After my trip to the Arctic, where I never did get to see the aurora, this was a very rewarding event. In spite of the hordes of black flies which might as well have eaten me alive, I was truly happy with what I had documented, all in the window of just half an hour!
Ford Mustangs certainly seem to have come full circle in recent years, with the newer GT models harping back to the original days of the classic Ford Mustang Fastback of 1968, a design that was lost during the 1970's and 80's when the car looked much more mundane and angular.

Weathered-out quartz pebbles from conglomerate in the Pennsylvanian of Ohio, USA. (geology hammer for scale)
This outcrop in southern Ohio exposes the lowermost Pottsville Group, a Pennsylvanian-aged, cyclothemic succession in eastern Ohio that contains nonmarine shales, marine shales, siltstones, sandstones, coals, marine limestones, and chert ("flint"). The lower Pottsville dates to the late Early Pennsylvanian. The upper part dates to the early Middle Pennsylvanian. The Lower-Middle Pennsylvanian boundary is apparently somewhere near the Boggs Member (?).
At this site, the basal Pottsville is a spectacular quartz-pebble conglomerate, with a quartzose sandstone unit above it, plus coal and shale above that. The latter two units are visible, but not easily accessible for examination.
In eastern and northeastern Ohio, the conglomeratic base of the Pottsville Group is called the Sharon Conglomerate (a.k.a. Sharon Sandstone; Sharon Formation; Sharon Member). The literature points out that the Sharon elsewhere in Ohio is not directly correlatable with the conglomerate exposed at this site near Jackson, Ohio. Thus, it has been suggested that the unit at this locality be referred to as the "Sharon" Conglomerate.
Here, the rocks are generally massive (= non-bedded) quartz-pebble conglomerates. Other clast lithologies and sizes are also present, including angular shale clasts, angular sandstone clasts (both derived from erosion of the underlying Logan Formation of Early Mississippian age), rounded to irregularly-shaped ironstone clasts, rounded quartz sandstone pebbles, rounded quartzite pebbles, and rounded silicified limestone pebbles. A very unusual clast type present at this outcrop is ferruginous, pyrite-cemented and hematite-cemented, quartz-pebble conglomerate (= conglomerate in conglomerate ! ).
In this photo, the two whitish pebbles at the center & at left are composed of white vein quartz (= bull quartz). The cracked-open, grayish-colored pebble is composed of quartzite (a quartzose, crystalline-textured metamorphic rock produced by intense alteration of sandstone).

Locality: Jackson North Outcrop - roadcut along the southwestern side of Rt. 35, immediately southeast of the Rt. 35-Lloyds Bridge Road intersection (the northwestern intersection - there are two of them), north of the town of Jackson, northwest-central Jackson County, southern Ohio, USA (39° 06’ 32.94” North latitude, 82° 40’ 39.99” West longitude)
A Tri-colored Heron gives me every opportunity to get a decent shot as he hunts on Horsepen Bayou.
This particular heron gave me every opportunity to take photos as he ran here and there trying to catch some fish. He was very difficult to track as he moved so quickly at times. Hope you'll don't get bored with all of the shots.

Not much in the way of post-production was needed here; the subject itself has a very strange perspective feel to it, which I managed to capture decently in the shot.
More to come in this series
• Dimensiones: ancho de 90 cm - alto 195 cm.
• Mampara en vidrio templado de 8 mm (6 mm si es clarglass).
• Toallero y tirador incorporado.
For those who like geometric forms. The bridge railing points directly to the crest of the first falls at Corbett's Glen. I don't know why I never took this shot before. It's kind of interesting. Allen's Creek makes and abrupt left turn as it goes under the bridge.
Clarion Hotel in Gothenburg again. I like this angle more. And black and white.. it looks pretty good!

