Happy Wednesday!
Marian Laureta submitted today’s featured image of a huge double rainbow at Myrtle Rocks earlier this month. The weather event resulted in so many photo submissions, this is the second time it has been highlighted as a photo of the day. Paul Deelman’s photo was chosen earlier this month.
To submit a picture for Photo of the Day consideration, send the full size original via email to [email protected] with the subject line “Photo of the Day.” Remember to include where and when you took the picture, what it is and your name (we want to give you credit).
On this day:
In 1838, Britain’s Queen Victoria was crowned in Westminster Abbey.
In 1914, Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife Sophie were assassinated, which ultimately triggered World War I, one of the bloodiest wars of all time with more than 37 million deaths.
In 1919, along with many nations, Canada signed the Treaty of Versailles, ending a state of war with Germany.
In 1994, at the National Hockey League draft, former Vancouver Canuck Ed Jovanovski, then of the Ontario Hockey League’s Windsor Spitfires, was selected first overall by Florida Panthers. Five years later he was traded to the Canucks in a seven player deal which included Pavel Bure going to the Panthers.
