Bombs Bursting in Air

Here you've got it. The real thing. Makes you think, doesn't it?

It's Krakatoa Day!

In honor of Krakatoa Day, I'm sharing these cool pictures of a volcanic eruption in Iceland. Iceland, 1973, Eldfjell Yowsers!

Happy Fourth of July!

Fireworks, lightning, and a comet! Who could ask for more? Sometimes the sky itself is the best show in town. On January 26, people from Perth, Australia gathered on a local beach to watch a sky light up with delights near and far. Nearby, fireworks exploded as part of Australia Day celebrations. On the far right, lightning from a thunderstorm flashed in the distance. Near the image center, though, seen through clouds, was the most unusual sight of all: Comet McNaught. The photogenic comet was so bright that it even remained visible though the din of Earthly flashes. (The above image is actually a three photograph panorama digitally processed to reduce red reflections from the exploding firework, click to enlarge it.)

Nature's Fireworks

Nobody does pyrotechnics quite as well as Mother Nature! WOW! (This is a nice big image for your desktop, click to enlarge it.)

Arial Fireworks

Actually this is not fireworks, they are flares... cool image, huh?

Happy Fourth of July!

Enjoy the firworks and have a great day!