Pues hice muchos intentos de asi como tratar de sacar una foto de esta cosa, pero todas salian o aca borrosas, o con el enfoque aca raro, la unica que medio paso fue esta, pero aun asi ni me gusto.
De perdis asi con el efecto negativo, pues de perdis se ve rara.
Continuous freehand cutting is a style of puzzle cutting is from the 1920's. This creates two large complementary maze-like 'ribbons', which fit together and interlock, which can each then be cut across to separate off the individual pieces. This example shows a puzzle blank which has been cut in two - one half is then maze-cut (producing two complementary interlocking ribbons). Perhaps this was a demonstration piece or teaching aid. The artwork is a Pears illustration, painted by Arthur Ellesley.
In his talk, author Geert Bekkering identified this method in Dutch and German jigsaws, which he called 'long line angular/rounded'. He believes that the Expert-style jigsaws were produced by this method.
You can see Dee Rogers of Platinum Puzzles cutting in this style, and Bob Armstrong has a page where several cutters styles are analysed and include maze-cutting (Melinda and Conrad Armstrong).

Finale Ligure, Liguria, Italy, Castelfranco
------------------------------------------
In Finalmarina wurde um das von Genua 1365 errichtete mittelalterliche Castelfranco eine Reihe von mächtigen Festungsanlagen gebaut, die das Meer von den Höhen Gòttaros aus überwachten.
Das ursprüngliche Bauwerk stammt aus der Zeit um 1365, als die Republik Genua eine Festungsanlage errichtete, um Finale zu kontrollieren und ihre Macht gegenüber den Markgrafen Del Carretto zu behaupten. Im 17. Jahrhundert machten die Spanier Finale zu einer militärischen Festung und errichteten eine Reihe mächtiger Befestigungsanlagen um Castelfranco, die 1715 von Genua abgerissen wurden. Im 19. Jahrhundert wurde es in ein Gefängnis umgewandelt und nahm während des Ersten Weltkriegs Gefangene der österreichisch-ungarischen Armee auf.
----------------------------------------
The Republic of Genoa around 1365 built a castle to domain over the Ripa maris below, Finalmarina, so to control Finale and to limit the power of the Carretto marquises. The name of the castle originates from the fact that it wasn’t subject to the control of the local lords and did not have to pay them tributes.
On the beach at its feet there had been for some time active dockyards that produced also large ships for Mediterranean navigation.
Moreover, in the same area the church of San Fruttuoso rose, belonging to the Cavalieri di San Giovanni (Knights of St. John), and was destined to host the pilgrims on their way to the Holy Land.
The medieval fortification can still be recognised in the central polygonal tower that was then incorporated within the Spanish fortress.
During the second half of the 16th century Castelfranco went through demolitions, reconstructions and frequent occupations by Genoa, both the Spanish and Imperial armies becoming the residence of the royal commissioners. In the end, in 1602, after the death without heirs of Sforza Andrea Del Carretto the last marquis, Finale was occupied by the Spanish crown and became the “Puerta a la mar” of the duchy of Milan.
In the Spanish period (1602-1707) the medieval nucleus was transformed more than once and surrounded by modern fortifications with large bastions. Between 1642-1645 on the ridge above Castelfranco the forts of Sant’Antonio and of the Annunziata were built and linked by a covered road. In 1647 a warehouse for ammunitions and four large barracks were built for the troops that disembarked in Finale.
In 1674-77 Gaspare Beretta and his helper Serena reinforced the Fort of the Annunziata and built new defences on the sea with a ravelin that protected the access to the fortress.
Lastly, around 1680 in the highest part of Gòttero the Legnino Fort was built with large angular bastions.
At the end of the Spanish war of succession (1701-1713) Genoa bought Finale and a few years later started the demolition of the 17th century fortifications and only Castelfranco was spared from destruction.
The fortress was transformed into a prison and during the First world war it hosted the Austro-Hungarian prisoners, most of which died during the Spanish flu epidemic in 1918-19.
The fortress of Castelfranco currently hosts the Centro di Documentazione Multimediale Storico Territoriale (Multimedia Historic Territorial Documentation centre) with didactic apparatus and multimedia workstations with the reproduction of historical maps, with ancient photographs and postcards dating from the end of the 19th century and a section dedicated to the history of the Piaggio aviation industry that was active in Finalmarina from 1906 until a few years ago.
