    I put in this modern style pond in the back yard a few months ago. My cat figures it to be the world's largest water bowl.

    (Rapid City, South Dakota) I took my two Labradors for a walk last night at about 7:30 and came across this sight. While these photographs are not as beautiful as the others on this thread, the view of the sun in real-time was amazing. I grabbed my I-Phone with one hand to try to take a few pictures as I held on to the dog leashes with the other (obviously they weren't interested in the same thing I was). These photos do not do the real sight justice. The sun had a perfect reddish-yellow glow due to the haze off in the horizon. It wasn't the eclipse but it was nevertheless a reminder about the beauty of the world. Have a great day, gentlemen.

    Limes Germanicus
    by Johan Thole, on Flickr

    The photo may be boring but the location is cool; this was the border of the Roman empire.

    The grass lane follows the course of the "Limes Germanicus", which was a Roman outer border road, connecting the fortifications on the border.
    It was mainly used by patrolling troops. Here is some more info on the Limes Germanicus:

    Took my youngest back to school at Gettysburg College this morning. When I was done helping him hump his stuff up to the 3rd flr., I went out to the battlefield and took some pics with my iPhone:

    That is an amazing place to behold when you ponder the significance of that 3 day battle. Thank you for sharing those photos!

    This part of the campus is called the Ford Complex. The money to build it was given to Martha Berry from Henry Ford, who was a big believer in her educational paradigm. Students who didn't have the money could work at the colleges farm and earn their education. They still do that today.
