One of the several new agates I found in the Doebbler caliche pits on March 9, 2008. It has anglular shapes which may indicate it formed between crystals or brecciated rock, such as limestone.
Kodachrome Basin is a state park of Utah, USA. It is situated 5,800 feet (1,767.8 m) above sea level, 12 miles (19 km) south of Utah Route 12, and 20 miles (32 km) southeast of Bryce Canyon National Park. It is accessible from the north from Cannonville by a paved road and from the south by Road 400, a dirt road from the Page, Arizona area to Cannonville, passable for most vehicles in dry conditions. A longer but paved route to Tropic from the south is also available via US-89 and SR-12.
Differing geological explanations of the features in the park Kodachrome Basin State Park exist. One explanation is that the area was once similar to Yellowstone National Park with hot springs and geysers, which eventually filled up with sediment and solidified. Through time, the Entrada sandstone surrounding the solidified geysers eroded, leaving large sand pipes. Sixty-seven sand pipes ranging from two to 52 meters have been identified in the park.
While others suggest these sandstone spires are the result of sandstone intrusions which were created as a result of the tectonic activity in the Plio-Pleistocene time, the time of the uplift of the surrounding plateaus. Indications for this model include the concentric vertical ring structure of the columns themselves where each of the three vertical rings of sandstone, central, inner, and outer, can be traced and matched to a distinct sedimentary formation below. Also the truncation of two of the structures, at Shepherd's Point, by Pleistocene sheet conglomerates, and other intrusions which pierce through Pleistocene river deposited conglomerates place the intrusion event in the Pleistocene. The river conglomerates are truncated by the sheet conglomerates. Sheet conglomerates are usually caused by major seismic activity. There are also quite large well-rounded clasts, ranging in size from 2.5 centimeters and greater, found along the outer layer of the sandstone spires which are from the Pleistocene river conglomerates. Smaller less rounded, more angular clasts, about a centimeter or less in width, are also found and are from the red claystones layers found in the intruded sandstones. These clearly indicate that the pierced formations were well lithified. Additionally, the area has large masses of sandstone dikes. The spires have no evidence of a chaotic, mixing flow regime, rather they indicate a laminar flow not suggestive of hot springs or geysers. The outer surface is highly lithified, but within a few millimeters, the sandstone is quite friable.
The primary argument against an intrusion event is the liquified state required for the seismic intrusions. The source sediments are Jurassic in age, therefore, it is argued, to have been lithified and unable to be liquified. But there are intrusive dikes which show liquification did occur. And the hardened red claystone layers, which are pierced, were fairly consolidated at time of the intrusion event, therefore, they required tremendous pressure in order to be pierced. Seismic pressure waves would provide such pressure. The fracturing of the claystones also suggest that the intrusive sandstones were point sources able to concentrate the fluid pressure to a small area of the overlaying rock. It is also noted that the intrusions cleanly sheared the claystones so that the concentric edge of the claystone abuts cleanly against the spires.
Evidence near the park suggests that Native Americans were the first to wander through the area. Around the turn of the 20th century, cattlemen from Cannonville and Henrieville used the basin as a winter pasture. In 1948 the National Geographic Society explored and photographed the area for a story that appeared in the September 1949 issue of National Geographic. They named the area Kodachrome Flat, after the then relatively new brand of Kodak film they used. In 1962 the area was designated a state park. Fearing repercussions from the Kodak film company for using the name Kodachrome, the name was changed to Chimney Rock State Park, but renamed Kodachrome Basin a few years later with Kodak's permission.
Primary recreational activities in Kodachrome Basin State Park include photography, wildlife watching, camping, and hiking the park's several trails. Popular sites include Chimney Rock, Shakespeare Arch, and Ballerina Geyser. Stargazing is popular as the park sees little light pollution. Grosvenor Arch, an intricate double arch located ten miles south east of the park in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is a popular destination for many visitors. Kodachrome Basin State Park has 27 campsites, two of which are group sites as well as available showers.

The first time I got up close and personal with an F117 Stealth Fighter at one of the Mildenhall Air Fetes ( year? ) I remember the armed sentries around it that were looking menacing....

No tradename is known for this egyptian/antique face. Nicolette Gray attributes it to the Marr TF in c1853.¹ Oddly enough, she cites no catalogs issued between 1843 and 1860; perhaps an interim specimen was available to her research.
The temporary tradename is drawn from apt text selected for a specimen shown by the Johnson TF ≤1867.²
This face is not the earliest-known example of a three-dimensional "beveled" type design. On the contrary, Kelly writes that a sans-serif one tradenamed Octagon# (Solotype Wood Type Nugget#²) was shown in 1838 by George Nesbitt.
Nesbitt, a New York printer, was the sales agent for wood types produced by Edwin Allen (Windham, CT), apparently the only supplier he represented. Kelly adds that "the design is believed to have originated in France."⁴

²The date 1867 is deduced from the stereotyped(?) specimen published by MSJ in July 1869, which is imprinted L. Johnson & Company while other pages are marked MacKellar, Smiths & Jordan. According to Annenberg [164], “Lawrence Johnson died on April 26, 1860, but the firm continued to operate and distribute type catalogs with his name until 1867.”

Spencer Amphibian Air Car Model S-12-E with a 285 hp (213 kW) Continental Tiara 6-285. The Air Car is built from wood, steel and glass-fibre. It has a strut-braced high wing and the cabin and fuel-carrying floats are similar to the Seabee, but the tail unit is more angular and a retractable tricycle undercarriage is fitted.
Tilted Miocene hemipelagic-pelagic mud-siltrock cut by a subaerial erosion surface and overlain with recent Pleistocene-Holocene horizontal fluvial-aluvial conglomerate-sandstone.

this didn't go exactly as i had planned. i didnt want to be able to see the trampoline in the picture at all, but oh well.

390xxx, Leighton Buzzard, 12.08.2012.
Now I'm not the biggest fan of Pendolinos, but I am beginning to appreciate that they can produce a nice photo, if you go about it the right way. Here, a London-bound Virgin Trains Pendolino leans into the curve, as it exits Linslade Tunnel and approaches Leighton Buzzard station. Line speed here was 80mph for many years, but is now 125mph.
The train is missing the front cover that hides the Dellner coupling.
A new one for me. This paused only briefly. Not a great trip for butterflies due to some unseasonably cool weather, though pleasant for humans.
