Note to Mods: The sun and earth are spheres which are turned on a lathe. This thread is therefore on topic.

Happy New Year Andy! You cropped that last picture a little too tight. I fixed it for you.

How many of you knew there used to be trees on the moon? :D

[Bob Noles]

Andy,

A most happy New Year to you. May it be your best yet.

[Andy Hoyt]

....How many of you knew there used to be trees on the moon? :D

Gee! That Jim Ketron is really getting some mileage outta that travelling chainsaw of his.

[John Hart]

The lunar deforestation is evidence that global warming is a planet killer. Who woulda thunk that Jim was at the root of all this? ;)

[Chris Barton]

Hmm, I got this new computer for Christmas and for some reason on certain posts I can't see the pictures. I'll take your word for it Andy, I have learned to trust you on these kind of things.

[Mark Cothren]

Great pictures Andy (and Loy - LOL)!

Happy New Year!

[Ken Fitzgerald]

I don't think Andy's on to something.....I think he's on something!

And Chris.......you'd trust Andy on what kind of things?


Happy New Year Andy!

Have you ever seen a sun pillar? When the air is cold and the Sun is rising or setting, falling ice crystals can reflect sunlight and create an unusual column of light. Ice sometimes forms flat, stop-sign shaped crystals as it falls from high-level clouds. Air resistance causes these crystals to lie nearly flat much of the time as they flutter to the ground. Sunlight reflects off crystals that are properly aligned, creating the sun-pillar effect. In the above picture taken late last month, a sun-pillar reflects light from a Sun setting over Bangor, Maine, USA

[Andy Hoyt]

Thanks, John. Now that's cool!

[Gary DeWitt]

Great pic, John. Here is another I took near mid day in Santa Cruz a few years ago, another ice phenomenon. I had seen this around the moon before, but NEVER around the sun!

Andy,
I can certainly identify with the second picture. It compares quite closely to one that I have in my "success" file. I purposely attached a mini-camera to one of the bowl blanks that I approached with a rather "aggressive" gouge. :eek: :) WHOOSH!! The beauty of my work should be obvious to all!! :cool: :)

Does anyone have a match for pink shingles with purple polka-dots? :confused: :)

Nice pictures, Andy, and a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOURS!! :)
