Snowflake Brooch.
- My Iron and Quartz Rock. - Apart from being beautiful, some mineral crystals also form fractals. The size of the portion that forms fractals depends on how the crystal formed in the first place. Crystals like amethyst have a cubic formation.

Baustellendynamik neben den Gleisen, andernorts. Unsicheres Ballet, Menschen, Maschinen. Radlader mit einer Schaufel voll Kies. Wer abrupt bremst, verliert Nutzlast. Wer Nutzlast verliert, kehrt. Zumindest manche Regeln sind leicht zu erklären. Feierabendverkehr fließt durch Engpässe, über Stock und Stein wie Wasser, nur lauter und ungeduldiger. Wer kann, bleibt abseits des Stroms im Schatten, verliert sich in merkwürdigen Analogien und gibt den Wellen Zeit, sich zu beruhigen.

EVERGREEN
I went for a walk this morning. It's always a good day when I can get out the door and walk. There is a rare sight in the 'Winter of Down the Valley of Salt Lake City', a beautiful blue sky with fluffy white clouds and fresh air. It rained a little last night, enough to bring down some of the thick, claustrophobic air pollution and wash it down drains. It's like many things - even when you can't see it, there is something beautiful hidden from your sight. In a short while, the air will fill up with solid white air pollution.
I love evergreen and stopped to cut a few springs growing on City public property. I love to have it at home - the sight and scent of evergreen is very nice. Something of Nature while living in the middle of concrete, asphalt, traffic and noise.

The ##erosion of #rocks around #Pontneddfechan shows #sedimentary #layers as well as fracturing by hydraulic action.
Here, for example, is an exposed cliff with jagged, cuboid forms left my the erosion process. It reminds me of the #VideoGame #Qbert.
Here you can see that the layers of rock are slanted by #GeologicalForces.

THE STONE OF DESTINY
Stone of Scone, also called Stone of Destiny, Scottish Gaelic Lia Fail, stone that for centuries was associated with the crowning of Scottish kings and then, in 1296, was taken to England and later placed under the Coronation Chair.
Legend. Various theories and legends exist about the stone’s history prior to its placement in Scone. One story concerns Fergus, son of Erc, the first King of the Scots (c. 498 – 501) in Scotland, whose transport of the Stone from Ireland to Argyll, where he was crowned on it, was recorded in a 15th-century chronicle. Some versions identify the stone brought by Fergus with the Lia Fáil (Irish for “stone of destiny”) used at Tara for inaugurating the High Kings of Ireland. Other traditions contend that the Lia Fáil remains at Tara. (Inis Fáil, “The Island of Destiny”, is one of the traditional names of Ireland.) Other legends place the origins of the Stone in Biblical times and identify it as the Stone of Jacob, taken by Jacob from Bethel while on the way to Haran (Genesis 28:10–22). This very same Stone of Jacob was then supposedly taken to ancient Ireland by the prophet Jeremiah.
Oh. How we love our legends and rituals.
