Imprint of Leaf in Concrete Google Reverse image

Recently I tried out google's reverse image search tool for the first time to find out details about some plant based on the pictures of flower in bloom.

I couldn't find the answer quickly enough. But I thought it was a cool tool.

Then I decided to search an old picture from flickr on a whim and lo-and-behold, I stumble upon it being used in an Irish architectural blog. Isn't that cool?

When I discovered it, there was no attribution, but after I sent an email, they responded promptly and cited my flickr :). I had posted it on flickr many years ago with a  Attribution-Noncommercial-ShareAlike license.

Here is a snapshot of both on same screen.

Here is a short url if you want to copy this map: https://goo.gl/maps/j6EPu

Another "Historic" Storm

The sensationalist media stories never end. Granted one or two of these might really be big storms, but they do overdo this discussion and 24/7 coverage.

Anyhow, it is always good to be prepared:

Ok so this one was in Oregon (not Northeast), but the only reason I added this was because a place named Happy Valley, OR has been referenced in there!!
