Rhyolitic mahogany obsidian in the Pleistocene of Wyoming, USA.
This outcrop is part of a rhyolite lava flow that erupted in the Yellowstone Caldera during the last Ice Age (Pleistocene). Yellowstone itself is an enormous hotspot volcano - it has semi-regular, giant ash eruptions every 600,000 to 650,000 years or so. After Yellowstone's last mega-eruption and caldera collapse (at ~640 ka), relatively minor volcanic activity occurred in the caldera. Most of this consisted of rhyolite lava flow volcanism, but some basalt lava flow volcanism also took place.
The exposure shown above is part of the Nez Perce Creek Flow (Middle Pleistocene, ~152 ka) at its westernmost margin. This lava flow is well exposed in a series of roadcuts along Firehole Canyon Drive in Yellowstone National Park. Rocks there include gray rhyolites, finely-fractured obsidian (seen here), and rhyolite breccias having obsidian clasts.
The mottled black and dark reddish-brown material shown above is rhyolitic obsidian (a.k.a. "glassy rhyolite" or "rhyolite glass"). Obsidian is a glassy-textured, felsic to intermediate, extrusive igneous rock. It can be rhyolitic or rhyodacitic or dacitic or andesitic in composition. Most obsidian is black in color, but sometimes can be a rich reddish-brown color. The latter is a variety called mahogany obsidian.
Stratigraphy: Nez Perce Creek Flow, Central Plateau Member, Plateau Rhyolite, upper Middle Pleistocene, ~152 ka (148-160 ka)
Locality: roadcut on eastern side of Firehole Canyon Drive, eastern side of the Firehole River Canyon, western Yellowstone National Park, northwestern Wyoming, USA
ELLSWORTH AIR FORCE BASE, S.D. -- Staff Sgt. Raymond Zgoda, 28th Civil Engineer Squadron heavy equipment and pavement technician, removes a concrete curb during minor repairs in front of the 28th Bomb Wing Headquarters here June 27, 2013. After the concrete and pavement are cut, the pieces are removed and the existing hole is then filled in with new concrete before being shaped to make a new, effective curb.

Introduced, warm-season to yearlong-green, perennial herb; aerial stems annual, to 1 m tall.
Leaves are pinnate, 8–20 cm long and form a rosette; leaflets number 9–21, and are ovate, toothed and hairless; stipules are leafy, stem-clasping and toothed. Flowerheads are globose to ovoid spikes, 10–15 mm long. Flowers are unisexual; sepals 4, petals 0. Female flowers are borne above the male flowers. Male flowers have 4 stamens, sometimes with 1 or 2 stigmas. Female flowers have 2 carpels and sometimes 1 or 2 stamens.
Fruiting hypanthium are 3–4 mm long, 4-ribbed and strongly pitted between the ribs. A native of Europe, it is common on the Tablelands, especially along roadsides. A minor environmental weed. Easily mistaken for native Acaena species when not in flower; fruits of these species are spiny.
Ulmacée atteignant 20 m, à écorce d'abord lisse, puis profondément fissurée, brun foncé. Feuilles caduques, alternes, simples, obovales à ovales de 2-10 cm, à dents aiguës (2 fois dentées), dissymétriques à la base avec d'un côté une oreillette arrondie soudée au pétiole. Inflorescence en glomérules denses et sessiles apparaissant sur l'écorce des rameaux de l'année précédente, nettement avant les feuilles (comme d'ailleurs l'infrutescence, les samares, visibles ici avec une graine décentrée). Périgone à 4-5 tépales verdâtres de 5-6 mm. 4-5 étamines pourpres, très saillantes, opposées aux tépales et dressées dans le bouton. 2 styles divergents avec stigmates généralement blanchâtres. Samares de 1,5-2 cm à aile glabre, atténunée en coin à la base, avec graine située au dessus de son centre atteignant l'échancrure.
Autres noms français : Ipréau (de la ville d'Ypres en Belgique, ce nom est plutôt celui du Peuplier blanc ou gris), Orme cilié ou rouge (du fait de la couleur de son bois brun rougeâtre), Ormeau ou Petit orme (traduction littérale de son actuel nom scientifique, celui de champêtre provenant de campestris : son ancien nom d'espèce), Tortillard (quand sa tige est tortueuse), Yvet (cf. Orme cilié). Espèce postpionnière, sciaphile, ubiquiste, des sols enrichis en base et en azote, à large amplitude hydrique (cf. Nouvelle flore de la Belgique..., P Fournier, P Jauzein et O Nawrot).
Cette espèce de la flore pré-vernale (floraison précédant la foliation ou foliaison ou feuillaison) offre la particularité d'avoir une infrutescence ou fructification succédant à la floraison ou inflorescence, mais précédant la foliation ou foliaison ou feuillaison.

