Beautiful Structured Storms on May 25 2020 across Northeast Wisconsin. Marginal Shear and moderate instability led to some gorgeous storms. Oconto, Langlade and Marinette Counties.
Also known as Alderstead Fort, this structure was erected in the late 1890's to provide a method of defending against any assault on London, as invaders would be likely to travel through this reigion after arrival at Dover. Of course, as we all know Britain hasn't been invaded in hundreds of years, so thankfully the men stationed here never saw combat. It seems to have been finally decommissioned in the 1950's, as many of these 19th century defences were due to defence cutbacks.
Today the farmer who owns the site has used it as a storeroom and it's quite full. However, there are interesting tunnels that lead further back into the hillside, although those would require Wellington boots due to flooding.
Cone-in-cone limestone bed, composed of finely fibrous calcite. This weathered sample is likely derived from an interbed in the Ohio Shale outcrop belt (Frasnian-Famennian, Upper Devonian) of central Ohio, USA.
Cone-in-cone structures are strange features found as interbeds in fine-grained siliciclastic rocks and sometimes found in the outer layers of concretions. They consist of sets of conical structures stacked up within each other. Mineralogically, they are often composed of finely-crystalline fibrous calcite. Numerous hypotheses have been proposed over the years that try to explain cone-in-cone structures. None has emerged as the most popular or most likely (see Lugli et al., 2005 for a long list of proposed formation mechanisms). These structures remain a mystery.

For Burningman 2009 I built this shade structure out of PVC pipe, 2x4, and a bunch of zipties.
It rolls up to fit on the roof rack.
So these are some rocks stacked on top of each other, I think there a little weird and I'm surprised no ones tried to knock them over
The Chapel is the most notable structure in Fort Ross because it's unusual for North America. It's landmark "small belfry" is a familiar sight along Highway One and the chapel is a mecca for visiting Russians. During the 1906 earthquake, the chapel's old walls completely caved in and the floors and foundation were reduced to rubble. In the spring of 1916 the State Legislature appropriated $3,000 towards its reconstruction. In October of 1970, the restored chapel was entirely destroyed by an accidental fire. The chapel that emerged in 1973 is what is seen today in the compound.
This is the bell located at the entrance to the Chapel. It might have been used to inform about religious services, as well as an alarm to all in case of an attack to the settlement.
Fort Ross is a former Russian settlement located on the west coast of North America in what is now Sonoma County, California USA. It was the hub of the southernmost Russian settlements in North America between 1812 to 1841. This establishment is a landmark in the history of European imperialism. The Spanish expansion went west across the Atlantic Ocean and the Russian expansion went east across Siberia and the Pacific Ocean. In the early 19th century, the two waves of expansion met on the opposite side of the world along the Pacific Coast of California, with Russia arriving from the north, Spain from the south, and the United States of America from the east.

This photo is part of a series of images captured during a road trip up the northern coast of California during late spring of 2011. This single-day trip began in the central valley of California and camera shooting started in Windsor just north of Santa Rosa and on to Bodega Bay all the way up to Fort Bragg.

Tracks on the northernmost section in this south-facing view from track level have been removed as part of the bridge replacement. The section painted a reddish color will be separated from the bridge, completely, within a few hours of this picture.
The bridge replacement is a major Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) project.
