"I spent my life folded between the pages of books.
In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction."

Several ponds and lakes occur along the North Fork of the Licking River, between the towns of Newark and St. Louisville in Licking County, Ohio. These bodies of water are artificial - they are filling old gravel mines. Only one bedrock mine still operates in Licking County, plus active gravel mining.
This gravel mine is the St. Louisville Facility, owned by Shelly Materials. The company started in 1946 and has mines/quarries in 77 out of Ohio's 88 counties. This site has a sand and gravel operation, plus an asphalt plant. Mining here started in the 1980s. It is currently a wet mine - a dredging operation. Machinery extracts sand and gravel from 60 to 70 feet below the visible water surface in the ponds. The sediments are sorted into piles of sand and larger grains, including landscaping gravel. I've been told that this site produced 770,000 tons of gravel back in 2004, sold at about four American dollars per ton.
The southern and eastern edges of the mine expose a modern soil developed directly atop the sand-gravel deposit. The deposit itself is not really well-sorted overall - it's mostly a mix of sand and finer-grained gravel (pebbles). There are discrete intervals of sand interbedded with gravel-rich horizons. The deposit includes cobbles. This material is a glacial outwash deposit of Late Pleistocene age. It was deposited as the Wisconsinan Ice Sheet melted. Glaciers are more than just ice - considerable volumes of sediments are mixed in. Upon melting, the sediments get washed out. The valley containing the North Fork of the Licking River is mostly buried and filled with such glacial outwash. According to the glacial map of Ohio produced by the Ohio Geological Survey, the glacial outwash at this site is 15,000 to 18,000 years old.
The glacial outwash clasts include a wide variety of lithologies. Some have been eroded from local and near-local Ohio bedrock (e.g., Mississippian siliciclastics). Some clasts are derived from Precambrian bedrock in Canada. One distinctive clast lithology I've seen here is metatillite from the Paleoproterozoic Gowganda Formation. These metatillites are slightly metamorphosed, ancient glacial till deposits (coarse-grained, poorly-sorted, non-bedded). Such rocks are intriguing - they represent two Ice Ages in one sample: a 2.3 billion year old Ice Age deposit represented as a clast in a 15,000 to 18,000 year old Ice Age deposit.
The slanted layering in the picture is cross-bedding, which forms in a one-directional current by wind or water. In this case, it was water in glacial meltwater streams.

All Saints, Kesgrave, Ipswich, Suffolk
Until well into the 20th Century, Kesgrave was just a quiet little village off the road between London and Yarmouth. At the 1851 census, when rural populations in East Anglia were reaching their peak, it was home to just 86 people. The tiny church of All Saints was perfectly large enough to serve such a population, and although it underwent a considerable restoration there was no need to enlarge it.
Today, more than ten thousand people live in Kesgrave, and the Borough of Ipswich has reached out to engulf it. You leave the centre of town on Woodbridge Road, which quickly becomes Ipswich's longest, dullest, straightest road. After about four miles it changes its name to Main Street as it enters Kesgrave, and continues its relentless passage eastwards. Two lovely moments punctuate this mundanity, both churches, and the first of them is All Saints.
This must have been a very small church indeed before 1980, and the grand north porch must have quite overwhelmed it. The late medieval redbrick tower is one of several similar in this area, and again appears overgrand for the little nave. The buttressing is curious, as though the tower and nave had to be joined together at some point. You step through the porch, which is as high and almost as long as the church, into the north side of the former nave. The former chancel to your left is screened off to create a space for private prayer. Inside the door sits the 19th Century font, removed here from its former awkward space towards the tower. Unusually, it is signed by the workshop that made it, Smyth, Woodbridge
However, all of this is barely noticable, for ahead of you is one of the most splendid modern liturgical spaces in Suffolk. It is large and square, completely altering the expected dynamic, and moving the focus quite away from the former chancel. Wooden archbraces stretch from east to west, almost in the manner of an upturned boat, and the chairs focus on an altar placed centrally against the east wall of the extension. The whole piece is imaginative and articulate. It would have been easy, for instance, to simply place the new altar against the south wall, in the manner of a traditional church. However, here it is both unified with the former chancel, and surrounded in the approved Vatican II manner.
The architect was Derek Woodley, from Felixstowe. He is not well-known, but his work here deserves praise and recognition. He was also responsible for the fine entrance area at Kirton, and the restrained restoration of Iken after the dreadful fire. The furnishings, the needlework reredos, the glass and wood are all exquisitely done. The embroiderer was the Suffolk artist Isobel Clover, whose work is more familiar from Catholic churches, such as that up the road at Holy Family.
The extension dates from 1980, but even if it had not been required by the rapidly expanding population, major work was necessary to prevent the collapse of the former south wall. The cross beams from the extension are, in fact, holding up the old church. To the west of the new extension are church offices, and, that blessing in a medieval parish church, lavatories. On the west wall in a case are a pair of medieval sheep-shearing scissors, found when the extension was built, a reminder that Kesgrave has not always been underpasses and supermarkets.
This is a busy, successful building, where the congregation is growing again after a period of decline. I expect that the extension and consequent reorientation give a few other parishes pause for thought.

