A picture a day

[Willy T]

Woke up this morning to a couple gunshots and a lot of police cars. They had their flashing lights on but no sirens. Didn't seem too urgent. Not sure what happened, maybe they had to put an animal down or something.

Anyway, this weekend I tried out the homemade camera in sunny, contrasty conditions which I hoped would work better with its soft focus lens than the flat light I've tested it in previously. It was 7F but it felt fine with the sun and no wind. Now that I finally have a viewfinder the camera is much better to use.

Niagara Gorge?

Niagara Gorge?

Indeed, very near to my home so I go there often.

Cool! I still see Ospreys and other military aircraft fly over my house from time to time from the airport here, which I guess is not much used for commercial travel.

My photo for tomorrow. It was a little eerie today to see a corpse waving at me on my lunch break walk. Sometimes we forget how harsh winter can be for those outside.

Probably someone was trying to get some fresh Ilford bulk rolls across the border without the tariffs

That's perfect. I want to be right there! I'm looking forward to spring.

Thanks! This is a very odd place, but I really like being there. It's 'new nature' wedged in between the town garbage dump, an industrial zone (note power lines and mega-fans), a busy road and some woods. It has a certain exposed, noisy harshness to it, while at the same time it's strangely quiet in a way. The guys & gals in the photo don't mind either way. There's grass.

I love the smells of cattle and sheep. Hay and silage, manure! It's all good. Never gets old.
