Yes… I had looked for the file extensions… The other day you did a top animation by posting an IBB link instead of a WP upload… This one is the latter. Animations seen to sometimes work that way, and used to always, but maybe not for a while.
The forum links have both been IBB links, which apparently started delivering animations again.
But some people might not see those, so I thought you still wanted a report on what was visible to us.
It’s weird, though, that both places go in and out of showing animation.
The Northern lights, above Austnesfjorden,Norway (close to Svolvear on the Lofoten islands…. just in case you were planning a trip.)
Taken by Max Reve, in March, 2014.
i found a site where Reve describes the shoot.
It took three days, using Google maps, GPS and weather data, to plan, set up, and get the perfect shot. Reve and his camera are actually only 20 meters below the peak, which looks taller because it’s so slender.
Look carefully … I searched for the story, not just the location, because I noticed that there’s someone standing on the peak, arms outstretched.
Reve said he asked his friend Phillippe Bouillard, to climb up to the top, “And when you see the lights, raise your arms.”
“Ornithological symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven” … Oil on canvas, Victory Molev.
I didn’t see a date, but pretty recent, cos the original was for sale on one site, rolled, unframed and unstretched, which seems strange, for $1,050.00
I was probably older than you, cos my mother didn’t let us cook or bake till I was 15 or 16, though she had me decorate birthday cakes younger, something she didn’t like doing.
I made cookies once at 15 when my parents were out, trying to surprise her … but I burnt them to a crisp.
Next was a (successful) pineapple upside down cake, like the above, for her birthday.
I remember when I was a teenager, I wanted to surprise my parents after returning from taking care of my paternal grandparents’ grave.
I made cream puffs – a family friend (50 years older than me) who visited in their absence said “Oh no! Can’t be! Much too complicated!”
They turned out nicely.
I’ve made plenty of nice cream puffs in my life… but later.
You see, my mother had to do a lot of chores, growing up, as the 2nd youngest of nine children, with a wide age spread.
I think that was one reason she didn’t want her children to do any of that. She also felt like it was all her job.
I actually wished she’d taught me a bit more about housekeeping… But we didn’t make our own beds or wash dishes till my early teens.
I never mopped a floor at home, wasn’t allowed to cook, and only allowed to start baking occasionally a year or two before I moved out at 17.
In college some Chinese friends taught me to cook before I learned most American cooking.
By 20, I was cooking for my then college boyfriend every day, on an extremely limited budget. In those days it was considered quite exotic that I sometimes cooked (rather Americanized, due to ingredients) Chinese food.
One Mother’s day, as a young adult, I brought my mom a jar of jam I made. She was totally confused. I’ll never forget. I didn’t expect, “But why would you make me jam?”

Alarm! Crocodiles swim in flooded city: “Crocodiles are truly everywhere.” Large areas of northern Australia are flooded after heavy rains. Police warn that hungry crocodiles could appear everywhere.
Heavy rains have caused severe flooding in northern Australia. Now, police are raising the alarm: it’s because of crocodiles. Entire neighborhoods are under water, and authorities are warning people to stay away from flooded streets. This disaster is still unfolding. It’s estimated that over 100,000 of these dangerous reptiles live in the most affected region alone. In the Northern Territory, emergency services are issuing urgent warnings not to enter the water. “Crocodiles are truly everywhere,” said Deputy Chief Operating Officer Shaun Gill. His message is clear: “Please don’t go in the water.” The floods are causing rivers to overflow, pushing water into new areas. This can lead to the sudden appearance of reptiles in places they normally aren’t found, such as drainage ditches, tributaries, or even flooded roads. Katherine residents are also reporting encounters with the animals on social media. One woman described seeing a crocodile swimming along the road. The region was hit by heavy rains over the weekend. Katherine is currently experiencing its worst flooding in 25 years. More than a thousand people have had to be evacuated in the Northern Territory. Helicopters and planes have been deployed to remote communities. Since the beginning of March, heavy rains in northern Australia have caused water levels to rise, notes Giovanni D’Agata, president of the “Sportello dei Diritti” (Rights Desk). The Katherine River reached 19.2 meters on Saturday evening, the highest level since the devastating floods of 1998, which claimed three lives. The Daly River also continues to rise and could exceed 15.3 meters by mid-March. Books & Literature

Yep…. Tonight the top gif isn’t giffing.
I can see it, but no animation.
This (IBB) one is working fine for me.
Agreed
Same here.
no, this is WordPress comments section’s .gif display.
they just won’t let it animate up top–only in comments

That was not who I was expecting!!!
He’s thinking about getting a bigger boat … you never know .
Whoa… I didn’t recognize him either….
Then again, to me, he’s always been a bit of a chameleon.
I haven’t seen most of his movies, just a couple, plus bits and clips here and there, and sometimes have to realize halfway through that it’s him.
I remember when I thought author and playwright Robert Shaw was not the same person as the actor…. but he was indeed both.
And he had ten children.

Thanks… That tells us it hasn’t disappeared since 2007, but unfortunately, neither link describes what it looks like or shows an image.
You’re welcome.
I suspect the whole avenue is being redeveloped.
I could try to find it, it’s only a little over 20 min. from my house
Sounds like fun, to me.
Of course, it could turn out to be just an ordinary hardware or building supply store nowadays.
Then again, I like those too.

Empire State building, taken from New Jersey, ca 1930.
A few sites said 1941 but there are late 30s pics with taller buildings, so I believe the ones that either say 1930, or early 30s.

This is where you put pineapple.
Cake.
Pineapple upside down cake. Mmmmmm.
Sweet. Round. Goes in the oven.
Do not get mixed up and put pineapple on a savory round thing that goes in the oven. Not the same at all.
Bigger, flatter… has cheese and tomato sauce. Not pineapple.
Or a campfire, if you have a Dutch Oven.
My favorite. Hard to resist.
The first cake I’ve ever baked.
Mine too!
