Hello all, Geez, I don't get around here much lately so it's quite a pleasant surprise to see so many favourable comments. <cheers> Yes, it was the solstice sunrise last december. The witches, wizards, druids and other pagans of Nova Scotia make their way to the shoreline just before sunrise and some of the more radical anachronists even bring their cameras. <biggrin> The blue streak that looks a bit like the death ray from the film "Independence Day" was something I'd never seen before. Like so many of nature's special phenoms, it was at once awesome and dreadful. Maybe it's some sunrise equilavent (in a vertical way) of that horizontal green flash thingy that happens at sunset. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/atmos/redsun.html and http://mintaka.sdsu.edu/GF/ Cheers, ~jwf~
I just wish they were sharper... Damn my camera and damn Picasa.... I just wish they would post the winners of the contest I entered for the Canon cameras.
So glad he is ok, and hope he is recovering. Looks like a bit of a character!!!

Makes me think of an inscription at an old wall in Utrecht (center of The Netherlands),about 1600. Above the inscription in the wall, you can see the head of a strong man, holding a stone ball between his hands, while underneath there is a gate to leave or enter the building.
"Not every threat that seems to happen, wíll happen".
Photo is really very suggestive.
