On the mid-Atlantic seacoast, we didn't even get sunlight until the mid-1930s. Here's a postcard showing one of the last tests before they brought it up to full power.
But as you can see Virginia Beach already had color. It's a resort town, and without color the salt water taffy wouldn't look nearly as appetizing.
not as tasty-looking when desaturated

Is the Thames still open??Whoomph wrote:I lived here also,
the colours were only like this some days,
other days they were even more erm... trippy !?
I thought it was closed due to pollution (something to do with some 'cholera' thingie wasn't it?)
Anyway, I'm glad they re-opened it.

I'm pleased to report that Lake Erie no longer catches fire. (It really did catch fire back in the olden dayes of unregulated industrial discharge and other traditional family values.)

Ah, so you know the story of Croatan. :-} Yes, the Unincorporated Territory is adjacent to* Dare County, North Carolina, which includes Roanoke Island. (That's the island up there between the wooded bit of mainland and the row of three resort towns.)herodotus wrote:Well, that explains Virginia Dare doesn't it?

When we finally got a colour tv I remember being very disapointed by the colours they used as the ones I had imagined were much better....
My dad said the boxing was better .."You could see the blood " uck uck!
MMMmmmm that taffy sure does look good , I'll have a green one with a yellow dot thank-you
I thought croatan was much further north

Yes by the looks of the photo above they took all of the polluted water out and filled it with pee, much more hygenic now ..herodotus wrote:

Croatan's warm in summer, cold in winter. South, but not Deep South.
The place where I did live (this stuff's all from real life) was one county north of Dare, up in Currituck County, nearly to the Virginia state line. Looked the same, just completely empty of buildings besides our trailer-on-stilts, and most of the time empty of people besides us.
We did get the occasional dolphins... and of course the wild horses. They're the descendants of horses dumped from Spanish ships in distress, or ones that swam ashore from wrecks. They've lived on the Outer Banks for centuries -- no fences, you see, and they don't care to go east (ocean) or west (a broad sound of water), so they stay more or less put and range north and south.
A large herd of wild horses usually stayed more or less around our place... that is, within five to ten miles of it. :-D Some of them were friendly, but they would not accept a rider (I can attest to this; owtch).
Some of them were unfriendly, especially toward rivals. You really haven't lived until you've been shocked awake by the sound of horses screaming just outside your window -- as a lone stallion tries to steal mares from the herd alpha, who fights back! =O.o= Talk about flashing hooves and gnashing teeth. They fought dirty.

Hmmmm... Previously using a moog modular and trying to mount a wild horse, (I bet you stayed on the Moog a lot longer)
There's a pattern emerging here don't you think :0
And occasional dolphins yes these guys are great , in my experience they sometimes follow along(parrallel) as you walk/drive along the beach ...

heee hee
(not that I don't believe you, it's the way you said it )
When I lived in "The Burren" County Clare (west Coast of Ireland)(see picture on earlier page )
no one believes this here in Australia but in the atlantic on that side there were
dolphins seals and even migratory whales. And as we lived so close to the water these guys presence was ever noticable .
We lived so close to the water that the bath tub menioned earlier floated away once, I got it back though BBBRRRR! and in the process had a rather close encounter with a cheeky dolphin who swam directly under me most of the way.
No wild horses though .. there was a goat(wild) or two who stopped by to try our veggies.. hmmph!.
Those spanish huh? they left their mark on the Irish west coast too, with people this time though (spanish armada wrecks) . It's quite funny to meet the decendents, brown skinned black haired brown eyed people with the strongest Irish brogue you could ever imagine.
back to horses though
I met a lovely young(less than one year old)horse last week-end actually, passing through the only back street of a one horse town way out west (pun not intended as there were a few people with horses in their yards ) and as I was stroking him he was nudging me with his head as if to say "go on get the brush out , give me the full deal !!
I've once experienced a few(horses) that were left to graze in the wild for a long period of time who were hmm.. yes pretty crazy,
they'd definitely regressed a little bit and I do recall them all following a Larger male around. Sometimes they would run at us and not to us or away from us.. that was a little scary as they were big ... horse size even .
We accopmplished our job of Drovering them 5 miles back through granite fields to Farmer browns land.
Most of them had no shoes or some missing so they weren't too happy with the rocky terrain.
That's all on topic right ?
