Two (American bald) eagles cavorting (high) above our driveway a few weeks ago. By the time I realized they were in fact eagles and not just turkey vultures, and I went inside, got the camera, put the long lens on it, and schlepped it back outside... they'd circled up to a pretty great height -- so, unfortunately, not a great photo.

Still, it's unusal to see two at once by our house (a few miles - as the eagle flies ;) - from the Connecticut River, a zone which is fairly rife with eagles nowadays).

What’s all this about putting our wives in danger?

One thing to love about New England trails. If you’re lost, take the path of most resistance. 9 times outta ten, that is the trail.
Acadia National Park, Maine, Pemetic Mountain...mid September.

Somes Sound as viewed from Acadia Mountain.

We spent three weeks in Acadia National Park on Mt Desert Island, Maine....the one vacation we refused to cancel. Went post Labor Day weekend, (off peak) as Acadia is generally a very crowded park, and will even be starting a reservation system next year.
Had to quarantine for two weeks...but we could still hike and the Walmart in Ellsworth would take our on line grocery order, do the shopping for us and pack everything in the back of our SUV. We rent the same VRBO every year, do all our own cooking...and this year we drove and brought the entire wine cellar with us. It was awesome. Did miss my audio system though... ; )

Being from Australia, and considerate to my new northern friends, this one I put through a hemisphere compensation filter...

It did occur to me after i posted this, that some may be in the Southern hemisphere. So to view this as it was taken you can,
1, use a mirror in the horizontal plane.
2, Stand on your head.
or 3, turn you screen or laptop upside down. Note, this does not work with tablets, they will uncompensate your compensation for the compensated image. :)

What I expect would bother me about being in the Southern Hemisphere, would be how the Sun would rise on the right and set on the left, instead of the correct way.

I do like your maps, though:

Other than that, the most disorienting sunrise for me occurred on a flight from Chicago to Hong Kong in 2001, over the North Pole in late December.

It rose due south.

The next thing that bothered me was that we were flying directly towards Siberia and China, and I hadn't realized the Russians had opened their airspace to commercial traffic yet.

I know the thread said just a few words, but I have to ask... Where did you get an atlas with everything the right way up, including the words...:). because I tried the obvious.. Adanac, didnt cut it...

Too bad the map's (still) a Mercator projection -- were it not, it'd be even more disorenting to Amurricans (and Europeans, too, for that matter). :)

The United States is not shaped that way.

This just makes me want a globe. Maps are OK for a few thousand miles across, but for the whole earth, a globe is superior.
