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.
