Pictures

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

I was thinking that we could have a thread for nice or interesting pictures.

As an example, last night while driving home from my rehearsal I saw the moon in a redish color that caught my attention. Once I got home I pulled my camera (Dimage Z5) and took a few pictures of it. Sadly it was more yellowish by the time I took them but still nice, I think (perhaps a bit overexposed?). For the inclined these are the specs: ASA100, F4.5, 1/10s (with a tiny tripod and temporizer).

Thanks for your proof the moon is made of cheese - Edam I guess.

This is a better picture of a parhelia; it shows the sundogs on both sides of the sun (about 22 degrees above the horizon.)

joe, do you know if this phenomenon ever happen in "pillars"?  I've skiied through pillars of light when it's very sunny and cold and there's fine ice crystals in the air.  I'm not sure how I managed to catch them.... I would have thought it'd be like a rainbow, and uncatchable.

Otherwise it looks very much the same.

From my neck of the woods, we had a beautiful but brisk Autumn day in PA today.

This is where I'm off to in the morning, for vacation.


And here's two looking East and West from the same point (Honey Run Creek) a couple of miles from my house.

I don't wanna live in the brown treeless flatlands anymore.....

Here's a picture I took a few years ago:



It's from Niagara Falls, Canada - the big spotlights are for the falls light show.

I like that one. The colors are nice.


One from my yard, under our morning glory.



Our pumpkin plant, back before the mites ate it.



Taken on the way to a funeral down south this
summer, in about June, I think.



Lemme know if I should make them smaller.

Yes, I do know, and the answer is yes.
 
This LINK will take you to a much better scientific explanation. BTW make sure you look at all of the links in it .. some real beauty there.

That's it!  Skiing through one is AMAZING.  I felt blessed.

Thanks!

Where's "home"  (originally) for you Aggie?
