Seeing Double

Many apologies for the lack of new material the last several days, but the unfortunate fact is this: lack of recent travel has resulted in a lack of new pictures. In the meantime, consider the following: stereo picture pairs. It's something I learned about in one of my meteorology classes I took in college taught by Dr. Alastair Fraser. What you see are two pictures stitched side by side, but if you look at them just right, they merge into a 3-D stereoscopic picture. For instructions on how to do it, click here (follow the steps for cross-eyed viewing). For best results, click on the picture for the full size version. Good luck, and do let me know if you like it.

Hurricane Rita

Hard to say exactly what my feelings are. Since Katrina, following storms doesn't have quite the appeal that it used to. But we must be vigilant, we must be ready to help where it is needed. Hurricane Rita was upgraded today to Category 5, which if we've learned anything about hurricanes, makes it a very nasty and potentially very deadly storm. More

Nature's Grand Canvas

I love taking pictures of the clouds. Must be my background in meteorology. And my love of flying. These were taken as we were dodging thunderstorms during descent into Houston.

There To Lend A Hand

It's been more than two weeks since Hurricane Katrina swept across Louisiana and Mississippi, leaving thousands of people homeless. Let us not forget that thousands of people remain without permanent shelter and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Let's also not forget that thousands of relief workers and volunteers are giving their all to help out their fellow citizens. I was on a train in Houston this week and I grabbed this shot of an unidentified Red Cross volunteer giving some comfort to a gentleman displaced by the storm. I am sure there are countless acts of kindness happening every day to help these folks. Have you made your contribution?
