alwizard03 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Hey -alwizard, awesome photos of that sea funnel. It is called the Blue Grotto and its neat because the guys with the oars bring the Boat right up to the entrance of the Grotto .The Boat is to big to fit through unless you time it just right as the water reaches its crest or high point they start paddleing really hard and as it reaches its low point they shoot through the larger gap if they dont time it right it would likley suck bad.The water inside is crystal clear. I love Capri want to go back but there or so many places to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alwizard03 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Sorry oh well so now you get two explanations instead of one.We here in the Gulf of Mexico call them Water Spouts basically a Tornado/Twister over water most or less powerful than the ones that destroy Buildings on land but I am sure there are some exceptions to that rule.I have been on several Platforms where one would come right over us.Pretty scary but We are on a heavy steel structure so we have came out fine.I believe I have a few more photos that I have taken out in the Gulf during some of these somewhere in My junk I will look when I get Home.

brspled Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Poço Encantado - Chapada Diamantina, Brazil. One of the most beautiful places I have ever been to It's a cave and the water inside in crystal blue. When the sunlight shines inside it's just magic.

Virginia Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I love Lighthouses. Great picture Your Friend did a great job. Great lighthouse photos! I love lighthouses too; I have a couple of Harbor Lights replicas Sort of along those lines, I took this on our way out of Nags Head around 9am on 6/14; this was the smoke from the wild fires in the Dismal Swamp that was drifting over the OBX that week (taken from a moving car, so it was a little wobbly!): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadScreamingGallery Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 A fire 5 miles from our house: After taking water from ponds closer to the fire, a helicopter arrives here next to take water from our pond. The water is sucked up through the tube hanging from the helicopter: Although local people refer to it as a lake, we are from the northeast so to us it is just (at least in the summer and during a drought) an algae-covered pond on our southern property line, about 1 mile from our house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katydidgood Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 fly spring-geyser in nevada. They say one of these first erupted in 1967. others say early 60's either way, pretty freakin ironic huh?

Hotplant Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Wow, MSG, That is cool they can draw from the pond. Good to have around! Great pics. Katy, those are scary looking, but the geyser one is FUNNY the way you described it! Fires are everywhere right now. And mostly caused by Mother Nature herself, we just had one of those blasted pallet places blow up, leaving gastly air, and making it a red day. Meaning, if you have any breathing problems, they advise staying in. That sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadScreamingGallery Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Cool pictures but Fire can be bad news Thanks Al. Fire is bad news. My husband has gotten to know and works closely with the local firefighters. They are well trained, well supported, and have good equipment but when a fire is raging toward you, you have no choice but to evacuate. We calculated that we have about 6 off-road escape routes from here should the regular road become blocked. Are you in danger ? Those fires constantly change directions Not from that particular fire - it was put out before it was able to change direction and head this way but, out here, fires always pose a threat. I actually keep our essential papers in a small trunk in the event we have to evacuate. Wow, MSG, That is cool they can draw from the pond. Good to have around! Great pics. Thanks, Hotplant. That little pond is a blessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
