Eye of the beholder

With salt piles like this, who needs the Grand Canyon? Early rays transform Eastern Minerals across the street into a natural wonder.

Reminds us of Lott's wife: A column of salt, in this case being unloaded from the bulk carrier Rodanthi under the flag of Malta, Korean Register of Shipping

It looks as if this ship has been a naughty girl:

22 recorded deficiencies. Fire main isolating valves seized. Emergency escape from pipe tunnel permanently secured. Chain locker doors and fosc’le hatch not fully dogged. EPIRB non operational. Crew members medical certificates expired. Crew training in lifeboat drill inadequate.

A ship is only as good as the man behind the wheel.

One day short of a mile, the Wolf Moon -- waning gibbous with 96% of the Moon's visible disk illuminated -- framed by winter branches of our native Black Cherry (Prunus serotina) -- setting in the west early morning.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and your eye finds outstanding beauty in the everyday world under the sun and the moon.

Kind of reminds me of a certain sweet little girl:

Into the undergrowth
