A New Piece of Land

South Eastern England has much chalk, which is a cretaceous deposit, and at places the rock is exposed. With the landowner's permission a fossil can be chipped out of the rock in any places not specifically protected.

Book Review: The Moor

Assess where you are and then find a suitable path that takes you on the optimal route off the moor. If you need to seek shelter find the best available, and do not try to descend in darkness.

Walking in North East Snowdonia: a quiet little jewel

Photographs are taken and then studied to assess the accuracy of the bombers.

Walking in North East Snowdonia: a quiet little jewel

Thank you for your comment below on Nov. 13, 2020, in answer to my previous-day observation and question.

What is used instead of bombs to attack targets and what will be studied for its accuracy at practice end?

Book Review: The Moor

Your comment below on Oct. 27, 2015, catches my attention, especially where you consider that "Sometimes, in bad weather conditions, the bogs can be grim. The bogs of Dartmoor, Exmoor and Bodmin Moor are particularly dangerous, so if you ever get to go to these places, beautiful in their immense solitude that they are, stick to the paths, please!"

What does one do if bad weather descends?
Does one retrace one's steps?
Does one seek shelter at the path's end?
Does one seek shelter nearest the path?

A New Piece of Land

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

Farmers applying fossilized manure impresses me as an environment-friendly practice even as it puzzles me somewhat as to its unrestricted accessibility.

Is a fossil or something Jurassic -- even manure, not body parts -- not indicated as an off-limits archaeological site?

Who Was Otto Kubel?

He was a dedicated member and follower, but, as I believe, he was focused on culture only. NSDAP was very strickt about education and culture because these two areas are great for indoctrination. Membership in the party definitely didn't give him immortality. His work in all spheres of the city earned him the street name. Yet Kubel is today hardly known outside of Germany. (His work was for some time quite popular in USA between the World Wars.) Art collectors are still familiar with his postcards, of course.

Who Was Otto Kubel?

Thank you for the three links -- of which one by Wizzley's own Miha Gasper! -- at the very end of your wizzley.

Otto Kubel works cause me to consider personal mortality and professional immortality.

The second paragraph to your introduction considers that "Despite his indisputable skills, people outside of artistic circles rarely hear about Otto Kubel" even as the 10th subheading, Controversy, considers that "Although Otto Kubel moved to Munich in 1922, he stayed closely connected to Furstenfeldbruck, where a street was named after him when he died. This decision was later questioned due to his well-known support of NSDAP. Anyway, the city council decided that his role in the leading German party was not so important to change the name of the street, so it stayed, just like his beautiful pictures."

Did National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei) membership determine that Germany-defined immortality during and after his lifetime?

Is it known whether Otto Kubel inclined toward the NSDAP platform because of being impelled or because of being interested?

It is. cheaper to buy fertiliser, but there is no objection to the practice resuming.

Blick Mead: Stonehenge's sacred spring

Yes. Families can rise to higher levels of the peerage, and duke is one rank above marquis. Demotion is rare.

Who Was Otto Kubel?

I believe carpentry was just a job to survive until the studies were finished. I didn't see any example of his work in this area.

Who Was Otto Kubel?

The Kubel works impress me with their attention to colors and to details and with diversity as board games, books, maps, carpentry, oil paintings, paper cuts and postcards.

Ia there any extant example of Kubel designs or paintings or realizations of carpentry?

Manchester Runway Viewing Park, Cheshire

Planes landing and taking off can be called noisy by some listeners.

Does the Viewing Park distribute or suggest ear protection such as headphones?

Does the sound level ever become a bit too competitive with café or picnic-table or viewing-mound conversations?

Blick Mead: Stonehenge's sacred spring

The third paragraph under the first subheading, Beginnings, alerts us to the estate of the Marquis of Queensbury.

This question is related in that that title serves as birth source to my question but unrelated in that it strcutures around noble titles.

Would the marquis of Queensbury always be a marquis or would there be the possibility of demotion to a lesser or higher title, such as down to earl or up to duke?

Essex days; Hylands House and Park

The house facades as white so different from the previous red continues to catch my attention.

Below I entertain the older, red-brick facade as beneath, or gone from under, the current white facade.

Should the red brick be no more, what would have happened to all those bricks? Would they be re-used on the property or would they be sold or would they be tossed in a landfill equivalent?
