As I wheeled my bike into the office apartment to get showered and changed, I saw this posted in the elevator. Bicycles are now prohibited from the entrance and elevator. Whoops.
This was a first attempt at "photo elastisity." I don't have a full understanding how the color happens but it has to do with using a computer screen for a background, a polarizer on the camera and transparent plastic for subject matter.
Because of the lava at the surface of the crater and the large amounts of SO2 outgassing, half the crater rim drive was closed as well as all Kilauea crater trails.

I awake each day with a smile
And greet it with a laugh;
The world is a treasure to me
Because of you.
Every time I think of something sad,
I replace the thought- with you!
My mind is instantly changed
And my heart is filled with gladness.
Every breath I take is meant for you,
I live this life surrounded in joy
And I bathe in the promise of your love,
My soul belongs to you.
Each time I see something beautiful
I want to take it and bring it to you;
My life has so much meaning now
All because of you.
Dedicated To; Roحy - حyaTi -HeaرTy
i Just Love Being With you
[i Love youh]

... the beaches are not that wide open any more. Sand bags are necessary to keep the sand from washing away into the ocean. :(
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District and stakeholder Flood Control District of Maricopa County completed Adobe Dam in 1982 to protect local communities from storm flows along Skunk Creek, in northwest metro.
Because of the Hedgpeth Hills petroglyphs, the project incorporated guidelines from the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. The Act states in part, "the historical and cultural foundations of the Nation should be preserved as a living part of our community life and development in order to give a sense of orientation to the American people."
"We had archeologists on-site supervising the care of the petroglyphs," said Mike Ternak, the Corps embankment engineer in 1982. "Each boulder was wrapped and carefully moved, ultimately to a warehouse, during construction of the dam."
According to an Arizona State University School of Human Evolution and Social Change brochure, only boulders from where the dam intersected with the hills were moved. The remainder of artifacts at the Deer Valley Petroglyph Preserve are in their original location along the preserve's trail. DVPP is operated by the ASU Center for Archaeology and Society.
In addition to the dam, the Arizona Canal Diversion Channel was built to intercept flood flows from the north and move them to New River and ultimately the Agua Fria River. Before ACDC, flood flows from irrigation channels built in the 1880's would overtop causing severe flooding in the city of Phoenix.
"When we built the dam there was virtually no development downstream or upstream of the dam," said Ternak. "Today the area downstream of the dam is highly urbanized."
Corps records indicate that the June 22, 1972 flood is the largest pre-ACDC flood for which a detailed record of damages is available. The 1972 flood caused roughly $11 million in damages, $61 million in today's dollars.
Ternak adds, "Adobe Dam is a perfect representation of how a flood control project can allow for low flood risk development and provide recreational opportunities. The area upstream of the dam is a wonderful recreation area that includes a model airplane airfield, a kart racing track, a paintball complex, a golf course, ball fields, and a water park."
The EPA evacuated the town of Times Beach in early 1983 because of dioxin contamination and turned it into a Superfund Site. It seems that the contractor hired by the town from 1972 to 1976 to spread oil on the roads in the area in order to keep the dust down obtained his waste oil for spreading from some would say less-than-thorough sources who supplied him with oil that was a byproduct Agent Orange production. Some of the oil he spread during his tenure at the job contained levels of dioxin 2,000 times greater than that of Agent Orange. He also spread the stuff in various horse stables. The poor man has to be the embodiment of the phrase 'blissfully ignorant' - the contractors name was Russel Bliss.
In that tradition of turning lemons into lemonade (or perhaps government debacle) the State of Missouri has turned the former town into Route 66 State Park. None of the buildings from the town exist today. Hopefully none of the contaminated dirt, either. Allegedly a safe place to visit.

A magical melee of flight shapes and winter sunshine - a most enjoyable combination!
Best viewed on black or in a larger size.
.......because of the shape of the roof. Our former combination sauna and guest house reflected in the lake.
Because brands, shapes, colours, fabrics, height and weight don't matter as long as you know how to wear it...
These guys here know how to work it!! :P
The pic was uploaded on July 14th but it was actually taken on the 13th so that's valid I guess :) I got home too late tonight and it was already past midnight!
