I see the smoke trail from a ghostly 10 wheeler.

That's a very nice image! It's almost as if the more you look the more there is to see.

Re: Change Of Pace - Steamtrains - 04-24-2009

I echo Ralph's comment...Stunning, indeed....

So, where were you when you took that pic..??? 357

A great photo indeed.
I'll show my antipodean ignorance and ask the dumb question ..."What is it?" and can you see it with the naked eye?
And I see a dog, but I had better be careful because it may be a psychiatrists' drawing, and all sorts of inferences may be had if you say the wrong thing. Misngth

Hi Guys, especially our American friends,

Thanks for contributing your tax dollars so that I can enjoy these great pics.....grin

MM's post was the April 23rd Astronomy picture of the day and the US taxpayers generosity will get you a new incredible one every day. Here's what it's all about;

http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/lib/about_apod.html

They have been doing this since June 16 1995: 'Neutron Star Earth' so going through the archives is going to take a while...a very enjoyable while though

I have an RSS feed on Firefox on my Linux box and an APOD widget on my Mac.
APOD don't start your day without it.

Tony.

Truly beautiful pictures. What really amazes me is that even a z scale model of either of those, would be many times larger than our solar system! Eek
I feel humbled in the presence of such vastness.
