There's a reason why they call Newfoundland the rock. Visited there and Labrador on a vacation, beautiful views.
Gander control in Canada is the North American centre for North Atlantic commercial flight crossings to and from Europe. The Shanwick Centre is the Europen counterpart, located in Ayrshire, Scotland. The air traffic controllers work together to keep planes in pre-defined tracks and oversee separation.

Those are lovely buildings. Reminescent of Downing street in London, although there the top windows are dromers on the roof.
Interesting that in the old days, buildings had what they call Western False Front Architecture in the prairies and westward. The architecture, by making the building look bigger, projected an image of success. No doubt, carried over from the east and across the ocean.
A family member owned a grocery store with a brick facade like this. The building was constructed in the 1800 and was a factory with a blacksmith shop in the back before the property was bough to use as the grocery in the early 1900's. The business survived for over 100 years.
Here is a little bit of South West rock. First photo is me and a old friend heading in to the Bears Ears National Monument in Utah, you see the Bears ears in the background. Second pic is the Ear you see on the left up close.The rest are from Canyonlands/Natural Bridges area. Last one is just a bit of stone and brick work i did last year.

Would be neither cold nor wet in Bears Ears. Considering cold and wet is pretty much normal for Ireland could do with some baking in the sun. Speaking of St. Patrick

I have only seen one rattler in my life, and that was down in San Carlos Mexico. It was in the evening and was cooling off, drove up to a huge rattler slowly crossing the dirt road. There was cat messing with it! They are here though, Guy was at a party a few years ago north of me, went to put out a smoke just off a patio,and got nailed. Had to fly him to Denver. Cost eighty grand!
Thanks! Will post some more work photos soon!Nice work! Mad skills.
Unfortunately, you'd have to spend the summer in Iowa..want some walkways done.
You want to hire someone who will put walkway material on 4-6 inches of compacted road base. Base should have crushed rock not round, it will hold up, not roll apart! It's all about the base or bass!
There are some good strong cement pavers you can get, that you can drive on, and come in different colors..
