Well water that is frothy and bubbly and swirling is (I've read) softer on impact than still water.

Which just means you go through and hit the rocks.

Seriously, as Glatt points out, that is basically Russian Roulette. Or natural selection in action. I'll just watch, thanks.

Amazing.

****CORRECTION****

I think all those pictures but the dragon fly actually came from Boston.com's The Big Picture, '50 Best Photos From The Natural World'.

Sorry for any confusion.

Just cuz I like Jack.

Gravdigr · 12-21-2011, 02:47 PM

I'm wondering how he got such huge balls in such a tiny boat.

ZenGum · 01-26-2012, 11:24 PM

Plane, schmane. That is clearly the road markings for the new Highway to Heaven.

BigV · 01-31-2012, 04:07 PM

Looks like Rainbow Road to me, or at least a two lane blacktop back road on the same map.

I found the above image while trying to confirm this image. The file name indicates "ch47onmountrainier", but I could not find any picture of Mt. Rainier-terrain that looked like this.

Whatcha think? Is this is, or, is this ain't Mt Rainier?

Almost certainly Mount Rainier. Your picture was taken during the summer, since my picture was taken at the beginning of December. The sun is much further south in my picture. I was probably standing in the same place as the photographer of your shot was, Sunrise Tree Farm. It was a glorious, cold, clear morning. I can see trees in the foreground that look very similar. I didn't have a shot at the sun/mountain/clouds/shadow like that other photographer did. Awesome shot.

As for your second picture, that doesn't look like Mount Rainier to me either. Principally because the summit is covered with glaciers, no glaciers in your shot. Also, it is a National Park, not really training ground for military forces. But, there are sometimes rescues of hikers/climbers who need transport off the mountain, and the National Guard does fly there on such occasions, though rarely.

V may know - I think he has hiked it a time or 200

xoxoxoBruce · 02-01-2012, 06:15 PM

I doubt that's Rainier, as the mountain is in a heavily used National Park. They wouldn't be doing military training there. The sunrise could very well be Rainier, however.

classicman · 02-01-2012, 08:53 PM

Thanks V - I knew you'd know.

Oh, and Grav... I'm pretty sure I found the site that hosted that image and

Assuming you mean the Chinook pic, I checked, and, I got it from Ernie's House of Whoop-Ass.

The sunset one I found in a Google search. No telling.