John Peter Sullivan (born January 3, 1941, at Somerville, New Jersey, USA) is a former catcher and coach in Major League Baseball. A left-handed batter who threw right-handed, Sullivan stood 6' (183 cm) tall and weighed 195 pounds (89 kg) as an active player. After graduating from Bernardsville, New Jersey, High School, Sullivan signed with the Detroit Tigers in 1959 and made his debut with them in the waning days of the 1963 season. He played in five major league seasons with Detroit (1963-65), the New York Mets (1967) and Philadelphia Phillies (1968), appearing in 116 games, with 59 hits in 259 at bats, batting .228 with two home runs and 18 runs batted in. His only substantial terms of MLB service were as a reserve catcher for the 1965 Tigers and 1967 Mets, for whom he played his only full season in MLB. He played eight years at the Triple-A level. Sullivan began managing in minor league baseball in 1973 in the Kansas City Royals' farm system. During six seasons, he rose from Rookie ball to Triple-A, winning four league championships and compiling a stellar .601 winning percentage (434 victories and 288 defeats). His only under .500 club, the 1978 Omaha Royals, who finished 66-69, nevertheless topped their division and defeated the Indianapolis Indians for the American Association championship. In 1979, Sullivan began a 15-year run as a Major League coach, serving with the Royals (1979), Atlanta Braves (1980-81) and Toronto Blue Jays (1982-93). He was brought to Toronto by Bobby Cox after Cox' first term as Braves' manager, and remained with the club under Cox successors Jimy Williams and Cito Gaston, coaching on the Blue Jays' 1992 and 1993 World Series championship teams.
Statue of Faustina Minor or Faustina The Younger. She was the grandchild of Hadrian and married to Marcus Aurelius. She also apparently ordered many deaths by poison and execution. And they said she commited adultery with all kinds of men, from gladiators to men of rank. Thankfully there were no paparazzi back in the day.

This Minor 1000 was in gorgeous condition when it was spotted as an exhibit at the 2013 Morris Minor Meet at Crich Tramway Village on the 10th of May 2013. This particular Saloon was made in 1966 and it was first registered in the UK, in the same year, on the 9th of November 1966. It does have the original engine, a 1.1 Litre (1098cc) Straight 4 A-Series BMC engine which runs on petrol. This Minor when seen was in the Morris Minor Owners Club and it also wore some nice period badges by the grille of the car.

UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE
The Loire Valley between Sully-sur--Lore and Chalonnes, France
Date of Inscription: 2000
Minor boundary modification inscribed year: 2017
The property of the Loire Valley between Sully-sur-Loire and Chaconnes is located in the regions of the Centre-Val-de-Loire and Pays-de-la-Loire. This cultural landscape covers a section of the Middle course of the 280 km river, from Sully-sur-Loire, east of Orleans up to Chalonnes, west of Angers, including the minor and major beds of the river.
It is formed by many centuries of interaction between the river, the land that it irrigates and the populations established there throughout history.
The 'Chateau and Estate ofChambord', which was previously inscribed on the World Heritage List, is part of the 'Loire Valley between Sully-sur-Loire and Chaconnes'.
The Chateau de Chambord is in Chambord, Centre-Val de Loire, France, is one of the most recognizable chateaux in the world because of its very distinctive French Renaissance architecture which blends traditional French medieval forms with classical Renaissance structures.
