Aerial Photos Of The Bakken

What a great way to start the morning -- a new set of photos from Vern Whitten. Take a look at #22 from this set: http://www.vernwhittenphotography.net/wes214/. I count about eight (8) flares and easily that many more possible flares. I particularly enjoyed the photographs taken after the sun had set.

Mr Whitten also included a set of incredible photographs of the North Dakota badlands.

His photos would make great gifts; great for business offices around the Bakken. More can be seen at his website.

Minor Note For What It's Worth

Under President Obama, the US gives up "control" of the internet. Passes the baton to some EU-dominated organization. This guy will go down as the worse president this country has ever seen. At the link:

U.S. officials set several conditions and an indeterminate timeline for the transition from federal government authority, saying a new oversight system must be developed and win the trust of crucial stakeholders around the world. An international meeting to discuss the future of Internet is scheduled to start on March 23 in Singapore.

The move’s critics called the decision hasty and politically tinged, and voiced significant doubts about the fitness of ICANN to operate without U.S. oversight and beyond the bounds of U.S. law.

This must be a continuation of the Obama Apology Tour.
