Awesome pictures from around the world | Vivi The Mage
Someone sent me these in a chain email, it was horribly formatted. I also do not know who made the comments, or how accurate they are. I take zero credit in the pictures, I just wanted to compile them nicely for all to see. The world’s highest chained carousel, located in Vienna, the height of 117 meters.
Old Man of the Lake
Picture of the "Old Man of the Lake" (September 13, 2005). The Old Man of the Lake is the name given to a 30-foot (9 m) tall tree stump, most likely a hemlock , which has been bobbing vertically in Oregon 's Crater Lake since at least 1896. At the waterline, the stump is about 2 feet (60 cm) in diameter and stands approximately 4 feet (120 cm) above the water. The surface has been bleached white by the elements. The exposed end of the floating tree is splintered and worn but wide and buoyant enough to support a person's weight. [ 1 ] Fontinalis , a moss that is present in the waters of Crater Lake at a depth of 394 feet (120 m), also grows on the Old Man of the Lake, the only place the moss is found near the surface. [ 2 ]

The exposed rock of the summit is limestone and dolomite, about 300 million years old. There are two main trails to Timpanogos, which will take one from alpine meadows to above the tree line.
