This was forwarded by a friend. Her grandmother had a cousin
living in Niagara Falls that year. She told the family that she and her neighbors woke up in the night feeling something was wrong.
It took a while but they finally realized that it was the lack of noise. They had all become so used to the roar of the falls that the silence was unusual enough to alert their senses. Of course at that time nearly all the houses were near the falls. Amazing pictures! Almost 100 years old. Can you imagine walking on Niagara falls ?

Dog Pack Attacks Gator In Florida
At times nature can be cruel, but there is also a raw beauty,
and even a certain justice manifested within that cruelty.
The alligator, one of the oldest and ultimate predators,
normally considered the ‘apex predator,’ can still fall
victim to implemented ‘team work’ strategy,
made possible due to the tight knit social structure
and ’survival of the pack mentality’ bred into the canines.
See the remarkable photograph below courtesy of Nature Magazine.
Note that the Alpha dog has a muzzle hold on the gator preventing it
from breathing, while another dog has a hold on the tail to keep it
from thrashing. The third dog attacks the soft underbelly of the gator.
Not for the squeamish!
Caught 1-1/2 miles offshore while Fishing! (After the fires in Southern California.)Look what the fire brought!
What is that?! Look in the middle.
Can it be, really?!!!! Look 1/3 down.
It’s a DEER!!! Son of a gun!!!
Not too much of a struggle. Poor guy!!!
He was very glad to be on board. No doubt!!!
He was soooo tired and was glad to get into our boat and rest!
And yes, we turned him loose when we got back to the shore.
Just try beating this Fish Story!
Icebergs in the Antarctic area sometimes have stripes formed by layers of snow that react to different conditions. Blue stripes are often created when a crevice in the ice sheet fills up with melt water and freezes so quickly that no bubbles form.
When an iceberg falls into the sea, a layer of salty seawater can freeze to the underside. If this is rich in algae, it can form a green stripe. Brown, black and yellow lines are caused by sediment, picked up when the ice sheet grinds downhill towards the sea.
Antarctica Frozen Wave Pics – Nature is amazing!
Just look at how the wave froze in mid-air!!!
The water froze the instant the wave broke through the ice. That’s what it is like in Antarctica where it is the coldest weather in decades. Water freezes the instant it comes in contact with the air. The temperature of the water is already some degrees below freezing.
Having the Internet means that we get to see something that we never imagined! Pass it on for others to enjoy!
Taken from world’s tallest building ‘Burj Dubai’
at 2,620 ft!!!
The persons who are working on the upper most Girders can see the ‘ROTATION OF EARTH’, so terrifying. . .
Look at the edge (uppermost right corner) of the picture; you can almost see the turn of the earth.
THIS IS A FIRE RAINBOW – THE RAREST OF ALL NATURALLY OCCURRING ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENA.
THE PICTURE WAS CAPTURED THIS WEEK ON THE IDAHO / WASHINGTON BORDER. THE EVENT LASTED ABOUT 1 HOUR.
CLOUDS HAVE TO BE CIRRUS, AT LEAST 20K FEET IN THE AIR, WITH JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF ICE CRYSTALS AND THE SUN HAS TO HIT THE CLOUDS AT PRECISELY 58 DEGREES.
