Morning at Lake Shelbyville

Was somewhat surprised how well these turned out considering all were at great distance. Gull in second image was almost halfway across. Should have gotten a shot of the lake for perspective but was just kind of there to chill. Not much of a chill to be found though.









From 2009, I was at the lower left facing across. Distant marina is same as in second image.

Wolf Moon / January Stuff

Sunday's full moon was titled the Wolf Moon. Though intense as it soared through the night sky, I wasn't interested in getting it. Heading home in the morning it looked cool as it hung low on the WNW horizon so I decided to pull over and go for it after all. Ideally I would have preferred not to have foreground items and be higher but when it's this low you literally have seconds before it slips out of view. Distortion of moon and extremely distant barns is due to Atmospheric Refraction.



Facing E, Quadrantid Meteor from the 3rd.

Amazing Sunset

On a day I have been simply laying low as it is the four year anniversary of our mother's passing, something compelled me to step outside so I did.
