... and you can even see it on smallish bodies of water, in this  
case, Buzzards Bay on Cape Cod.  The boat to the left is just on the  
horizon, the one on the right about a mile beyond.  The horizon in  
this shot is about 2 miles away.  Makes you wonder why any of the  
ancients thought it could possibly be flat.

Very tight crop K10D, 200 mm Pentax-M lens, ISO 400, approx.  
f8.0@1/2000th.  This crop is probably the equivalent of a 2000 mm 35  
mm lens.

Comments welcome.

Regards,

Dick
