Cover	Description
August 2009 Front Back	View/Download PDF The covers of this issue are from Charlie Bruce’s recent trip in the Baltic Sea. The front cover shows the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood in St. Petersburg. The back cover features the Fountains at Peterhof, near St. Petersburg on the Gulf of Finland. Elsewhere in this issue, but not pictured here, are some photos taken by Carla Nuenke at the recent Mensa Annual Gathering in Pittsburgh.
July 2009 Front Back	View/Download PDF The front cover was taken at the June Mensa outing at the Clippers baseball game in Huntington Park. These flags in the outfield of the ballpark, show on the street side as the primary focus. Photo by Carla Nuenke. The Back Cover is not a Photo, :).
June 2009 Front Back	View/Download PDF The front cover is a close-up of rose bushes taken by Dick Nuenke at last year's Rose Festival in Whetstone Park. Keeping with a floral theme
May 2009 Front Back	View/Download PDF Since it's May, the front cover features Indy 500 race cars on the course at last year's race. The back cover shows the balloon release as part of the pre-race celebrations. Both photos by Carla Nuenke.
April 2009 Front Back Credit	View/Download PDF The front cover is a shot of our guest editor, relaxing with her favorite publication (Col-M of course). Picture by Carla Nuenke. The back cover, by Mary Bucher Fisher, is the picture of the falls in the Overbrook Ravine described in Mary's article on page 8. Charlie Bruce took the shot of the friendly local crocodile he spotted in Belize. This picture accompanies his article on page 9.
March 2009 Front Back	View/Download PDF Both front and back covers are of Dale Chihully glass art that was on display throughout the Franklin Park Conservatory a few years ago. Photos by Carla Nuenke.
February 2009 Front Back	View/Download PDF Just in case you are tired of cold winter weather, February’s cover features warm, tropical Panama City. Photo by Carla Nuenke. The back cover isn’t a photo — it’s a reminder from national Mensa to renew your dues.
January 2009 Front Back	View/Download PDF Both covers are from Charlie Bruce, taken on his recent cruise around South America’s Cape Horn. The front cover features Rock Hoppers, and the back cover is Cape Horn.
December 2008 Front Back	View/Download PDF Both covers feature Christmas decorations in the town square of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. There’s something odd about fake snowmen, elves, sleighs, etc. right next to palm trees, and never even the thought of snow. I guess our culture has made even the Mexicans attempt to be New Englanders at Christmas time. Both photos by Carla Nuenke.
November 2008 Front Back Credit	View/Download PDF The front cover is not really a Halloween picture; it’s actually a Where’s Waldo Dick & Carla? This is a highly polished stainless steel sculpture in Millenium Park in Chicago, entitled Cloud Gate, by British artist Anish Kapoor. The sculpture from further away is at the left. Hint: Dick shot the photo standing just in front of the edge of the sculpture. The back cover features an installation in the Milwaukee Art Museum. It’s called Ruin, by Nam June Paik. It features 32 antique television sets as part of their Sensory Overload exhibit. Both photos by Dick Nuenke.
October 2008 Front Back	View/Download PDF Cover photos uncredited. Happy Halloween.
