Blades of eutrophy cut two ways.

Those leaves could be harvested, incinerated to generate electricity (waste heat used to dry them) and the phosphate and potassium residue sequestered in the leaves removed from the lake and or reused upstream.

Ann Althouse કહ્યું...

It's not eutrophy. It's a carefully tended reflecting pond.

OK. But what I said applies to what floats on your lakes.

Just letting the conservation flow...

Another jigsaw puzzle for DBQ. Gorgeous.

I love gold bars

The golden edge reflections with the water are really interesting. But in a painting you might reject it as unreal. In the photograph you notice it but figure (I am assuming) it was some optical effect of the moment.

I am wondering if you saw it like that photograph depicts when you took the picture, or if he was an effect from the camera?

edutcher કહ્યું...

Hate to say it, but not much is gonna flow through there.

PS Agree with tg. That really is nice and the photo is composed in such a way that it has that Impressionist feel to it.

Nicely done.

Althouse cuts through legal edicts with the precision of a scrollsaw.

deborah કહ્યું...

Fred, it immediately reminded me of this Althouse photo:

That's a fine compliment, chick, especially considering you're a lawyer.

Not true! I just hang around them and help.

deborah કહ્યું...

My reading retention has failed me!

Triangle Man કહ્યું...

Those look like FASCIST card carrying NRA lilly pads hypocritically decrying supposed violent imagery.

Fred4Pres કહ્યું...

deborah, you mean the leaves on the car hood (I am assuming)? I do not see it there as much. But Ann does take a lot of pond shots that get some unusual reflections. But sometimes I wonder if it is interesting distortion from the camera or an optical effect you would see in person (assuming you were standing in the same place, spot and time).

અજ્ઞાત કહ્યું...

Wisconsin is so very beautiful. I went on pilgrimage (from Florida) to Ashland, Ws to visit the grave of Tom Blake (influential surfer from the 1920's and 30's) and then on to the west coast. Scenic. I wonder what it's like in the winter? June was gorgeous.

અજ્ઞાત કહ્યું...

Is that a snake?...I think I saw a snake!

deborah કહ્યું...

I'm batting zero in this thread...I thought those leaves were on water that she had caught at just the right angle and lighting.

deborah કહ્યું...

I mean, it seemed as if some of the leaf edges were held up by surface tension...

I'm certain you are correct.

deborah કહ્યું...

lol thanks, chick, but I think it's a car.

Whatever. I guess I trusted Althouse. :(

deborah કહ્યું...

Did she say somewhere it was water?

deborah કહ્યું...

Well, darn, I mean the car is wet, but it's not a bird bath, etc.

Ann Althouse કહ્યું...

The old pic is leaves on my car.

chickelit કહ્યું...

@deborah:
I was only referring to the present pic. I didn't look at older ones.

Sorry for the confusion.

I didn't realize lily pads overlap so much.

Only the maxi-sized ones do that.

Sounds like it's getting litigated if you're proofing a deposition.

The truth will out.

edutcher કહ્યું...

It's a comment on something, I'm sure, but the news comes that Hugo Chavez, after all that time in Cuba getting that free government health care Michael Moore thinks is so great, is in kidney failure.

Make of that what you will.

traditionalguy કહ્યું...

Sixty grit...That was horrible.

Now, get a trial lawyer and pray that Rick Perry doesn't win.

How else do you get their attention?

Fred4Pres કહ્યું...

Sixty Grit. It is stories like that that make you want to strangle idiots who claim the only way to "save" the medical insurance industry is to ban lawsuits.

I have no problem at all making the standard for medical malpractice high. It should be. People die (especially sick people) and doctors should not be blamed for that--that is why we have doctors (to help sick people). But when you have such clear negligence, it is critical that there be accountability. Otherwise there is zero incentive to change it.

And I say that as a conservative.

And I know there are hucksters and shysters. But less of them now a days than you think.

Phil 314 કહ્યું...

I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us — don't tell!
They'd banish us; you know!

How dreary to be somebody!
How public like a frog
To tell one's name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!

this segment seems a bit padded and flat.

Topping it could be a skygarden complete with trees adding a splash of greenery to Newcastle's otherwise grey skyline. It will be connected to two shorter buildings via a collection of skybridges.
