READ THIS BEFORE WATCHING THE VIDEO
World
Air Traffic one minute video...(24 hours condensed to 1 minute)
This is a fascinating one-minute video...
It is
a 24-hour observation of all of the large aircraft flights in the world
(recorded by the airplane flight transponders via Geo-stationary orbital
satellites) patched together and condensed to about a minute, i.e., you watch
24 hours of flights compressed into one minute.
You can see it is summer in the north by the location of sunlight on the planet.
With this 24-hour observation of aircraft travel on the earth's surface, we also get to see the daylight pattern move across the
planet. “ Note the intensity of traffic in London Heathrow Airport”
Notice the reduction of activity in each region during the darkness
of late night/early morning.

Guys,
Tweet Deck is a software that makes Tweeting a little easier. If you were ignorant like me and havn’t tried it out yourself, you can try it out here. And I will check it out, once I reach a personal computer that I can actually call, personal. It would be great , if you could drop in your twitter usernames in the comment section.

Rainbow at Elam Bend - Missouri
|
February 2, 2006 Rainbow at Elam Bend (McFall, Missouri)
Photos taken by Dan Bush of Albany, Missouri (Here 'I' 'Me' refer to Dan Bush)
 As I pulled the truck up next to one of my favorite trees I looked over my left shoulder and there sat the most vivid rainbow that I had ever seen. It appeared to me to be about a 100 yards away or maybe even closer. I was unable to get a great shot at first. I couldn't get out of the truck with the camera because it was still raining fairly hard. I didn't want to get water on my lenses. notice that the sky inside of a rainbow is much brighter than the area outside  This is a close-up of the photo above. It shows the apparent close proximity of the right flank of the rainbow. That tree line is about 1500 feet away from me as measured on an aerial photo. I have never seen a rainbow this close before other than one created by artificial sources of water such as a garden hose or sprinkler.  A fisheye lens view of the rainbow including the old tree near the road. The hill behind me put part of my surroundings in shadow. This was my first ever shot of a complete rainbow. No other camera or lens that I have ever owned was capable of taking such a shot where both flanks of the rainbow were seen all the way down to the ground. As an added attraction this was a double rainbow.  This is a photo of the left flank of the rainbow. The rain had moved beyond the tree line at this point. These tall trees are on the southern bank of the Grand River as it runs to the east near Elam Bend.  I moved closer to the tree with the fisheye lens for this composition. The secondary rainbow is still there but is disappearing fairly quickly.  As the rain moved on and the rainbow dissipated the view was still picturesque to the east. Notice that a small portion of the rainbow (primary and secondary) is still visible on either side of the tree paralleling the trunk..  A ghostly red hue lit up the landscape as the sun disappeared below the horizon.  Above view of the old tree with the sunset behind it. This ended my photo sequence for this evening  This is a summertime view of the same tree at Elam Bend shot in 2005. The name "Elam Bend" is a place name that describes the bend in the Grand River that occurs here. The river has changed its course in this area including a major shift as a result of the flooding in 1993. This area is also listed in the book Geologic Wonders and Curiosities of Missouri as a "shut-in" where the river valley narrows considerably with bluffs very near the river |
