Thanks for posting that up Pete, Jeannie and I passed a field of citron yellow on our way through Canada to New York at the end of May and it was almost breathtaking but we had no clue what it was until now.

I took this picture a few months ago. Sleepy little hamlet in western NY.

There is a little farm on the lower right, a paved road in front of it, going up a gentle hill to the left middle. Elevation change is about 60 ft. The treeline is at the crest of the hill.

Lake Tonawanda.jpg


My point? That hill is the southern shoreline of ancient Lake Tonawanda. 12,000 years ago it drained into Lake Iroquois, the "father" of current lake Ontario.

There are even waterfalls (middle of the diagram) cut into the limestone where Lake Tonawanda drained out over the Niagara Escarpment (like the Niagara River did when it created the Falls -- which are steadily moving SOUTH from the Escarpment).

12,000 years ago, where I took that photo was 60 feet underwater. There are also 400 million year old marine fossils at the the top of that little hill in a sleepy little Western NY town.

I'll stop screwin' up this post with this .. its just interesting things are ALL around us if geology interests you :).
 
In the Pink? Weatherwise that is :)

This morning, horsing around reading the paper, I hear weathercaster say "Wow, look at that. Pink sky, Pink river.

No camera nearby, so DVR back, and take a picture of the screen. It's not that great but (looked better to the naked eye) .. but you get it.

Downtown Detroit, from Windsor. Pinkish sky, Detroit River reflecting the sky. Unretouched -- i just cropped it to show the TV screen.

I live 25 miles north of downtown Detroit. So what's it look like in my backyard?

Grayish sky, pink halo, orange yellow and what looks like two Suns coming up. Photos are of course looking south easterly -- Winter Solstice coming up in less than a month. These first two pics were a little over a minute apart.

A few minutes later (5 mins I guess) the last photo below it was all over. Only a hint of the colors, from just a few minutes before. remained as the weather front moved in.

Nice! I saw that this morning as well. There have actually been nice sunrises almost every morning this fall.
