1/11/2003: Iced harbor

MSNBC Week in Pics has been weak in pics recently, but did come up with this beauty yesterday. This is dawn in Hamburg, Germany where they have had a cold streak this week.

What a great combination of textures and colors.

That's kind of wild...it looks like something out of a movie.

That, my friend, is where windshields go to die.

Reminds me why I live in Texas, I mowed my lawn the other day and had to put on the AC for awhile the other night.

Re: 1/11/2003: Iced harbor

I was born in Hamburg. Neat.

Chrisinhouston: I was about to ask you what part of Texas, then I smacked myself. I've lived in Washington all my life, most of it to the left of the Cascades. I did spend 6 years in Wenatchee [eastern part of WA state]; that was a fairly neat experience. You're 12 miles away from Mission Ridge, and right next to the Columbia river. I remember it being either 0 degrees or 100 degrees (F). It was a dry heat or cold, though, and that's what made it nice. Sometimes I wish I was back there.

Oh yeah, the Cashmere river would freeze from the bottom upward. There was some scientific explaination for it, but I can't recall it now.
