How thin is it?

Sometimes signs just don't make sense (click picture to enlarge if you can't see the background).

Sky path?

I've always been fascinated by jet trails, but it looks as though there is actually a path for the jet to follow in this shot - something I've never seen before. Other than a minor tweak to levels and resizing, I did nothing to this with PhotoShop. The "pathway" was quite visible to the naked eye. Has anyone ever seen this before? If so, do you know what causes it?

Day's end

After being chained to the computer all day, I drove out to Bench Road to watch the sun set. I was kind of expecting something a little more spectacular, but this is as good as it got - which still isn't all that bad.

In light of the Conservatives....

Today Steven Harper's government announced a plan to ban the sale of incandescent light bulbs by 2012, I thought it would be a good day to post this pic I took one evening when I was bored.

Almost Sunset

This is in a field just a couple of blocks from my house just before sunset. From my vantage point, I couldn't shoot directly toward the sunset, so I had to shoot at an oblique angle.

Clear for landing

This is a shot from a few years ago when I was still in China. I went to this flower show and culinary exhibition in Guangzhou. Even though I had been there for a couple of years when I took this pic, it was the first time I'd ever really spent any time looking closely at the plants out there. That's when I noticed how different the flies and bees looked out there.

Double your pleasure

Other than being resized, this shot is straight out of my camera - and I didn't use a multiple exposure setting either. I was experimenting with long exposures in my office a few minutes ago and this is what I got. I think it's cool.
