I concur. And having spent a good part of my life on the water, I always try to capture the "meanness" of how water can look when the wind pipes up. You get around 20 knots of heavy air, and the white caps are ferocious, and the water turns much darker. To this day, I have never seen a photograph that can capture the true image that the eyes see. A photograph always makes it look subdued.

Another favorite camera place is Niagara Falls. I don't like milky images. I want to capture on film as close to what my eyes see as I can. The picture below is an example of that. It was taken at Niagara at one of the smaller falls. Please ... NO critique necessary. I already can spot about a dozen things wrong with this pic. It was shot along time ago in AUTO with a P&S before I knew anything about good photography. I post it here only trying to demonstrate what kind of water I want to capture. This photo comes close to what my eyes actually saw. I certainly would not go for the milky type water in this venue.

President Barack Obama slammed Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Wednesday for the p**********l hopeful’s statements that he would empower law enforcement to “patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods“ in the wake of the deadly terror attacks in Brussels.

“I just left a country that engages in that kind of neighborhood surveillance, which, by the way, the father of Sen. Cruz escaped for America, the land of the free,” Obama said during a press conference in Argentina, referring to his historic trip to Cuba earlier this week.

He said the proposal “makes absolutely no sense” and goes against basic American values.

The Republican p**********l candidate, a Cuban-American, has been deeply critical of Obama’s strategy to destroy the so-called Islamic State. He said Tuesday’s attacks in Brussels were more evidence that Obama needs to address the root of the problem.

“It is way past time we have a president who will acknowledge this evil and will call it by its name and use the full force and fury to defeat ISIS,” Cruz said in a press conference on Tuesday. “Until they are defeated, these attacks will continue. Their target is each and every one of us.”

“We need a president who sets aside political correctness,” Cruz insisted. “We don’t need another lecture about Islamophobia.”

Cruz’s comments drew fire from Muslim advocacy groups, Democrats, the police commissioner of New York City and even one of his rivals for the GOP nomination, Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

Obama also criticized proposals to bomb ISIS positions in Syria and Iraq indiscriminately. Cruz has called for “carpet bombing” terrorists, a strategy that would endanger civilians.

“We don’t go and blow something up just so we can say that we blew something up. That’s not a military strategy,” Obama said.

New data from a variety of government sources demonstrates that the gains in insurance coverage since Obamacare was fully implemented are more a result of the law, than economic recovery.

Under ‘‘Obamacare,’’ the share of Americans without health insurance has dropped to a historic low of about 9 percent, with room to go even lower. But even as the economy has expanded, major government surveys point to a lackluster rebound for employer-based coverage.
‘‘It’s very clear that the Affordable Care Act has done most of the work in decreasing the number of uninsured,’’ said economist Robert Kaestner of the University of Illinois Chicago.
For example, the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey found about 3 million gained employer coverage between 2010 and 2014, but the number of uninsured dropped by 10 million, with the strongest gains coming from Medicaid coverage. Additionally, the National Health Interview Survey from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identified essentially flat employer coverage in the four-year period, with 12.6 million more people with health insurance. Finally, the Census Bureau's Current Population Survey "found no statistically significant change in the number of people covered by employers from 2013 to 2014," but identified 9 million no longer uninsured.

That means that a lot of people got coverage from Obamacare. It didn't ruin the economy, and it didn't k**l jobs. Go figure. Obamacare has already faded as a campaign issue in this ridiculous campaign season, and for good reason. It's working. People like it. Republicans have absolutely no clue what to do to replace. It's time to stop talking about repealing it and time to talk about improving it.
