NASA's Photo of the Day for November 26th, 2010
November 26, 2010 4:32 PMImage taken from NASA's website.
NASA website comments:
A beautifully clear day over Canada allowed the Moderate Resolution
Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard the Aqua satellite to capture
several striking multiple true-color images of the island of
Newfoundland on November 12, 2010. Off the west coast, the island is
separated from the Canadian mainland by the Gulf of St. Lawrence and, at
the narrow northernmost point, the Strait of Belle Isle, while all the
other Newfoundland coasts face the Atlantic Ocean. Near the northern
tip of the eastern most peninsula, the city of St. John's is visible as a
long gray smudge on the land. ![]()

Paradise pole problem ...
November 22, 2010 3:51 PMUmmm, seen readily admits it's no expert in street
design and construction, but this can't be the safest placement for utility
poles at Topsail Road and McNamara Drive through Paradise, can it?

Double meaning
November 17, 2010 11:56 AMseen found this sign in downtown St. John's this morning. It's one of those signs that bears a second read, and that's the way it's intended.

A question
November 5, 2010 11:51 AMSteve Dicker sent in this picture and wants to know: Whose lane is it anyway? Just west of Whitbourne the road signs at the passing lane tell two different stories. The first sign tells you that the passing lane ends in 300m (the correct sign), yet at the end of the lane another sign tells you that the right lane ends. Obviously, the road goes on, so both lanes cannot end. When one driver fails to yield for the other because the signs contradict each other, an accident waits to happen.![]()
