Winter Moon rising and this and that


Sauna Setting in my computer's editing program

Night time landscape setting on my camera



December 22 we had a full moon on the rise...
In spite of all the Decorative lights on our cul-de-sac, the moon was big and bright from the time it popped over the trees


This photo was 100% luck and straight out of the camera.
This street runs beside our house.  While taking photos of the moon, I decided to
snap a few of all the decorative lights.  As I snapped, a car was passing.
I was able to capture some of those funky speeding lights you often see  in night photos, lower right corner.



This and That

And this and that I found in my December 12th file.

We have been watching this steel go up for several weeks.
It is progress in the making there was an older 3 story building on the site.
It was torn down to make way for this multistory building.
The old building was in a flood plain from day one.  I guess no one ever really thought
Crabtree Creek would flood.  It did many many times. Right into the parking lot of the old
building and very close to the front door.
The site is still in the flood plain;  however, the new building is on top of a multilevel parking deck.
Once it is occupied all will have to be sure to move their cars to higher ground and
pray the water recedes quickly.
 The physics behind how these cranes can lift heavy things without breaking is
way above my understanding.

There you have it my this and that is finished.

  1. VERY cool night photos! I don't understand how those cranes get away with what they do either....one of life's little mysteries I guess!

  3. Those were some terrific pictures of the moon. It sure was a gorgeous moon. That is interesting on how the cranes do all that lifting. Anyway, you all have a wonderful week end.

  9. Great pictures! We have not seen the moon in a long time due to the constant clouds here in WNY.

  11. I love your night shots. Very pretty area.

    I don't know anything about cranes either, but they sure get the job done.

    Have a fabulous weekend, my friend. ♥

  12. Love your photos. Some geek half a world away has screwed up my computer with their compulsory updates. So I can't download photos onto my computer. As well, there is a long waiting list to have the computer worked on. So it'll have to be a January job. Methinks.

  13. The 'night time landscape' setting photo is particularly atmospheric., I think.
    Cheers! Gail (now reunited with Bertie).

  17. You shot some wonderful night clicks! Crate and Barrel is an uplifting store... :) Somehow got it confused with Cracker Barrel and thought we were going to talk about FOOD! Ha!

    I think the moon was celebrating Christmas with it's big, round light. ~Lucy

  19. As much as I try to snap images of full moons, I am always disappointed with my iPhone camera. Around here, you cannot build in certain flood plains. But, the Fed makes you purchase flood insurance!

  20. Cool picture. The people who invented the crane are a lot smarter than I am.
