A very welcome (visible) sunrise

The earth turns on its axis every 24 hours give or take a nano second here and there. In each of our own spots, the sun thus rises and sets once every 24. Here, in my spot, this event has been hidden from sight – for nearly 10 days – not counting the fact that we did indeed have some day light and a lot of dark night.

This morning…a very welcome visible sunrise.

Something different

Playing with a Raynox DCR250 Macro converter when I should be working…

The freezing fog is gone. The inversion has cleared. The mountains are visible, but barely. There is heavy overcast and it is snowing. But it is REAL overcast, not the low foggy cloud layer. It looks and feels very different. I could take some photos outside. But it just looks gray and cold now, so I played photographer inside, with my new toy…which came in the mail today.

Something different.
