The Hubble Space Telescope is celebrating its 32nd birthday with a stunning look at an unusual close-knit collection of five galaxies, called the Hickson Compact Group 40. This snapshot reflects a special moment in their lifetimes as they fall together before they merge.

that white band is special. if your interested good info available from a lecture series by Nick Zentner from Central Washington State lecture believe it's called Nick on the Rocks
PNW has an amazing geological history and your right in the centre of it.
Central Oregon has many unique Geological formations. Smith Rock can be seen from my front yard & the Cascades from the back yard.

My favorite place is the John Day fossil beds.

Mt Hood Timberline last Friday. 25 degrees on arrival, 30ish when we left at 1300. The Palmer lift won't be open for awhile yet. Copious amounts of snow.

Lookout Pass ski area, on the ID/MT boarder; pretty sure this is part of the new part that gets a lift for next season.
