As for the second, Topical Storm Irene's victory at sea aftermath in the process of self-cleaning, courtesy of some raging off-shore winds.

Good weather for walking the dog. Well almost, in between the 60 mph gusts. Wary eye for falling tree limb and flying debris. Sea spray in the air; rainy mistclouds scudding in the tempest. Yes, there was definitely "smoke on the water" in Manhasset Bay today, and it wasn't coming from a cigarette boat, or a macanudo on the deck of a yacht, this time.
Tonight, 68 degrees and dropping. No need for the A/C ... finally.
The top photo is gorgeous! Where was that taken?
