Now back on topic.

 

Hunter Valley before sunrise looking west under low cloud cover.

@dljbsp What has got you confused about the picture?

 

The picture is showing the amount of light pollution of the open cut coal mines that are in the western part of the Hunter Valley. There is more light to the west of of me then I can see to the east of me, where there is Newcastle city which is the second most population city in NSW.

 

In the below satellite picture, all the areas that are basically below Muswellbrook to the south east and west of Cessnock are open cut coal mines. I live somewhere in that dark patch in between.

We often joke that in the heart of the Hunter Valley the sun never sets.

 

This morning looking to the east just before sunrise.

 

 

Now looking west at the same time.

The GUANGZHOU HIGHWAY ship goes by on the Columbia River. This is a vehicle carrier. Some of these ships can hold up to 7,000 vehicles. The logistics of loading is amazing. Look up some videos on Youtube.

One of my projects at home that I am doing, making some pads for a shipping container to sit on, so it is off the ground making it level as well, using some car rims and concrete.

 

First cut off an extra piece off another rim to make the the pad height that I need.

 

Aligning the rims edge to edge.

 

Welded the rims together

 

Clean the welds up as well as the rust of.

 

Added a piece of heavy duty square tube to be the structural piece for the container to sit on, as well to be the funnel for the concrete to inserted to fill the bottom half of the rim.

 

Clamp the rim to a piece of formply and used hot glue to seal the bottom edge to prevent the water from drianing out.

 

The rim filled with concrete and cured. (This rim is one I had done before the one above).

They look so cute. Not like the Possums we have around here in Oklahoma.

We had fog this morning. It was interesting to see some low clouds/fog above the Columbia River this evening around 5pm when Debbie and I took our walk. A small survey ship goes in front of a car carrier and a bulk freighter.

My house in the new world will be by the water.  Maybe I'll live in a houseboat. What a nice Pic.

Is this too sacrilegious?

As long as it's not Jesus who takes the selfie... Besides, I suspect Simon Peter, I don't know why...🤔

 

Hope my comment isn't too sacrilegious either.

Good point. I did not stop to count - or even look closely at the 'selfie'.
If Jesus is at the head of the table,
thenthere are only 10 'disciples'.
And the first on the right is wearing glasses. Lol
This 'selfie' is post 1280 CE. Which makes sense. Cameras were not around in the 1st century either...
