Tranquil view.

MD, personally I've always worried more about pollution in the oceans ... if the oceans die, we die. :( I never really give as much thought to space junk, probably because the majority of it burns up in the atmosphere before it reaches the ground.

Trix... thanks for that.... such a lot of rubbish flying round. I have to laugh at part of the link. "The Soviets launched the first, Sputnik 1, just to prove they could. 4 months later the US responded with Explorer 1." Like children. Anything you can do, we can do better, and more often, and more expensive... so there! :D
Mira... I don't worry too much about all the underwater clutter but that stuff in the sky.... what goes up will come down!

Yikes! No wonder I see so many "falling stars" on clear nights! :0
Mira Bilis... until I came across Opentopia I never took much notice of weather across the world. Being able to see the places makes it so much more interesting. That link had plenty of items for me to look at. I never knew about that aircraft that's been flying round for 2 years. So much clutter in space. Drop a cigarette stub on the floor and there's a £70 fine. Fling stuff into space and that's ok. I'm not saying that plane is litter but there is plenty of scrap up in the sky.
Jime ...... where are you?
Here is another nice view from Maui http://nest.com/video/live/live-from-maui/
This hotel is almost next door to the one Jime will be staying at ... we should have told him to wave from the beach here. :)
Bright moon.
Mira ... that's not looking good at all. The palms are already blowing about like crazy.
Looks like Hawaii will be getting some storm action again ... http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/

Beautiful. Right now there is one lonely sailboat crossing.

Beautiful fog over the water view.
Looks like the predicted bad weather is on its way. :(
