Monroe's Final Photos

Undated photo showing Buddy Greco, Marilyn Monroe, and Frank Sinatra presumably at the Cal-Neva Lodge at Lake Tahoe, in a photo from the personal collection of Buddy Greco. These photos are now available on eBay.

MARILYN Monroe's friend and jazz pianist Buddy Greco has revealed the last photograph taken of the actress, in which she is seen hugging him.
The unmistakable smile and shock of blonde hair peeking out from under a stylish headscarf mark one of the most famous faces of the 20th Century.
Only five days later the actress would be found dead, aged just 36.
The rare picture, one of a set, was taken at Lake Tahoe, Nevada, in August 1962 as Monroe, Greco and singer Frank Sinatra enjoyed a relaxing weekend away.
Eighty-two-year-old Greco has kept the pictures to himself for more than 40 years, but has now decided to put them up for sale. more HERE

Global Warming Impact: Lake Tahoe

A new UC Davis study predicts that climate change will irreversibly alter water circulation in Lake Tahoe, radically changing the conditions for plants and fish in the lake.
The likelihood that when the lakes' oxygen is gone, phosphorus that is currently locked up in the lake-floor sediments will get released. This phosphorus will eventually reach the lake's surface, where it will fuel algal growth. Algae blooms can cause many problems, including reduced lake clarity, unpleasant odors and bad-tasting drinking water.
Lake Tahoe will essentially turn blue to green...
