  • Arizona. Lightning. Time exposure image of lightning strikes over Tucson, Arizona, USA..The silhouette of a giant saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is in the foreground at right and left. Car tail light trails are also seen in the foreground. Lightning occurs when a large electrical charge builds up in a cloud, probably due to the friction of water and ice particles. The charge induces an opposite charge on the ground, and a few leader electrons travel to the ground. When one makes contact, there is a huge backflow of energy up the path of the electron. This produces a bright flash of light, and temperatures of up to 30,000 degrees Celsius. Photographed in Tucson, Arizona, USA. .

  • BASE jumper parachuting from 900-foot New River Gorge bridge on Bridge Day in West Virginia, USA. BASE jumping is the sport of using a parachute to jump from fixed objects. "BASE" is an acronym that stands for the four categories of objects from which one can jump; (B)uilding, (A)ntenna (an uninhabited tower such as an aerial mast), (S)pan (a bridge, arch or dome), and (E)arth (a cliff or other natural formation). BASE jumping is much more dangerous than skydiving from aircraft and is currently regarded as a fringe extreme sport. -from Wikipedia.

  • Solar energy: .UEC (United Energy Corporation of Hawaii) Solar Facility in Borrego Springs, California uses both photovoltaic  and solar thermal systems. What makes their operation unique is that they use 3 acre round ponds to float their solar arrays on. The ponds act as a frictionless water bearing so that it requires very little energy to have the whole surface of the pond rotate to face the sun as it moves east to west. A series of small motors tilt the individual rows of the arrays to track the sun vertically as well. They use hot water from one type of array to run a huge still, which produces alcohol from molasses. So far there are 18 ponds. Borrego Springs, California (1990).

  • Aerial photograph of the San Andreas Fault in California as it crosses the Carrizo Plain. The Earth's crust is fractured into a series of "plates" that have been moving very slowly over the Earth's surface for millions of years. Two of these moving plates meet in western California; the boundary between them is the San Andreas fault. The Pacific Plate (on the west) moves northwestward relative to the North American Plate (on the east), causing earthquakes along the fault. The San Andreas is the "master" fault of an intricate fault network that cuts through rocks of the California coastal region.
