Free online jigsaw puzzle of the beautiful red and white Hornby Lighthouse on South Head, New South Wales, Australia at dawn. The lighthouse is still in use.
I love this puzzle! It reminds me of the pictures of lighthouses I have seen from the Maryland coast where my mother was born. When she passed my brothers and I picked a urn that was shaped like a lighthouse to represent where she was born.
That whitish mound at waters edge looked like snow but you don't get snow in Australia at all do you? I love that time of day when the sky goes blue-violet and you get that soft peachy pink glow along the horizon.
Those are small waves breaking and foaming at the base of the lighthouse.

I'm sure you're right. I looked up New South Wales to see if they ever get snow and they have but not much and not often. The chance that would be unmelted snow at water's edge when the grass is clear mitigates against snow.
Beautiful lighthouse and even in Australia 1197 kms from where I live.

I do hope that everyone in the USA affected by the earthquake is safe.
I'm not sure how far the epicenter was from Kansas City, but, my bed moved back and forth at first from north to south a few times and then moved a little from east to west. At first, I thought that a large truck was nearby, but then I realized that I didn't hear an engine.

It was a 5.6 near Pawnee OK - about 140 miles south of me. VERY scary - the whole house shook, practically threw me off my chair, knocked a picture off a shelf (which fell to the floor & broke the frame). Hubby was in the garage and said the doors all rattled like crazy and his first thought was that a sudden 100 mph wind had just come up.

Just seems to be it's reasonable that if we continue taking gas out of the earth, something has to be put back, even if it is us or our houses or what ever. It can't sit there hollow forever.

Oklahoma wasn't known for earthquakes (nor was Texas or Ohio) until we started a lot of fracking. When you pull stuff out of the ground, unless it's encased in solid rock, everything above that removed material no longer has something to support it - that's the reason for filling those spaces with water (and a bunch of undisclosed chemicals). However, if that water seeps out of the area where it replaced the gas (lighter than water and air), that is quite possibly the reason behind these earthquakes.

Hi JamieT--hope you're still around. I pray against fracking every night. To me it's like sitting on a tree branch you are sawing off on the trunk side. It's suicide.
