Rare Photos
Mt. St. Helens at sunrise
Mt. St. Helens continues to spew ash, while it is forming
a lava dome in the crater and still having minor tremors.
Here in this sunrise shot above and below, she appears to be
blowing smoke rings (and anything so benign is welcomed,
given recent history).
What forms the "smoke rings" is the air flowing over
the mountain getting pushed up higher as it goes up and over
the top. The moisture content and initial temperature are just
right so that the moisture condenses from a vapor to small
particles at the higher altitude. When the moving air moves past
the peak and comes down again, the particles evaporate back to
an invisible vapor.
The two "pancakes" describe that there are two layers of air for
which this is happening, thus making these awesome pictures
possible.
NORTH POLE MOON
A scene you will probably never get to see, so
take a moment and enjoy God at work at the North Pole.
This is the sunset at the North Pole with the moon
at its closest point. And, you also see the sun
below the moon. An amazing photo and not one
easily duplicated.
You may want to save this and pass on to others.
Can You Guess What This Is?
It's a Coconut Crab climbing a tree.
The coconut crab climbs coconut palms to get at
coconuts, which it breaks open with its powerful
pincers and eats. It is found on the islands of
the South Pacific and Indian oceans.
Hurricane Katrina Over Mississippi
These pictures below were made by a man in Magee , MS .
where the eye of the storm passed thru.
