A John Deere dawn would be spooky!

A John Deere dawn would be spooky!

True that.
Lest some would deny it,..I took the snap, compared the colour on the screen to the reality in front of me... seemed accurate to my jaded eye, it is what it is. There seems to be a magic 15 or 20 minutes between 6 and 6.30 at the moment.

As a wave sailor back in the 90s on my native PEI, and more recently aboard Accolade on the West Coast I would enjoy trying to read the morning sky as portend of things to come. Was wondering John what that sky says to you other than that it’s a beautiful day so far! / Jim

I don't see anything threatening there, Jim. Having said that we've just had a week of great that followed 2 weeks of rubbish weather, so we're due for a change. I heard a forecast yesterday that said 20 knots was expected mid or later this week but missed most of it. We'll head out again this morning for a week or few days.

Tks John, have a great trip! / Jim

gypsie OMG that is a fantastic photo. I'm in admiration of your subject, composition, lighting and the most important ......... Choice

One for our Kiwi friends.

I haven't played with the camera much yet, but it's the Google Pixel 7 Pro. I'd gone to the shop thinking I'd buy the Oppo X5 Pro, the camera for which was developed with Hasselblad, but they were out of stock.... so I grabbed the Pixel 7 Pro. It will be a cold day in Hell before I buy another Apple product.

Hollandale silos.jpg

Hollandale silos.jpg

Reminds me of Hilla and Bernd Becher. The German photography couple that shoots silos and industrial photos .

Ted, looks cold we want to do Mammoth this year. Recommendations ?

was only 8 this morning at 6000 feet.

can't go wrong with mammoth. There are some really nice places, and believe or not great sushi!

when I get back to civilization I will let you know.

Kudzu doesn't seem to like having wet feet in winter and spring here in the delta. Vines are more likely peppervine or similar. Probably asbestos shingles.

[Jimmy W]

Full length silos shot with phone because it has wider lens.

Those silos were built along the railroad. Last train service was in the 1960s and even tracks are gone now.
