This building dates from 1746 although there had been a chapel on the site since 1662. 2 storeys red brick. Half-hipped tiled roof and eaves cornice. 3 cambered mullions and transoms. Wide doorcase with fluted pilasters containing 2 6-panel moulded doors with a pediment over. Gallery inside and contemporary pulpit.
Although the building looks plain, even severe, from the outside, the timber-framed interior is of considerable architectural interest. The painting on the wall by David Embry depicts the visit of Benjamin Franklin, one of the stalwarts of the American Declaration of Independence, who in 1774 is believed to have visited the Meeting House with his friend Joseph Priestley, the celebrated Unitarian minister and scientist who discovered the existence of oxygen as a constituent of the air. (Priestley was later obliged to flee to America because of his radical views.) If you get near enough to the painting you can read what is written on the hymn-book in the picture. The famous visit is commemorated by a plaque on the front of the church donated by the Tenterden Trust.
The science books say O2xygen was discovered in 1772. Are you kidding me? The main supporter of life as we know it was discovered?! And then Scheele and Priestly go "down in history" as discoverers more important than God or Nature or whatever greater power you happen to believe in. You discover a cure for cancer. You don't discover something that helped give birth to creation and evolution. Semantics is an important discipline at times.
Today, I would like to celebrate my own personal re-discovery of O2xygen! I don't need supplementary O2 any longer! (at least for now)... So I came home from the clinic with a latte and bought a download of a new Topaz toy. And all that equipment of mine is ready to go back to the labs.
This is the result: Isthmus Bay Road, between Lion's Head and Dorcas Bay. What better way to celebrate having enough O2 on my own than with the place that generates it better than anywhere I know!

You may not believe in magic but something very strange is happening at this very moment.
Your head has dissolved into thin air and I can see the rhododendrons through your stomach.

Cafe Oxygen @ Howler's void.
Dome atmosphere is so bad that some citizens like to get a drink and some clean oxygen at the cafe.
My neighbor, friend and a wonderful soul named Fred lives on supplemental oxygen as he awaits a future lung transplant.
Looking for some oxygen for myself... I was practicing rolling the kayak and holding my breath until my lungs were about to explode ;) Freezing cold salt water didn't help me or my sinuses out at all, but I had an awesome time!

i finally found a field of flowers.
today was beyond awkward.
there might be a shard of glass in my right heel.
my heart is beating, though.
and there's oxygen in this room, on this Earth
Winterkill, a term for fish dying under the ice due to a lack of oxygen, is a well-known phenomenon which happens when plants and algae in the water stop producing oxygen due to the lack of sunlight.
