One night around 3 AM I heard an unusual noise in the kitchen

Throughout Portland there are older streets which still have horse rings on the curb. As a part of something called "The Horse Project", people will attach toy horses to these and take a picture. We ran across this one on our neighborhood walk recently.

Charlotte is my favorite Eastern city. I spent many weeks there at Lance.
I just realized that I pass the Lance facility on South Blvd. when I ride into town on the light rail, after parking at the I-485 station. It's right next to the Sharon Road West station. I remember seeing the logo on the building last week. Was that where you were?

But in Dutch Harbor, Eagles everywhere! And they are not afraid of humans. You can even try to pet one if you don't like all of your fingers.
That is amazing! I see great photo opportunities there. If I was there, I would put a camera with a tele lens (135, 200 or 300 mm) on a tripod, and settle down some distance away to try to get nice close-ups of the eagles. :smile: And the background scenery looks very nice too.

Sure enough. I spent two or three weeks there several times.

You can just walk up and take a photo too. Like I said, you can literally try to pet them but they will bite off your finger!

That is so cool! It almost looks unreal.

I would place myself some distance away because I like having ten fingers. :smile:

? To what do you refer? May be an optical illusion.

I'm hoping not since the last I saw they were heading out to sea.

At first that looked like missing panels in the bow, and you can see inside it:

But from the other picture that you posted in the other thread, it looks more like some goofy recessed area that might be for holding the anchor? It sure doesn't look like a clean feature that you would want on your bow as you try to cleanly cut through the water at high speed, IMO. But I'm not a boat guy...

Ah, yes the anchors are essentially flush when retracted.

Here's a beautiful picture I found of a root bridge in Maghalaya, India (its between Bangladesh and Bhutan. I have some Danio maghalaensis fish from there).
