Bill Laughing-Bear
Our friend in Alaska, Bill's mother sent this in this morning, I think it deserves a place in the picture of the day!
William Laughing-Bear, a retired military veteran, fulfilled his life-long dream when he relocated from the Pacific Northwest to Alaska in the fall of 2002 to live a primitive lifestyle keeping first things first, one day at a time, and to take up dog mushing. Bill reports for The Big Wobble. Here

Photo Of The Day: Mysterious Purple cloud appears over my house and moves from West to North: I'm sure it's not Aurora Borealis or Airglow can anyone tell me what it is?
This picture was taken last night by a photographer friend of mine, Patrick Sinot, it shows what can only be described as a purple aura above the houses the direction of the aura is West. Patrick sent me the photo's asking me if I knew what it could be. My first reaction was it could be Aurora Borealis as there was a small solar storm last night but then I realised Holland is too far South anyway to see the Aurora Borealis. My next thought was airglow, but when I checked, I realised airglow is red or green and not purple so, no airglow.

Skywatchers from Saudi Arabia and Oman to India and Singapore were treated to a rare "ring of fire" solar eclipse on December the 26th. Annular eclipses occur when the Moon is not close enough to the Earth to completely obscure the Sun, leaving a thin ring of the solar disc visible.
Elias Chasiotis who took these remarkable photos has allowed The Big Wobble to post his work.
Photo of the day! From pristine blue sky to sickly yellow in 30 minutes: Chemtrails above North Holland
Yesterday I decided to sit in the garden and catch my first vitamin D rays of 2019.
Around 12: pm, I sat in a comfy chair ready to enjoy a lazy Sunday afternoon in the garden.
Within minutes the pristine blue sky began to turn a sickly yellow as lines and lines of chemtrails appeared almost simultaneously, within half an hour the sun had been blotted out completely.
As 2018 is set to be the hottest year ever Europe is beginning to parch from the lack of water after 50 days without rainfall
As June is expected to be named the hottest June ever on this planet and July going the same way and 2018 set to be the hottest year ever Europe is beginning to parch from the lack of water
After what seems like weeks without rainfall this is what grass looks like in North Holland after the incredible heatwave which has gripped the UK and Western and Northern Europe recently.
Reservoirs are running dry after a 50-day dry spell while global temperatures rocket.

Earlier this month we noticed a female Blackbird hanging around under our conservatory in the back garden.
She was incredibly tame and totally unfazed by being around humans and we soon realised she was building a nest just 1 meter above our dining table, see picture below.

Photo Of The Day! The legendary phantom ghost ship "The Flying Dutchman" snapped in the port of Alkmaar Saturday
Ghost ship...A tall ship moored in Alkmaar port on a foggy January morning last weekend, the eerie photo was taken with my cell phone.
The ship resembled The Flying Dutchman (Dutch: De Vliegende Hollander), which is a legendary ghost ship that can never make port and is doomed to sail the oceans forever.
The myth is likely to have originated from the 17th-century golden age of the Dutch East India Company (VOC).
Photo of the day: More spectacular rainbows over Alkmaar North Holland
I was visiting a friend this week on the 6th floor of an apartment block when we were suddenly confronted with an enormous rainbow.
Picture of the day: A double rainbow caught in a winter sky.
I have seen pictures of double rainbows before but I have never seen one in nature, I took this on my mobile phone this afternoon and although the picture doesn't catch the brightness of the rainbows very well the double rainbow is clear to see, it was spectacular to see even though I got a soaking taking the picture.

This time of the year where I live, just north of Amsterdam on the Dutch West Coast we are usually inundated with tourists from all over Europe but not this year. Libertine, tolerant and free Amsterdam is at this moment just like the rest of the world, empty. The cannabis selling coffee shops, sex-shops and bars have all been closed down due to the coronavirus, these places are only used by tourists anyway.
