We went to Slate Run Metro Park, the zoo, and Highbanks Metro Park today, and I took over 300 pictures -- green herons, sandhill cranes, wood ducks, manatees, flamingoes, bonobos, eagles, etc. -- and yet this cast sculpture of Woody Hayes, standing in the bed of a truck in the parking lot at the zoo, strapped down tight and praying we won't make another bonehead play, was by far the weirdest thing we saw.
I'll get some of the animal shots posted tomorrow.
The centerpiece of Rockefeller Center is the 70-floor, 872-foot GE Building at 30 Rockefeller Plaza ("30 Rock"), formerly known as the RCA Building. It's sunken plaza is famous for a wintertime skating rink and Christmas tree.
Unlike most other Art Deco towers built during the 1930s, the GE Building was constructed as a slab with a flat roof, where the Center's newly renovated observation deck, the Top of the Rock is located, which was first built in 1933.
Bronze 'Prometheus Bound' sculpture by Steve Lincoln Hubber. As good scrappers we couldn't resist this photo opportunity with the Ancient Greek rebel!

So lucky to get the light on this. An hour later, the sun had moved and the statue was in darkness.
Saturn's moon Prometheus continues its dance with the planet's F ring,
creating channels in the ring and streamers of extracted ring material as
a result.
To watch a movie of this process, see PIA08397.
The potato-shaped Prometheus (86 kilometers, or 53 miles across) is
overexposed in this image. Bright points of light in the image are stars.
This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about 54
degrees above the ringplane. The image was taken in visible light with the
Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on April 16, 2009. The view was
obtained at a distance of approximately 1.3 million kilometers (808,000
miles) from Saturn and at a Sun-Saturn-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 99
degrees. Image scale is 8 kilometers (5 miles) per pixel.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European
Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages
the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The
Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and
assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center is based at the Space
Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.

This 1.4km-long cave at Kumistavi, 20km northwest of Kutaisi, is a succession of six large chambers followed by a 400m-long underground lake. Sections are truly impressive, and the guided visits along a well-made concrete path are enhanced by discreet coloured lighting and a little background classical music. Children under six years are not allowed in the cave.
Marshrutka 30 runs from the west end of Kutaisi’s Tsiteli Khidi (Red Bridge) to the spa town of Tskaltubo (1 GEL, 30 minutes), where marshrutka 42 continues 8km to Prometheus Cave (1.50 GEL, 20 minutes) every hour or two.
