Interesting Things We've Seen On The Internet
Good Morning To Everyone On The Front Porch On This Cold Thursday Morning December 17th, 2020!
As I'm sitting around our apartment on my cable I've seen some interesting things like beautiful creatures posted on the internet! It could be a tropical bird, a majestic animal, a waterfall in a remote part of Africa, a giant tree or the insect I've posted below.
I think that the Front Porch followers should be able to come up with several hundred photos by New Years Day! All you need to do is save the photo to your gallery and repost it here to this topic.
ENJOY AND HAVE A HAPPY, HEALTHY 2021!
Solved! Go to Solution.

SS Badger is a passenger and vehicle ferry in the United States that has been in service on Lake Michigan since 1953. Currently, the ship shuttles between Ludington, Michigan, and Manitowoc, Wisconsin, a distance of 62 miles (100 km), connecting U.S. Highway 10 (US 10) between those two cities. She is the last coal-fired passenger vessel operating on the Great Lakes, and was designated a National Historic Landmark on January 20, 2016.
I traveled on this ship with my folks when I was about 12 years old
Yes I I got seasick!

One would be truly blessed on days like this to live so close to the ocean, with Peggy’s Cove just a short drive from their home. Today, one would be lucky enough to capture some of the most iconic Nova Scotia moments: the Bluenose sailing past Peggy’s Cove. It would see like two of the province’s most beloved landmarks came together in one perfect scene. I might just have to print one of these—curious which one speaks to you most!

Bixby Bridge, also known as Bixby Creek Bridge, on the Big Sur coast of California, is one of the most photographed bridges in California due to its aesthetic design, "graceful architecture and magnificent setting".[3][4] It is a reinforced concrete open-spandrel arch bridge. The bridge is 120 miles (190 km) south of San Francisco and 13 miles (21 km) south of Carmel in Monterey County on State Route 1.
We crossed this bridge on our retirement trip between LA and Portland. The trip allowed us to visit several relatives along the way. The trip was in the Fall of 2009.

Wisconsin Territory
The Territory of Wisconsin was an organized and incorporated territory of the United States that existed from July 3, 1836,[1] until May 29, 1848, when an eastern portion of the territory was admitted to the Union as the State of Wisconsin. Belmont was initially chosen as the capital of the territory. In 1837, the territorial legislature met in Burlington, just north of the Skunk River on the Mississippi, which became part of the Iowa Territory in 1838.[2] In that year, 1838, the territorial capital of Wisconsin was moved to Madison!

The lighthouse on Tearaght island, Ireland. The lighthouse is only 17 meters high. But it doesn't have to be higher, the lantern is still 84 meters above sea level. The lighthouse was lit for the first time in 1870. It was manned until 1988, when it was automated.
Tearaght island is the westernmost point of Ireland and Europe, apart from a few small cliffs a little further away to the southwest and apart from Iceland and the Azores.
