DO NOT THROW PEBBLES
AT THE LITTLE FLINT MEN.
THESE ARE GREMLINS
IN DISGUISE AND CAUSE
TROUBLE
WHEN THE WIND
BLOWS
Disused now and since Covid closed for visitors.
Built in the late 17th Century or early 18th Century and used to crush Flint for the pottery industry in Stoke-On- Trent. That was something new I learned. I did not know powdered flint is used in the manufacture of porcelain.

The combination of Flint and the RAM is one I first saw used by Wizard of X, funnily enough, the Flint used to belong to Wizard of X!
Thanks, yet again, Xander for the sweet custom Flint.
The Flint Hills of Kansas will be looking like this in about a month from now. Ready for spring wildflowers to start blooming.
The last three percent of untouched Tallgrass Prairie left in North America is in the Flint Hills of Kansas and the Osage Hills in Extreme Northern Oklahoma. The Flint Hills Tallgrass Prairie is clearly the last significant expanse of a unique prairie ecosystem and it needs to be protected and preserved for future generations.
The Flint Hills, in the eastern part of the state, fan out over 183 miles from north to south, stretching 30 to 40 miles wide in parts, the land folding into itself, then popping up in gentle bumps, with mounds looming far off on the horizon. Seemingly endless,
the landscape offers up isolated images — a wind-whipped cottonwood tree, a rusted cattle pen, a spindly windmill, an abandoned limestone schoolhouse, the metal-gated entrance to a hilltop cemetery.The hills are named after another native stone, flintlike chert that Indians used to make tools. Many artifacts have been found at area quarries.
The Flint Hills in Kansas and in Oklahoma are North America’s
largest remaining tract of tallgrass prairie. The preserve is at its
full glory in late spring, when yellow, white, purple and blue wildflowers
pop up amid a sea of green grass. The grass is tallest, about waist
high in the fall.

I found four flints with holes in them.
I intend to use them for dowsing experiments - pendulums.

FLINT HILLS, KANSAS, USA -- Fireflies flash their mating patterns over the Wild Alfalfa in the Flint Hills of Kansas. Taken at the Tallgrass Preserve near Strong City, the photo is a 76 second time exposure. It was so dark I couldn't see through viewfinder and had to focus by sheer guess. Taken a good hour after sunset the light was extremely blue adding to the natural blue of the alfalfa. You can see more at my web site: www.jimrichardsonphotography.com
Der Hamburger Schiffbauer Martin Adolph Flint gründete am 15. September 1870 in Hamburg am Stadtdeich eine Reparaturwerft, die schon im folgenden Jahr an die Norderelbstraße auf Steinwerder umsiedelte. Steinwerder, eine hochwassergefährdete Elbinsel, wurde durch die Erhöhung mit Schutt, der vom Brand der Stadt 1842 stammte, zu einer hochwassersicheren Fläche für Landwirtschaft, Gastwirtschaften, Kaffeegärten und Industrie sowie Schiffbaubetriebe. In dem neuen, größeren Betrieb wurden auch neue Schiffe gebaut, vorwiegend kleine Hafenfahrzeuge wie Schuten und Schlepper. Ein Teil der Schuten wurden vermietet oder im eigenen Betrieb genutzt. Um die Jahrhundertwende wurden die neu gebauten Binnenschiffe Manuele, Ingried und Lieschen abgeliefert.
This very nice flint tool measures only 6 cm across, and was found in 2003 during evaluation trenching at Swanscombe, Kent.
Flint corn (Zea mays var. indurata) also known as Indian corn or sometimes calico corn is a variant of maize, the same species as common corn. Because each kernel has a hard outer layer to protect the soft endosperm, it is likened to being hard as flint; hence the name. The six major types of corn are dent corn, flint corn, pod corn, popcorn, flour corn, and sweet corn.

This was taken on a pretty windy day so was making a little tradeoff between ISO and shutter speed. But it also kicked a lot of dust in the air so had some nice soft light as the sun was starting to set.

Flint è un pappagallo cacatua, proveniente dall'Arcipelago delle Molucche. Flint è la star assoluta della Biosfera che si trova la porto vecchio di Genova. E' un pappagallo dalle piume rosa che vive nella bolla da sei anni, ovvero da quando è nato. Il continuo passaggio di turisti e la vicinanza dei biologi che giornalmente si prendono cura delle piante e degli animali non costituiscono un problema per lui, che anzi ama farsi coccolare. Flint è anche un po' viziato, e vuole attrarre l'attenzione su di sé. Nessuno lo costringe a fare nulla (non è certo considerato un fenomeno da presentare ai visitatori), ma è un giocherellone e si diverte ad imitare i ragazzi e le ragazze che trascorrono con lui la maggior parte della giornata. Infatti sa aprire le bottigliette di plastica e aspetta i visitatori alla cassa.
Non sa parlare, ma solo perché per ora non ha avuto voglia di farlo. Chissà che in futuro non lo vedremo salutare i turisti con una frase di benvenuto.
Flint esce dalla bolla solo la sera, per andare a dormire. Ma il suo istinto non lo spinge a cercare di fuggire per conoscere il mondo: a quanto pare questo pappagallo, ormai genovese d'adozione, ama la sua Biosfera, che lo fa sentire al sicuro.

Visiting Flint Dock On The Wales Coastal Path
The dock was built in the 1800s to export lead from Halkyn Mountain and later coal and timber as
the boatyard developed. It’s hard to believe but this quiet quayside was once the busiest place in
Flint and also the dirtiest and most polluted due to the chemicals heavy industry used here.
Follow a winding path around the dock and into the woods beyond with glimpses of the estuary
