A study in severe angles as Derby's latest architectural showpiece forms a backdrop to a waiting Dennis Dart SLF cascaded from the Trent Barton parent fleet to its Notts & Derby offshoot.
365 Days
For best viewing, press L.
One day, I'll really figure out what number this is, and how many I am behind. =P
Click here for the blog entry I posted regarding this photo. (And randomness. Always randomness involved.)
Tilted layers of the Furnace Creek Formation have been eroded flat across the top, and more recent horizontal deposits of sand and gravel have since been laid on top of this old erosion surface.
taken today in NYC. madison square park, the gilsey house, 2 near penn station and the king kong statue.
Angular, urban forms.
4 minute exposure onto Ilford MGIV RC Satin in a homemade panoramic pinhole camera. Probably could have been shorter.
Fun with the super wide angle lens for distortion, this got some pretty funny reactions while we were taking the photos
A bit of a different view of Stillwell Hall on Mason St. along Crissy Field in the Presidio. The barracks building has, as far as I can determine, been abandoned at least since the army left the Presidio in 1994. The building looks OK from a distance, but is in considerable disrepair up close. Several windows are broken, and there are some pretty considerable cracks in the exterior. I noticed what seemed to be some sort of monitoring equipment attached around some of the cracks, presumably to identify any further damage occurring. The building seems to be mostly empty, but several windows still have curtains or blinds. I got this one after sneaking around back. I've walked by several times, but never thought to check it out from the back. Theres a couple small courtyard type areas that are sorta interesting. I found this in one of them. I'd love to get inside of some of these buildings...
Permian Red Sandstone Cliffs, Dawlish
These colourful outcrops along the Dawlish Coast, easily visible from the train, provide a reminder of when Britain lay closer to the equator and much of the country as we now know it was a desert! A stunning exposure of the New Red Sandstone, easily accessible by public transport and the South West Coast Path, the cliffs are formed from aeolian (wind-blown) sand which was laid down in a desert in a continental interior in the Permian Period roughly 250 million years ago.
Dawlish CliffsThe cliffs began as windblown, oxidized red desert sands laid down as dunes: many of the exposures show beautiful dune cross bedding. Interbedded with the dune sandstones are beds of angular pebbles laid down by repeated flash floods during wetter periods.
Dawlish Cliffs are an essential site for understanding the processes through which aeolian sediments are laid down. Normally deposits in cliffs like those at Dawlish represent sediment deposition over thousands of years but here, in the very dynamic desert environment of the Permian, the cliff deposits may have been deposited within a few tens or hundreds of years.
