Little America in Cserepfalu, Hungary

The Millennium Viewing Tower (Millenniumi Kilato) is being seen in Cserepfalu, Hungary, on November 7, 2023. Designed by architect Gyorgy Csete, the tower's shape represents that of the stone hives, and its windows symbolize niches carved in rock. The surface is inlaid with glass, with a pattern forming that of the Ursa Major constellation. Constructed from rhyolite tuff, the tower also incorporates old hewn stones to honor the Cserepfalu stone craftsmen of times gone by. (Photo by Michal Fludra/NurPhoto)

A deformed rock in Matsushima Bay

This is a magnificient view of the famous Zaimoku Island, an interesting geological arch formed by erosion. The layered sedimentary rock of this island teaches us much about the origins of Matsushima Bay. Unfortunately, the arch was partially destroyed by an earthquake in 1969. Then an off-shore earthquakein 1978 in Miyagi Prefecture destroyed what remained, and no geographical elements depicted in this photo can be seen any longer.==Date:1904, Place:Matsushima, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐54‐0]
