched for a structure fire at the country club and first arriving units confirmed the fire to be through the roof. Mutual aid for tankers, engines and additional manpower was quickly dispatched from Lakeville and Falls Village,CT as well as Sheffield Massachusetts. Though the fire was brought under control after 40 minutes the structure sustained heavy damage. Additionally railroad traffic along the Housatonic line had to be held since water supply lines had to be stretched across the train tracks from hydrants located on Route 7. No injuries were reported as a result of the fire or the suppression effort.
A late night fire badly damaged a damaged an attatched garage and caused exposure damage to the dwelling to which it was attatched. Fire crews arrived to heavy fire which had completely engulfed the garage and was threatening the home as well as the house next door. Crews got several 2.5 inch lines running on the main fire as the truck company made entry into the home to search for victims and knock down any extension of the fire. The main fire was knocked down in about 25 minutes and it appeared that the garage took the bulk of the damage. Crews would remain on scene for an extended period for overhaul and to assist in the investigation of the fire. See the whole incident on my website www.onscenefirephoto.com
Completed in 1962, this Modern memorial structure was designed by Austrian-born architect Alfred Preis to memorialize those who died in the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, sitting above the remains of the USS Arizona, where 1,102 of the 1,177 victims of the attack were lost, remaining entombed within the ship. During World War II, the superstructure of the Arizona that remained above the waterline was mostly removed, with a flagpole being erected atop the sunken ship in 1950, with a temporary memorial being created above the remains of the deckhouse. In December of 1955, a ten-foot-tall basalt stone with a plaque was placed over the mid-ship deckhouse as a permanent memorial, while plans to build a larger memorial to those who died in the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor were approved by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1958. The concrete memorial, completed in 1962, is a 184-foot-long structure, which is tallest at the ends with an arch descending towards the center, featuring a geometric roof with seven openings on the top broken by horizontal ribs, and seven openings on the sides, an opening in the floor surrounded by a railing that allows visitors a view of the remains of the USS Arizona below, an entrance area with a low ceiling that creates a sense of compression when entering the memorial, with the assembly hall of the memorial and the shrine portion of the memorial at the opposite end from the entrance area have a “release” effect with higher and open ceilings. In the shrine, there are two openings featuring the “Tree of Life” sculpture flanking a marble-clad wall with the names of those killed in the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, with the marble wall being especially sensitive to the humid and salty air of the site, necessitating its replacement twice - in 1984 and 2014. The entire memorial structure cantilevers over the USS Arizona below, hovering above the ship, but not touching it. The memorial was subsequently listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966, and the USS Arizona itself was listed as a National Historic Landmark in 1989, though the memorial does not share the same status or National Register listing. The memorial sits as a major landmark in Hawaii and has been visited by every sitting United States president since its opening, with presidents presenting a wreath and scattering flowers in the waters above the USS Arizona in honor of those who died in on December 7, 1941. In 2016, the memorial was visited by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, whom paid his respects to those who had died in the attack, the first Japanese prime minister to do so, serving as a gesture of reconciliation between the two nations 75 years after the attack. Today, the memorial is run jointly by the United States Navy and National Park Service, and sees more than one million visitors every year.
