Sulfidic serpentinite from the Precambrian of Montana, USA.
Southern Montana’s Beartooth Mountains has one of only three platinum mines in North America. There, platinum and palladium are mined from the 2.71 billion-year-old Stillwater Complex, a classic example of an LLI (large, layered igneous province). LLIs are large intrusive bodies that display large-scale and small-scale layering, even including cross bedding, ripples, graded bedding, channelforms, and other sedimentary-like features. The Stillwater started out as a large subsurface mass of slowly cooling magma. As various minerals crystallized, they settled to the bottom of the magma chamber. This resulted in layering. Igneous rocks that formed this way have a cumulate texture. Currents in the still-liquid portions of the magma chamber produced the sedimentary structures mentioned above. Most of the Stillwater displays only large-scale layering.
The rocks in the Stillwater are ultramafic and mafic intrusive igneous rocks. Common lithologies include gabbros, norites, harzburgites, anorthosites, troctolites, chromitites, pyroxenites, and dunites. Portions of the Stillwater have been metamorphosed. Olivine is the most commonly altered component, usually metamorphosed to serpentine.
The main platinum-palladium occurrence is in the Johns-Manville Reef (J-M Reef), an interval in the lower part of the Lower Banded Series. There, the Pt-Pd occur in intercumulate sulfides, typically pyrrhotite (Fe1-xS) (= dull brassy colored) and chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) (= yellow brassy colored). Platinum ores in the J-M Reef are principally sulfidic anorthosites, but other lithologies also occur. The J-M Reef is the highest grade deposit known for platinum-group elements (PGEs).

Gabbroic anorthosite to anorthositic gabbro in the Precambrian of Minnesota, USA.
This is part of the widespread Duluth Complex, a ~1.1 billion year old suite of igneous rocks in northeastern Minnesota that is associated with volcanism in the Lake Superior segment of the ancient Mid-Continent Rift System.
These grayish-colored rocks are gabbroic anorthosite to anorthositic gabbro, which are mafic, phaneritic (coarsely-crystalline), intrusive igneous rocks dominated calcium-rich plagioclase feldspar - CaAl2Si2O8 - calcium aluminosilicate. The light gray-colored crystals are the plagioclase - their composition (An70) is on the border between labradorite plagioclase and bytownite plagioclase. The dark-colored material between the plagioclase crystals is principally a mix of olivine and augite pyroxene.
Gabbroic anorthosite is slightly more plagioclase rich than anorthositic gabbro.
Geologic unit & age: anorthosite series, Duluth Complex, late Mesoproterozoic, 1099 Ma
Locality: Merritt Creek West outcrop - roadcut along the northern & northwestern side of Skyline Parkway, Duluth, northeastern Minnesota, USA (46° 45’ 41.23” North, 92° 09’ 38.58” West)
From the August 2016 return trip to Siem Reap and the Angkor complex:
I love the Angkor complex, Siem Reap, and the Cambodian people so much that I returned again for about a week to photograph as much of the “non-major” sites as I could. Some of them are slightly far from Angkor Wat (by that, I mean to say more than 10 kilometers away), and usually require a little more money to get to. Also, some of the sites (Beng Mealea, Phnom Kulen) are not included in the Angkor ticket price and have an additional admission fee.
I don’t know if there’s a set number of how many sites belong in the Angkor complex, though I’m sure it would vary. (Do you only count the major sites like Angkor Wat, Bayon, Ta Prohm? Do you add the sites that aren’t included in the standard “Angkor Pass,” but are clearly of the same era? Do you include sites that aren’t even named (as are one of the sites in this series)? All in all, I’ll put a very rough number at…50 sites in the Siem Reap area, and that includes the sites that are about 100 km away. Of those, I would say I’ve been to all but 5-10 now. All are included here with the exception, obviously, of the sites that I didn’t visit. (Off the top of my head, I can say they include Koh Ker & that respective group, which is about 120 km ENE of Siem Reap; Phnom Krom, one of the three “mountains” with temples; Ta Prohm Kel; and Mangalartha.)
In practical terms, I’m afraid that with the volume of shooting (about 1,500 frames in the past 7 days), photos will start to look redundant to those who don’t have the same interest in ancient/historical architecture or Angkor as I do. That being said, there are a few things besides temples here. The Old Market area (now Night Market/Pub Street) is represented – a little – and Phnom Kulen has a pretty nice waterfall which is also in this series. Also, I tried to catch a few people in here, though didn’t get as many as I would’ve liked.
I had my friend Mao (tuktuk driver) take me around for 5 of these 7 days this time around. As I mentioned last time, he may cost a little more than what you can arrange through a hotel/guesthouse, but he’s well worth the money (and, in the grand scheme of things, not too expensive; I paid less than $200 for the five days, two of which were “long” trips). He loves his country and heritage, he knows what he’s showing you, he’s flexible, he gives you enough ice water to keep you hydrated, and he’s just a good guy. (He even bought me a birthday cake for cryin’ out loud…) Anyway, I highly recommend Mao. You can find him here: www.facebook.com/mao.khvan (or on Trip Advisor: www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g297390-d10726821-R... )
Now that shameless plugs and other assorted rhetoric are out of the way, it’s time to get on to the temples, ruins, and other miscellany.
My last two days of this weeklong Angkor trip were spent alone (with no guide, that is). I just hired a tuktuk to drop me off and took a different one back both days. The price for that was $15 round trip, so was ten dollars cheaper than going with Mao, but as I mentioned…Mao does a lot of extra things to make the extra cost worthwhile.
By this point, however, I’m pretty familiar with anything I want to see or do in the Angkor area, so had no problems haggling over prices or anything else. On Sunday, I woke up fairly early and started to walk towards the Night Market area to grab a tuktuk. (My Home Tropical Villa is about 600 meters walk due south of the Night Market for those who are interested, though there is definitely no shortage of places to stay in Siem Reap.)
Anyway, a fellow stopped by and $7 and 20 minutes later, I found myself at the east gate of Ta Prohm. I wanted to come back here because the previous two times I was here, I was dumb enough to not take my tripod out. So a few of the shots in this particular group may be a bit redundant, though I hope not too much so. The only “new” part I saw while here this time around was the west gate, which I didn’t bother photographing. (Both the east and west gates didn’t impress me terribly, though they aren’t unattractive.) I don’t even have a shot from anywhere along the rather short west causeway represented here.
Since I was sans driver for the first time, I walked a bit. All told, I think I probably covered 3-4 km through the forest/jungle, but along roads I’d covered with Mao previously. After coming out the west gate of Ta Prohm, I headed straight north and followed the road as it goes north or west into the heart of Angkor Thom (ending directly in front of the Elephant Terrace).
En route, I took one or two very quick pictures at Spean Thma (or ‘Thmor,’ as I’ve seen spelled elsewhere; it means “stone bridge” in Khmer). I also returned for a few more detailed shots at Thommanon, but didn’t stop at Chao Say Tevoda.
Continuing west, I made my way into Angkor Thom and passed by some monkeys who looked to have some nefarious intentions of taking my camera gear. I squashed that by threatening them with my tripod. I also stopped to dance with a Cambodian family for a few seconds – literally – before reaching the South Kleang & South Suor Prat Towers for a few quick shots.
After that, I crossed over to the Elephant Terrace and wandered around the Phimeanakas area (north of the palace with the pool) before approaching Baphuon from the north. Coming out from Baphuon’s main entrance, I walked the 100 or so meters to Bayon to photograph some more of the reliefs from there.
That was the end of the Angkor shooting for Sunday. I paid $8 to a driver to drop me off by Pub Street where I grabbed lunch, did a little shooting in the Old Town area, then spent the rest of the day relaxing.
Monday was even easier than Sunday. I started a little bit later in the day after yet another ham & cheese omelet at My Home. I did some more shooting in the Old Town area before taking a tuktuk to Angkor Wat – the only temple I would shoot on my last day – where I stayed for an hour or two. Most of the shooting was of the grounds and the reliefs around the outer wall of the temple (though they aren’t nearly as distinct as those of Bayon). Distinctive…yes. They tell a story and are essentially a religious historical record. But, they’re not as easy to photograph as Bayon’s simply because they’re worn down a bit more.
After finishing up at Angkor Wat, I spent the rest of the day pretty much the same as Sunday. Sitting around the Old Town area and getting some night shots as well With that, my August holiday to Angkor & Siem Reap was finished. I wouldn’t see Mao again, though his wife and daughter came with a tuktuk driver on Tuesday morning to take me to the airport. If I’m lucky, I’ll be back again someday.
As always, I hope you enjoy this set. I appreciate you taking time to look. If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a message or leave it via comment.

