Picture of the day. Posted at 4am. You don’t hold high hopes for herds of wildebeest migrating up 5th Ave, do you?
“Skid mark”?
Cool

I’m being followed by a Moon Shadow…
#6, good one… although you probably have to be 50+ to appreciate it. 😉
Nice photos Bubba.
Maybe we can tow the moon into geosynchronous orbit, that would slow down global warming, but what country/state do we put into perpetual darkness? I vote Texas.
#10, mark, at geosynchronous distance, the Moon would extend an angle of about 2.4 degrees !! Even binoculars would show superb detail. Unfortunately, TX isn’t on the equator, so geosync is out. Darn, there goes perpetual dark skies over DFW (and I’d never have to get the lawn mowed again.) I can only guess at the effects that would have on weather and it sure would stop the tides. 🙂
#10, mark, actually if you could geosync the Moon over DFW, I’d only get a total eclipse once a day, but it sure would be cool.
#7….JimR….I’m 24 and I got it.
Ok, ok, only because my parents are Cat Steven’s fanatics and I heard all of his early stuff all my life, over, and over, and over…… 🙂
#50…Pedro….He was at my University in England lecturing on Muslim/British commonalities in 2006.
