I receive quite a few emails with lots of cool, funny and sometimes inspiring photos.  The problem is that email is not the best way to look at a series of photos.

Blue stripes are often created when a crevice in the ice sheet fills up with meltwater and freezes so quickly that no bubbles form. When an iceberg falls into the sea, a layer of salty seawater can freeze to the underside. If this is rich in algae, it can form a Green stripe. Brown, black and yellow lines are caused by sediment, picked up when the ice sheet grinds downhill towards the sea.<br \/>\n<iframe scrolling=\"no\" onload=\"this.style.height=(this.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight+20)+'px';\" style=\"border-style:none;width:100%\" src=\"\/php\/badges.php?desc=Striped Iceburgs\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am creating a new section of the web site related to slide shows.
