Clever Logos

  ~  

Do you see the arrow between the “E” and “x” ? I had never noticed it before.
 ~ 

The 2nd and 3rd "T's” are two people sharing (or fighting over) a tortilla over a bowl of salsa.

 ~ 

The world’s most famous bike race. The “R” in “Tour” is a cyclist. The yellow circle is the front wheel of a bicycle, the "O" is the back wheel.

 ~ 

The arrow means Amazon has everything from A to Z.

 ~ 

The gap between the “K” and the “I” is a sideways chocolate kiss.


 ~ 

There is a dancing bear above the "ble". Toblerone chocolate bars originated in Berne, Switzerland, whose symbol is the bear.   ~ 

See the “31” embedded in the “ BR”? Thirty one-derful flavors!

 ~ 

Northwest Airlines. The circle is a compass. The arrow in the upper left corner is pointing..NW

 ~  

See the gorilla and lioness facing each other?

 ~ 

The smiley half face is also a 'g".

 ~ 

The emblem for the Milwaukee Brewers. Baseball glove forms an “M” and a “B”. This Logo was designed by a college student.

Mt. Rainier Puts On A Show!

THIS IS AWESOME - 14,500 ft. 

 ~  

Some of us NOT living in Tacoma, 

Washington or surrounding areas will 

appreciate these pictures. Some of 

you who live in the Portland area 

may have seen this before? It was so 

amazing, people were pulling over 

on the freeway to take pictures.

 ~  

These are called "ventricular clouds". 

They're caused when the winds are 

just right, so when they flow over 

Mt. Rainier, the air gets pushed 

upward where it cools and condenses 

into clouds. Depending on the winds,

you can get some amazing cloud 

formations as you are seeing. 

 ~  

 ~  

It's usually a sign of rain within 24 

hours, because typically the moist flow 

that precedes a storm around there 

is the perfect set up for these clouds.

After reading the title, 

"Mt. Rainier puts on a Show"

I thought YES.... And 

 GOD was the Director! 

Does This Work For You?

1. Stare at the red dot on the girl’s nose for 30 seconds

2. Turn your eyes towards the wall/ceiling or somewhere else on a plain surface

3. Keep blinking your eyes quickly!

POWER OF THE STORM - Part 2

44 Ferocious Waves Attacking Lighthouses - Part 2 

  ~ 

When you don’t live close to a coastline or a major body of water, seeing the waves when you visit is exciting. But there are times when the waves turn into churning monsters of nature that attack man-made objects like lighthouses. Those exciting huge waves are then terrifyingly ferocious. Yet some people are held spellbound by nature’s fury. And some are amazingly brave and talented photographers who capture that perfect split second to share with us. Lighthouses are found worldwide, marking dangerous coastlines and lighting the way to safe harbor. Can you imagine being inside a lighthouse while nature is doing her stormy best to chew it up and destroy it with punishing waves? In this collection of fantastic photos, it’s nature vs man-made lighthouses and landmarks. It’s a struggle; the power of the storm’s ferocious waves are attacking the architecture of man. Which do you think will win? I love these pics! [22 More Photos in Part 2]

Gale force winds throughout the day churned up 

Lake Michigan and created high waves along 

the South Haven, Michigan shore. The 

 lighthouse tower is 35 feet tall (from the pier) 

another six feet to the water – making that 

splash around 50 feet tall.

Hide and Seek … Today’s puzzle – try to 

find the pier hidden in this picture. Hint: 

the glimpse of the lighthouse may be a clue.

Okay, not waves attacking in a power struggle 

against man-made lighthouses, but this shot 

was creepy cool. The photographer called it 

Sea Point Storm and wrote, “Pity that this came 

out blurred, but I was running at the time. 

Foam monster attacking the public.”

Amazing what kind of weather lighthouses have to 

endure. Equally amazing are the lighthouse 

keepers that are brave enough to live there!
