Sunset over Chuck's house:



Palidin lives under there. Taken from the cockpit of Enterprise from Knapps Narrows.

Mostly I take crude little snapshots, and so don't really belong with some of the gorgeously artistic images here. But, here's one I like a lot. Inspired by my Twin's submission, my current wallpaper - Sisu with Mt. Hood in the background:




And... Sisu feeling frisky:




And one of my furniture pieces - a Japanese Modern coffee table - with some interesting lighting. Jatoba, glass, and cast concrete:

And... Sisu feeling frisky:

Off topic, but where does the name Sisu come from? Is it Finnish?

"Sisu is a unique Finnish concept. It stands for the philosophy that what must be done will be done, regardless of what it takes."

Russ, having such a beautiful boat to photograph is an unfair advantage.
