"This amazing #stone #artifact, found in the 80s in a #tunnel #system in #Ecuador depicts a roughly etched #world-map, and its thought to be at least 10,000 years old. Here you can see the last remnants of the Atlantean continent in the #Atlantic off the #Florida #coast.
#Cayce. He purports that at this time there were two civilizations on #earth: one very primitive, #ancient #Man that we know about, mere hunter gatherers who populated most of the #world; and an isolationist group, the Atlanteans on their #island who were #extremely #advanced.
Atlantis was real, Cayce was correct, and as a continent civilization it existed for over a hundred thousand years, until about 12,000 years ago" #history
#quote from #pa
Last week, we had a day trip to #Torquay but rather than drive or take the train, we decided on a different route. The first leg was a #cycle trip to #Exmouth, about 17 km, followed by a boat trip around the #Devon #coast. The weather was a bit changeable but there were only prospects of short showers.
Well the first shower- didn't take long to arrive and here you can see the drops falling into the #EnglishChannel in the #wake of the #boat. An interesting combination of periodicity and irregularity on the water's surface.
But soon the rain cleared up and the Sun poked through the broken clouds.
The first part of the #coast travelling #west is primarily #sandstone with its distinctive orange colour. You can see the layers tilted through geological action. #Erosion is always evident at the surface but on the action is the sea. The rocks are dated at about 250 million years.
On to a bit of #EngineeringGeology and #GeotechnicalEngineering, the erosion is a serious problem for any structures built on or near the coast and there is a mainline railway track on the route to London which runs along it on this stretch. #NetworkRail is busy trying to stabilize and strengthen the cliffs using #RockAnchor, #RockBolts and #meshing to retard the process. Here you can see workers #abseiling as part of their work.
The erosion causes all manner of interesting irregular shapes in the rocks which make ideal place for #Seabirds to live. These include #Cormorants, #Shags and #Gulls.
As you travel further west, the stratum abruptly changes to #limestone which is over 300 million years old. The form of erosion is also different as limestone is also chemically eroded by slightly acidic water. You can also see that the colour of the sea here is a very deep green.
The #limestone also forms small #islets just off the #coast, again on which birds alight.
A close approach to an islet reveals the beautiful detailed patterns of #rock and #vegetation.
Approaching our destination, some brave souls were clambering over this islet and perhaps were preparing to dive into the water.
MP and furious locals in desperate last-ditch bid to stop Bibby Stockholm barge that will house 500 male asylum seekers for 18 months off the #Dorset #coast – with migrants given free mobiles, healthcare and an hourly bus service into the seaside town

#StCiarán of #Saighir is depicted in a window in #StBrendan's #Church, Birr, Co #Offaly. Picture by Andreas Franz Borchert
#St #Ciarán of Saighir
Reputed to have been the #first saint #born in #reland, #Ciarán was a native of #CapeClear #Island off the #coast of #Cork.
He became the bishop of Saighir (Seir-Kieran) in the foothills of the #SlieveBloom #mountains in modern-day Co Offaly and remains the patron saint of the Diocese of #Ossory.
Lives of the saint relate #how he #lived in a #forest surrounded by #animals and wearing nothing but skins.
This corresponds to the image of him as a western John the Baptist, and thus like St Ibar, a precursor of the national apostle.

#Sea and #Sky #Glows over the #Oregon #Coast by #RudyMontoya
Every step caused the sand to light up blue. That glow was bioluminescence -- a blue radiance that also lights the surf in this surreal scene captured in mid-2018 at Meyer's Creek Beach in Oregon, USA. Volcanic stacks dot the foreground sea, while a thin fog layer scatters light on the horizon. The rays of light spreading from the left horizon were created by car headlights on the Oregon Coast Highway (US 101), while the orange light on the right horizon emanates from a fishing boat. Visible far in the distance is the band of our Milky Way Galaxy, appearing to rise from a dark rocky outcrop.