I can intelligently talk in respect to Alpha Muscle Complex.
There were no online stores to tell you as it concerns Alpha Muscle Complex back then. I think that they're making hard earned cash hand over fist. You could see this everywhere so it appeared like a really good Alpha Muscle Complex. I have concerns in the matter of the entire Alpha Muscle Complex industry.
Somehow, I doubt this.
I'll give you the grand tour. It is how to help the working poor with Alpha Muscle Complex. We'll look at the statistics. This is the coolest item in connection with Alpha Muscle Complex.

Student meldt zich met bagage voor het introductiekamp van studievereniging Complex, 10 augustus 2010
The Perbadanan Putrajaya complex incorporates a futuristic building in Putrajaya & is one of the landmark buildings along the Persiaran Perdana.
Designed as a complex of interconnected spaces that will reflect a distinct presence in Presint 3, the building is a contemporary interpretation of traditional Islamic architecture. The main feature is the Gateway or Gerbang with a public viewing deck on the top most level that allows for a breathtaking view of the city skyline that includes the Palace of Justice and the Grand Mosque. The gateway will also provide a vantage point during parades.
The main building comprises four simple volumes integrated within courtyards while along the Persiaran Perdana, the arcade opens up to incorporate a landscaped "Qiblat Walk". In the Gallery flanking the Qiblat Walk, meeting rooms are suspended to give an impressive façade. A continuous suspended garden crowns the top of the gallery to provide natural views from the Dataran through to the waterfront to the west of the building.
The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Dragon spacecraft lifts off from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Thursday, Nov. 9, 2023, on the company’s 29th commercial resupply services mission for the agency to the International Space Station. Liftoff was at 8:28 p.m. EST. Dragon will deliver scientific research, technology demonstrations, crew supplies, and hardware to the space station to support its Expedition 70 crew, including NASA’s Integrated Laser Communications Relay Demonstration Low Earth Orbit User Modem and Amplifier Terminal (ILLUMA-T) and Atmospheric Waves Experiment (AWE). The spacecraft is expected to spend about a month attached to the orbiting outpost before it returns to Earth with research and return cargo, splashing down off the coast of Florida.

This temple complex lies around 2.5km southeast of the egyptian city of Dendera and extends to around 40.000 square meters.
A 5 alarm fire ignited in an appartment complex under constuction in Santa Clara, May 2012. The fire destroyed 2 buildings under construction, and damaged many more buildings existing in the complex.
100 foot plus flames were visibile for miles around. Santa Clara was assisted in their response by units from Santa Clara County Fire and San Jose Fire Department.
This part of the structure was quite fristrating to Fire fighters. There are four uprights in each corner. Inside they are burning, causeing this chimney like effect. They can't spray water on the fire from the outside, and the can't get close enough to pull it apart because it is in the collapse zone. So they are just puffing away merrily here.
