‘Nice ice’
After a nice nap following a 3.1 mile snowshoe hike in which I sought out to get a photo for today, I went out to my vehicle to retrieve my camera. I was watching the sidewalk carefully, as much of it was covered with ice from the melted snow, when I noticed this pattern reflected in the light. Of course I had to get the tripod out and attempt to get a shot. Tired from the hike, my patienc

‘Untitled’
I did today what I hoped this ‘project’ would get me to do, that is, to go out and take photos. I’ve been doing quite a bit of reading and watching tutorials about photography lately. So I took some of the guidance and put on the 100-400 and went out to find things I probably otherwise wouldn’t. There’s no question in my 3.25 mile snowshoe trek that I passed by many opportunities because I was looking too macro, but I did get a few that are OK. So here’s to the photo of the day effort.

Bomb shelters
The Space Shuttles have been described as bombs with wings. When they launch, the sound waves are so powerful, and the heat so intense, that either could kill people nearby.
The nearest observation area is 3.5 miles from the launch pad. But in the case of a contingency on the launchpad, there is a launchpad rescue team stationed in M133 Armored Personnel Carriers about 1.5 miles from the launchpad.
Here’s a shot of those M133’s from inside our tour bus. Note too the crawler paths in the foreground.
