Billed as the largest free nautical event in the world, Sail Amsterdam is a quinquennial gathering of 600+ boats and tall ships that sail in a circuit in the Netherland’s North Sea Canal before mooring in Amsterdam. According to the NL Times a record-breaking 2.7 million people arrived to watch the 2015 edition of the maritime spectacle that included at least 50 tall ships and hundreds of smaller watercraft. This aerial photo and a timelapse filmed by Boyd Baptist really captures the enormity of the event.

Wow! and I thought it was crowded going through the Ballard locks in Seattle.

[Qapla]

I wonder, is that whole armada a "no wake" event?

[kejedo]

MEN! 

AMEN!

I think if you were to hang this picture upsidedown, nobody would even notice.

I think that I shall never see

a thing with more tenacity

than a tree...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Trees

BY JOYCE KILMER

I think that I shall never see

A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest

Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,

And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in Summer wear

A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;

Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,

But only God can make a tree.

The 250,000 varieties of flowers did not just happen. They are an expression of the love that our Creator, Jehovah God, has for the human family. And although the earth today is marred by man, the time is soon coming when it will be restored to the Paradise that God purposed for it. Then, as God’s inspired Word foretells:

“The wilderness and the parched land will exult, And the desert plain will be joyful and blossom as the saffron. 2  Without fail it will blossom; It will rejoice and shout for joy. The glory of Leb′a·non will be given to it, The splendor of Car′mel and of Shar′on. They will see the glory of Jehovah, the splendor of our God..”—Isaiah 35:1, 2

I was right!

NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of Earth and the moon transiting the sun together on September 13, 2015. The edge of Earth is near the top of the frame. The moon’s edge – crisp, because it has no atmosphere – is on the left. Image via NASA/SDO

This past Sunday (September 13, 2015) was a partial eclipse of the sun as seen from parts of South Africa and Antarctica. At the same time, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) – a satellite in geosynchronous orbit around Earth – caught a rare double eclipse of the sun, first by Earth and then by the moon. NASA said that SDO sees dozens of Earth eclipses and several lunar transits each year from its vantage point in space. This is the first time it has seen two happening at once! 

SDO has been observing the sun since 2010. It’s in a circular, geosynchronous orbit at an altitude of 22,238 miles (35,789 kilometers) above Earth. That precise distance above Earth allows SDO to make one complete path around our planet every 24 hours. It means SDO stays in one spot in our sky. More importantly, SDO’s orbit gives it an unobstructed view of the sun, usually.
