Re: Gumbo's Pic of the Day, Mar.4th 2014: Dubai Water Taxi
It's a great image, Islandman! I really enjoy photos of people going about their every day lives in different locations about the world, a reminder to me how much more alike we all are than different. This photo is made more interesting by their obviously ethnic diversity -- people who have come to Dubai for a good job and to improve their lot in life. The contrast of the old wooden taxi and modern skyscrapers in the background is great!

I know it's high up, but there is still an awful lot of snow up there. What time of year did you take the photos, Samantha?

Re: May 10, 2017: Frozen Lake - Clear Creek County, Colorado
Is this a location that stays frozen for most of the year ? It's unusual to see winter holding its grip until May.

Re: May 10, 2017: Frozen Lake - Clear Creek County, Colorado
HI Garry, I am not really sure. However we were pretty high up (over 8000 feet) so I think it probably does most of the year. I will let you know if we go back sometime this summer

Re: May 10, 2017: Frozen Lake - Clear Creek County, Colorado
Most of these high altitude lakes remain frozen most of the year. While it's further north, I am very familiar with Lake Louise in the Alberta Rockies. While at only 5200 ft above sea level, it receives a heavy snow fall and the ice remains on the lake until well into June, returning in the early fall. Hiking in the area is really limited to June, July and early September (unless you hike slogging through snow and slush)

Great piece! One of my favorite things in California was taking a bike ride along the beach and seeing that side of LAX. The best part is it's pretty empty!

On my visits to Florida - from the UK - I've seen many references to the Seminole Indians. Do they still exist ?

Re: Micanopy, Florida (Where Gumbo Was #165)
You are right Garry, a lot places, teams ,etc. are named after the Seminole in Florida. This is what shows online for the Seminole Tribe in Florida. http://www.semtribe.com/

Re: Micanopy, Florida (Where Gumbo Was #165)
Thanks Rob. Now I know why the Seminoles are hard to find. Heavy stuff indeed.

Re: A California Gallery: The Ruth Bancroft Garden
Fabulous pictures ! I love plants in general - they have to find a way to live where they land. Spent many years in cold Arctic desert (AK, Scandi), and also hot deserts from Morocco all the way across to the Thar. Adaptations are a delight for anyone into environmental science but also for insight into how humans used, copied and survived thanks to the plant life
