Information technology trash with a penchant for photography. Will like all photos of your pets. Chicago is the greatest city in existence.

♫ and while I’m alive, I’ll make tiny changes to earth ♫

📸 I'm a doors and windows kind of guy #Philadelphia #photography
Two homes in Philadelphia, stoops the same shade of brown, bricks the same because it's one building, lampposts even the same. The door on the left is blue, the door on the right is yellow. The blue and yellow absolutely compliment each other. I love them both.

📸📝 Finished editing and sorting oh so many photos from a lovely week and a half in Vancouver and Vancouver Island. I'll eventually get to posting individual shots here on main but if you'd like to inject the PNW into you immediately via a list of links, head this way dust.aerojad.com/posts/a-vanc...
The full moon rises above a pine forest on Vancouver Island at dusk. She is beautiful and perfect and there's not a cloud in the sky to bother her A lushly covered mountain on Vancouver Island is covered at its top by low clouds, the scene framed by tall trees on either side and thick forest covering below. Leaves at their autumn vibrant red best fall and decorate a very well protected bike lane in downtown Vancouver. A crow takes part in Crow O'Clock, silhouetted against the distant Vancouver skyline and the golden hour sky, sun setting behind some low clouds to the left but otherwise a clear sky.

A skeleton in a blue wig sits with hands on the steering wheel of an old, dusty car. Sitting next to the skeleton is a pumpkin. This is all in the driveway of a house in Philadelphia

📸 Looking for some Philly murals (more from this set here: flic.kr/s/aHBqjCjDy9) #Philadelphia #photography
A mural of a bird is painted on an old brick building, recessed between two storefronts that come up to the street in the foreground. The bird is black and has a nice yellow beak A mural on the side of a building in Philadelphia, painted on a beautiful and colorful background with some tree branches and flowers to the sides, saying: "we're trans, we're survivors, we are joyful, we feel rage, we are universal!" and if you don't support trans people you can unfollow me and shoot yourself into the sun :) A mural of a fish on a wall in the Fishtown neighborhood of Philadelphia. Perfect, no notes.

📸 I, a fan of the Nation of Philadelphia #philadelphia #photography
Philadelphia City Hall sits at the end of a vanishing point looking up Broad Street in the downtown. It's a party sunny day, plenty of puffy white clouds in the background. Some traffic heads to and fro on either side of the road. Said road is lined by beautiful, old, brick buildings in various brick shades A man plays an accordion in Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia. It's summer outside and the greenery behind him in the park is quite lush. An old timey row house in Philadelphia, exterior painted a faded shade of blue. A bike is tied to a sign post out front.

📸 America's Home of Nowhere to Sit #NewYork #photography
The main hall at Penn Station in New York, recently remodeled, and not a seat for anyone to sit to be found. A triumph for people-resistant interiors. People stand everywhere. Some rebels sit on the floor.

📸 It's a drizzly day and you're got time to kill before the next train #NewYork #photography
A halal food cart stands bold with its yellow and blue umbrellas against a dreary backdrop complete with the tops of buildings being hidden by low clouds. It's drizzly, the streets are wet. Several pedestrians walk through the frame, including two waiting on some food People walk to and fro on a cloudy and gloomy day in midtown Manhattan. The camera is sat in front of a table with a puddle on it, reflecting the entire scene in the bottom half of the frame

📸 And they were all good dogs #Brooklyn #photography
A vibrantly colored wrinkly bulldog sits in front of a black & white background of city buildings, painted on the side of a building in Brooklyn A brown dog is painted on a garage door in Brooklyn. The dog is mostly brown, the background a lighter blue. Next to the door is another mural featuring two Black faces looking directly at you, the person viewing this photo. They are outlined/shaded in a brilliant kaleidoscope of colors on a black background A very good and happy dog, painted as a mural on a building in Brooklyn. The dog, ears flopping outward, is black and white and shades of gray. The dog likely wants a treat.

📸 Waited on a chilly, wind-swept beach for more than an hour and just when I was about to pack it in the skies erupted, what a night again #inwx #aurora #northernlights #photography
A thick and bright green streak of aurora sits just above the Lake Michigan horizon, somewhat obscured and blurred by high and thin clouds passing by. Some pillars can be seen especially toward the center The green auroras spring to life aggressively with flames of red shooting above them over the Lake Michigan horizon, reflecting a bit on the water-swept beach in the foreground Red flames of aurora continue to deepen and brighten over a green base just above the horizon. Blurred waves in the foreground provide a slight reflection Red auroras begin to fade above green linear auroras also turning the colors down, giving into the dark skies well to the north. All this unfolds over blurry long exposure waves on the Lake Michigan shoreline

📸 Tonight everything was beautiful, everything was perfect #ilwx #aurora #northernlights
A red flame of aurora dominates the left third of the sky, surpassing a bright green band stretching dozens of degrees above the horizon. It all reflects off a pond below A hazy red glow occurs over multiple bright green bands of aurora closer to the horizon, above a pond An absolute torch of an aurora pillar glows bright red almost in the center of this flame, growing like a flower in the sky out of a bright green base stretching across the horizon Tongues of red aurora reach toward the top of the sky while a bright patch of green looks like fantasy smoke arising from silhouetted trees at the bottom

📸 Rides I'd drive #Brooklyn #photography
An old timey but hot looking... somewhere between a car and a van, is parked on a curb and set against a weathered brick wall. No one is inside. The top third of the car is a shiny blue, bottom two thirds grey. I know nothing about cars but it looks nice. The pavement is wet because it's drizzling out. Close in shot on a drivers' side window on a car with two decals stuck to it: one a mobster hat (fedora?), the other a cigar. Both placed so it looks like the driver, when present, would be wearing them. There's raindrops on the window because it's drizzling out.

"That’s 73 more than the same time last year" cents? dollars? electricites?
Screenshot of a ComEd email: Your energy use is projected to be 41% higher on your next bill compared to the same time last year. That’s 73 more than the same time last year. 73 what? We may never know.

The other high resolution US model, the NAM, is even more optimistic - snow showers that don't stick during Sunday but an especially intense band overnight into Monday dropping close to 10" in a very narrow area. I'd consider that an outlier and solid "probably not" territory
NAM model output for 6am Sunday showing lake effect snow across northeastern Illinois and a departing storm further to the east. The warmth of Lake Michigan causes a change to rain at the immediate shore NAM model output for Monday at 6am showing a very narrow but very intense band of lake effect snow across central and southern Cook county NAM model snowfall output through 6pm Monday showing that narrow band dumping nearly 10" in the city of Chicago with similar amounts into Gary and South Bend. A very sharp cutoff on the western end however with the difference between 9" and 0" being only a couple of miles
