FEATURED Photo of the Day

[Automata]

This photo was taken somewhere right before sunset in rural South Dakota, back in June 2013. I was out getting ready to take photos of the super blood moon.

 

[Audioaficionado]

Did you catch any of the recent super blue moon?

Nah, I don't have a big enough telephoto lens to capture it well.

Last night's sunset was so gorgeous we went to the river and took some photos as well as from my deck.

this was something i caught on the "super" blue moon on my phone while i was walking around not being able to sleep.
no filters, it was actually blue like this, a nice change from the blood red it had been for a while from the smoke

Make sure your dog has a way to stay cool this summer!

A nearly 180° view in Badlands National Park. This is a composite of 7 photos and the one I posted here is 5000 pixels wide to keep a lot of the detail. The original photo is 72 megapixel.

Anyone catch that Oct 14 ring of fire solar eclipse? I didn't try to set up a camera as we were on the southern path edge and only got a minute of duration. It was so cloudy over the PNW all the way to eastern Nevada that it was a miracle we even got a ten minute glimpse of the peak which was very cool. People that drove North to the center line got skunked.

You picking?

I've had two friends with Granadas over the years and both of them affectionatly called them "The GrenadeA" lol. The first was an Army buddies while I was stationed in El Paso. It was a 1977 four door if memory serves be correctly. While it drove incredibly smooth, anytime he hit the gas pedal to pass somebody the poor engine would rev-up, but do nothing. I don't recall what engine he had but a quick google search tells me it was likely one of the aptly named Thriftpower I-6's. The second is a current co-worker of mine at Ford. It's a 1978 2-door with a 302 engine. It used to be his daily driver until he spun out in the ice. Now he only drives it in the summer and is in the process of fully restoring it. Somehow he managed to keep it rust free here in Michigan.

Edit: Ironically both were brown, like yours. Did they even make another color? (OK now I'm picking)
