Spectacular Fire Island Sunsets
The sunset tonight over Fire Island was some of the most spectacular colors I have seen all summer. What was different about tonight is that when the sun was settting, thousands of giant dragon flies were swarming westward. It was truly a sight that everyone in town got to witness-- Acording the the National Benthological Society, Dragonfly swarms occur when there is a major change with temperature, wind speed, and dew point. I think the recent break of temps with the heat wave may have attributed to this. There was also a very strong wind from the North which may have helped with their strange migration. It was one of the freakiest things i have seen in a long time. It was like the movie the birds...

National Benthological Society-must be one for the dragon flies. The weather here in Toronto today was almost half (mid 20s) of what it was last tuesday (40ish)! Nice site.
