Does the island form something like a barrier to the open sea for the harbor?

Here's a picture I took many years ago, when we had few neighbors and the skies were still dark, except in the direction of Seattle, of course. It's very long distance, so doesn't have great resolution after I blew it up but... one can see in the upper left hand side, near the rising moon, a red little dot. That's the planet Mars.

Thanks for the scenes of San Diego. So much blue!

Just another hot sunny day here ...

Thanks for hosting Social, and enjoy the weekend all.

Great pixels SP! Can't believe how built up downtown is now. Gadzooks! That looks like a Torrey Pine behind the mermaid methinks? Coral trees are often great for birds, especially orioles hit them for nectar. Oriole on coral flower against blue sky works nice.

I had four C-130 blast over the house only 500' up, not 30 seconds apart, a couple days ago. Pretty sure the Russians are coming.

My Aunt lived in Moscow, I think in the late 70's or early 80's, editor for a publication. She spoke nothing but great respect and flowering praise for the place and people. She loved it there. So, I hope they are coming soon.

Be well all!

Hill Rising is MSM, that's what makes it notable
for a full week

The politics morning show “Rising,” produced by The Hill and which I currently co-host, was suspended by YouTube on Thursday for allegedly violating the platform’s rules around election misinformation. Two infractions were cited: First, the outlet posted the full video of former President Donald Trump’s recent speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference on its page. The speech, of course, was chock full of craziness. Second, “Rising” played a minutelong clip of Trump’s commentary on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which included the claim that none of it would have happened if not for a “rigged election.”
