At a cruise this past weekend. It was at the County Nursing Home. A group from a local church was at hand taking the residents around to enjoy the festivities. All seemed to enjoy it tremendously.

Comments (7)I sent my brother a postcard similar to the following during our trip to Block Island After I sent it I tried to get a similar picture of my own. So I went to the Mohegan Bluffs that were pictured and went down the staircase there. One problem is that the staircase doesn't go all to way to the beach. The other problem is that the lighthouse isn't visible from that part of the beach. It seemed that it might be visible from further up the beach, and it was a beautiful day, so I started walking When I got to that distant point, the lighthouse was visible, but just barely After the hike and the climb back up the staircase, I went to the lighthouse a short way up the road. In the end I figured out that either: 1) the postcard image was taken from somewhere up on top of one of the cliffs, or 2) it was taken years ago before they moved the lighthouse further away from the cliff edge to keep it from falling in the ocean. or 3) they doctored the image using photoshop Look it even has a sailboat now. :-)...See MoreI'll Show You Mine if You Show Me Yours Tues Aug 01

Image Credit & Copyright: Phebe PanExplanation: That's no meteor. While watching and photographing this year's Perseid Meteor Shower, something unexpected happened: a gigantic jet erupted from a nearby cloud. The whole thing was over in a flash -- it lasted less than a second -- but was fortunately captured by an already-recording digital camera. Gigantic jets are a rare form of lightning recognized formally only a few years ago. The featured high resolution color image, taken near the peak of Shikengkong mountain in China, may be the best image yet of this unusual phenomenon. The same event appears to have been captured simultaneously by another photographer, further away. The gigantic jet appears to start somewhere in a nearby thundercloud and extend upwards towards Earth's ionosphere. The nature of gigantic jets and their possible association with other types of Transient Luminous Events (TLEs) such as blue jets and red sprites remains an active topic of research.
