Logging Roads

Snows are good for one thing, they really bring out just how many old logging roads are on the mountain. I have some old photos that show that everything up to about the last 30' from the top were cut off. I do like the look of this photo.

Generator building being hauled to an AI data center. I quit counting the ones I saw come through at 30. Who knows how many I haven't seen.

Fog x Snow

Evergreens are holding the line against the encroaching snow line. Grated it won't last a day, but was interesting to see the top of the range in snow and fog.

For no reason at all, I have had the 90s Six Flags commercial theme song stuck in my head.

Built in 1921, this house has definitely seen better days.

Keogram of last night's time lapse. If you look at the pixels right before 22, you will see the very brief view of an aurora before clouds came back in.

Still processing my images of last night's aurora. This 98x time- lapse captures the major outburst in NorCal between 8:30 and 9:00. Sony Alpha 7 III, FE 14 mm f/1.8 lens, ISO 1250, 4s exposures. I have used these settings for bright aurora but never had the sensor saturate before! #astrophotography

Wicked crazy numbers with this aurora. As well as an overcast sky. But thinned out enough to let the colors shine through.

Autumn thoughts. A time for contemplation.
Tattered and torn.
Displaced and decaying.
Leaves. Toned slightly because they told me to.
They are mournful. I am the only one to notice them.
So, I share them with you.

11-11 Aurora in Pennsylvania.

Mother nature was nice to me for a very short period. Thinned the clouds out just enough.

Red Berries

Fall may be fast approaching it's end. But that doesn't mean there are not great shots to still be found. Next to some purple fruit, I had red fruit.

Last Reflections On Fall

Most the leaves have been blown off from the wind storms of late. But this one patch on the other side of the creek is still holding on. Their last colors reflecting on the still section of water.

Great Horned Owl, just waking up for the evening. Giving me the "WTF you looking at?" look. Not an easy shot, 90' above ground and probably 60 yards away. This was the most open view I could find.
