    This is unreal.... I stood on this bridge and took this picture last week, Sunday to be exact. It's in the Sanxia District about 20 minutes by scooter from my apartment.

    This is the same bridge today, just to give you and idea the water is at least 35 meters deep (or 114 feet) and at least 90 meters wide (300 feet)

    This is a shot looking the other way...

    [​IMG]

    and here it is today looking at the same arched bridge.... I was speechless

    Easy, but almost impossible to get lots of volume. What you need is one of these puppies:

    This heat working its way east is the real deal. 98 today on my thermometer, tommorow looks like 95-97 as does Saturday. Sunday is looking like 99-101. It's mighty humid too.

    Brook. All reports say brilliant weekend. Perfect. Sunny low 70s. Remind me again Thursday. Will not be weather crazy til mid October. Sorry.

    CMAN. Although perfect weather....winds will be strong on Saturday and a bit less on Sunday. Waves above average. Choppy

    100 percent..in fact the storm to the south has now been modeled to go even a bit north..still probably great for the Jet game...but down towards Delaware and east from there off the Jersey coast? Here is the write up from the NWS for the Jersey coast and Delaware:

    AT LEAST TO THE LEHIGH VALLEY AND POINTS SOUTHEAST DURING THE DAY
    ON SUNDAY AND POSSIBLY LINGER INTO MONDAY, BUT FEEL ANY HEAVIER
    PRECIP SHOULD BE CONFINED TO DELMARVA AND COASTAL NJ SOUTHWARD.
    NORTHEAST WINDS MAY ALSO GUST 20 TO 25 MPH OVER THE LAND DURING
    DAY ON BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, WITH GUSTS 25 TO 35 MPH POSSIBLE
    ALONG THE COAST.
    WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE MID-
    WEEK, EXPECT GENERALLY FAIR WEATHER TUESDAY THRU THURSDAY.

    No way CMAN...stick to the following week!
