And you took it. It will be shared a zillion times. Great work. Thanks for sharing

my thumb all too often, lol. I can only dream about having the talent to take photos like this.

I can't even copy and paste CBC photos from articles for some reason and this definitely needs to be seen!

have different ways to capture pictures

But DU uses a comment system which requires a URL. So I think the easiest might be to right click on the picture you want, and look thrugh the dropdown menu to see whether there is a command to "Copy Image URL" Easiest and also fastest.

That's unlike, for instance, Disqus, which requires that the image be saved somwhere on your hardware - the main hard drive, a portable hard drive, even a thumb drive will do, but it has to be on your computer.

Different commenting systems work differently. I'm used to a few of them but not all of them.

I will try your suggestions for sure. I can copy and paste most things but not CBC photos and it could well be I'm using the wrong command to do so.

you don't want to mess with Poseidon.

My bachelor's was in classical languaes, and I love this.

And apparently legit, not photoshopped.

and took him thousands of photos to capture this perfection, that is both great talent and great patience.

That's New Horizons Pluto geography and Seinfeld was off the air by then?

I very, very vaguely remember the original after reading that link - thanks again!

(and now I'm curious as to why someone post-2016 spliced in an animation of Pluto. I mean, what was the context?)

Automatic button presser.

All large navigable waters. Looks pissed.

I went out fishing with some pals on Lake Erie once, felt like those pictures look.

and other times it is calm and smooth as glass, with barely a ripple.

The answer is blowin' in the wind.......

in late fall. Shallow and warm(ish) waters, plus wind result in one hell of a lot of snow. Some places got 7 feet last week.

Congrats to the photographer who took this absolutely stunning pic!

stands for "Western NY." I am not in Buffalo, but near there. I grew up on Lake Erie at Erie, PA, which is about 100 miles west of Buffalo. Sometimes, before cable TV, we could get TV stations from across the lake at London, Ontario, where the photographer in the OP took his photos. Also, I lived for 5 years in Cleveland, which is around 100 miles west of Erie on Lake Erie.

I have seen many storms on the lake and many calm, glassy days at the beaches on Lake Erie.

during a field service job I did in Kane, PA back in the 90s. I had to drive to Warren one evening to pick up an air freight package during a snow storm. The snow "flakes" looked as big as golf balls and blinded me through the windshield but thank goodness, I made it back to Kane. The Tennessee boy will never forget that experience. If we had just ground cover there just every few winters in the 50s/60s, it was huge news on the Nashville networks.

By far the worst winter job I ever did was in Lorain, Ohio in a steel mill with every damn thing on the job site covered with about an inch of solid ice. Lots of slips and falls among the construction crews, most of whom were from the South.

Small world!

They are too far inland to call it lake effect snow. At Warren it's due to being in the Allegheny foothills.

Lorain, Ohio - When I lived in the Cleveland area, it was at the far western suburb of Westlake, on the edge of Cuyahoga County. So I'm familiar with Lorain. Yes, they get their share of snow and ice. At Westlake, we often missed the worst winter and even summer storms. Storm clouds would lift and blow over us to the eastern and southern suburbs. The exception was the Ohio blizzard of 1978, which hit most of the state. We were the first area of Cuyahoga County to get it and it remains the worst winter storm that I have ever experienced in my life.

Rec

and probably didn't last longer than a few milliseconds, so it's an amazing shot.

great talent and incredible timing combined to create this moment. Breathtaking.

... I can't look at a picture like this and NOT see a face. It's annoying that my brain FORCES this interpretation on me, against the reality of what is actually there. I stare at it and try to make the face go away. It doesn't. Very annoying.

... Where is burnt toast jebus?

Thanks for sharing. My husband and I are thrilled when one of us sees a thing with a face.

As in....

Did he mean to say, "a poodle he knows, whose name was Poseidon," do you think? (Not to minimize the wonder of the shot!)

When I was in junior high, a social studies teacher on the second floor of the building saw a funnel cloud through his window, to the north of the school and raised the alarm for a tornado. We all scrambled to our designated safe places.

It turned out to be a large water spout on the lake, not a tornado.
