a few words about photography I didn't write.

Explanation: Normal cloud bottoms are flat. This is because moist warm air that rises and cools will condense into water droplets at a specific temperature, which usually corresponds to a very specific height. As water droplets grow, an opaque cloud forms. Under some conditions, however, cloud pockets can develop that contain large droplets of water or ice that fall into clear air as they evaporate. Such pockets may occur in turbulent air near a thunderstorm. Resulting mammatus clouds can appear especially dramatic if sunlit from the side. These mammatus clouds were photographed over Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada during the past summer.

Explanation: Have you ever seen a halo around the Moon? This fairly common sight occurs when high thin clouds containing millions of tiny ice crystals cover much of the sky. Each ice crystal acts like a miniature lens. Because most of the crystals have a similar elongated hexagonal shape, light entering one crystal face and exiting through the opposing face refracts 22 degrees, which corresponds to the radius of the Moon Halo. A similar Sun Halo may be visible during the day. The setting of the above picture is Athens, Greece. The distant planet Jupiter appears by chance on the halo's left. Exactly how ice-crystals form in clouds remains under investigation.

The USS Arizona, in the 1920s, and after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The USS Arizona was bombed in the 1941 attack, killing 1177 officers and crew. The wreck still lies at the bottom of Pearl Harbor.

That looks fake. Its colors are so different from what we are used to seeing.

I've been going through an Obama slide show over at Time, and it struck me that this signature looks like it's done by someone with Parkinson's disease. then I remembered they do that souvenir pen thing, where they draw a fraction of each letter of the signature with a different pen so they can use like 20 pens to sign a bill into law and give them away to VIPs.

Still, it looks funny.

Friend of mine is a flight attendant and is currently in Venice for a layover.
Took this shot of a boatyard in Venice. I could watch them for hours working on repairing the wooden gondolas.
