Reconnecting with Canada The North


Worth buying this video and sitting back in the warmth of your home watching  the Curbsyde Team of Joe & Flora Lloyd, Paul Mondor and Jesse Clark on their personal journeys to Tuktoyaktuk in the middle of winter on two BMW F800GS bikes.  I am going to have to review this video one day from an amateur’s preservative.  Very well done, HD, and as always in Joe and Flora’s videos you will learn something about the history and culture where they ride to and from.

80 Days – 8,000 Photos (Trey Ratcliff)


I recently got back from another around-the-world trip, and I decided to do something a little different this time. I took them and assembled them into this rapid-fire video… See “The-Making-Of” video of this at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kHtuGEhXpQ

Normally, I post one new photo per day on http://www.StuckInCustoms.com , so I thought this would be a nice way to mix it up.

THE MOST INCREDIBLE AURORA OF 2012


SOURCE:  TWISTED SIFTER

In this absolutely incredible image by Jónína Óskarsdóttir, we see an aurora spotted on March 8, 2012, shimmering over snow-covered mountains in Faskrudsfjordur, Iceland. Geomagnetic storms due to coronal mass ejections (CMEs) earlier in the week have increased in strength, and are now rated a G3 on a scale from G1 to G5.

This space weather is due to the March 7 activity from the sun that caused rapid changes to the shape of Earth’s magnetosphere – the bubble of protective magnetic fields surrounding the planet — resulting in a geomagnetic storm. As of March 8, the storm was fairly mild since the magnetic fields from the CMEs were partially aligned with Earth’s own and thus slid around the magnetosphere.
