This occurred last Monday, July 31, when it was low in the sky (and orange). It was full the next night.

The rare "blue moon" - "once in a blue moon" (which isn't blue) - is on August 30. All "blue moon" means is that it's the second full moon in the calendar month.

OK - as I wrote to everyone I sent this to:


This one's a monster! (take small bites)

(Assuming that it doesn't rain, chances are that the fireworks will NOT start at 4pm)

I've lost some very nice views from home over the years - the Bergen County Courthouse, the entire Kipps Bend section of the Hackensack River - and "progress" is about to take two more cherished views: one internationally-known and one local...........both "courtesy" of the project bordered by Main St, Berry St, State St and Camden St (MBSC).

I've made blowups of both, so click each to fully-enlarge and then start scrolling laterally.

1. The first one - and most heartbreaking to lose - is the World Trade Center. Here's where things stand now.

2. The second is the very distinctive cupola of the Johnson Public Library. The addition of one more floor oughta kill that view.

Looking at that picture, it appears that I've been spotted by the worker in the white hard hat. But that's not very likely when you look at the third picture.

This is a very wide PANO shot that shows the red-circled living room window where I shoot from on the left and the tall MBSC crane on the far right, so unless he's got the eyes of a hawk.................

Today's not as bad as yesterday, but.............yikes!

These pictures were all taken from home yesterday.

1. The sun over Sears against beautiful (cough, cough) gray skies.

2. A closeup of the sun shows a couple of sunspots.

3,4,5. The sun struggles through the haze to illuminate small parts of cars.

6. You can barely see the hospital and the high rises in this 3-image orange photo stitch.

1. Somebody got caught off-guard........

2. The video:


3. The Manhattan lightning strikes.........

4. I found an online post and pic about lightning striking the Chrysler Building yesterday. This may actually be the second bolt you see in the above lightning strikes. That one definitely hit something and appears to be bouncing off it.

5. These two images show the construction site bordered by Main, Berry, State and Camden streets and - as it says on the pic, they were taken 8 minutes apart.


Anybody got any storm or hail damage pix from Friday?