Caen Hill Locks on Kennet and Avon Canal, Devizes, Wiltshire.
Caen Hill Locks are a flight of locks on the Kennet and Avon Canal, between Rowde and Devizes in Wiltshire England.
The 29 locks have a rise of 237 feet in 2 miles (72 m in 3.2 km) or a 1 in 44 gradient. The locks come in three groups. The lower seven locks, Foxhangers Wharf Lock to Foxhangers Bridge Lock, are spread over 1.2 km. The next sixteen locks form a steep flight in a straight line up the hillside. Because of the steepness of the terrain, the pounds between these locks are very short. As a result, 15 locks have unusually large sideways-extended pounds, to store the water needed to operate them. A final six locks take the canal into Devizes.
This flight of locks was engineer John Rennie's solution to climbing the very steep hill, and was the last part of the 87 mile route of the canal to be completed. Whilst the locks were under construction a tramroad provided a link between the canal at Foxhangers to Devizes, the remains of which can be seen in the towpath arches in the road bridges over the canal. A brickyard was dug to the south of the workings to manufacture the bricks for the lock chambers and this remained in commercial use until the middle of the 20th century.
Because a large volume of water is needed for the locks to operate, a back pump was installed at Foxhangers in 1996 capable of returning 32 million litres of water per day to the top of the flight, which is equivalent to one lockful every eleven minutes.
In the early 19th century, 1829–43, the flight was lit by gas lights.
The locks take 5–6 hours to travel in a boat and lock 41 is the narrowest on the canal.

In the U.S. state of Utah, U.S. Route 89 (US-89) is a long north–south state highway spanning more than 502 miles (807.891 km) through the central part of the state. Between Provo and Brigham City, US-89 serves as a local road, paralleling (and occasionally concurring with) Interstate 15, but the portions from Arizona north to Provo and Brigham City northeast to Wyoming serve separate corridors. The former provides access to several national parks and Arizona, and the latter connects I-15 with Logan, the state's only Metropolitan Statistical Area not on the Interstate.
When US-89 was established in the state in 1926, the road initially extended north to US-91 in Spanish Fork. Following the extension of the former to the Canadian border, Interstate 15 was constructed roughly paralleling US-89 to the west and replacing US-91 south of Brigham City. During this process, US-89 was rerouted in southern Utah and northern Arizona with the old roadway becoming US-89A.
US-89 enters Utah from the south inside the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, about 7 miles (11 km) north of the Glen Canyon Dam, where it crosses the Colorado River near Page, Arizona. After leaving the recreation area and passing the small town of Big Water, the highway curves west through the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. US-89 stays near the monument's southern boundary, crossing the East Clark Bench and The Cockscomb and passing south of the Vermilion Cliffs of the Grand Staircase. At the city of Kanab, US-89 meets the north end of US-89A, an alternate route south into Arizona, and abruptly turns north and begins climbing the staircase. Here the Mount Carmel Scenic Byway begins; one of the Utah Scenic Byways, it stretches north to SR-12 at Bryce Canyon Junction. The Vermilion Cliffs are ascended via the canyon carved by Kanab Creek. Near the White Cliffs, US-89 meets SR-9 at Mt. Carmel Junction, where travelers can turn to reach Zion National Park. The final "step" is the Pink Cliffs, where the highway follows alongside the Virgin River to the highest point on US-89 in southern Utah and the east end of SR-14, a summit at Long Valley Junction (elevation 7450 feet/2300 m).
North from Long Valley Junction, US-89 descends through the valley of the Sevier River, meeting SR-12, a scenic highway that leads to Bryce Canyon National Park, at Bryce Canyon Junction, SR-143 in Panguitch, and SR-20 at Bear Valley Junction. As the highway continues north, the valley narrows significantly into the Circleville Canyon before opening out near the town of Circleville. In this part of the valley, the Sevier River is dammed to create the Piute Reservoir, and US-89 meets SR-62 near Kingston. North of Marysvale, the valley again narrows into the Sevier Canyon, which carries the river to its confluence with Clear Creek and US-89 to its overlap with Interstate 70, beginning at Sevier.
