I awoke early on Wednesday morning and spotted an incredible pre-sunrise sky. Should I go out and chase it? Conditions change so rapidly that chasing doesn't usually work. One almost always needs to be in place when the light kicks off.
I decided to chance it and was at a location about two miles away within about 20 minutes. Yes, conditions had deteriorated a lot, but they were still good. Can you, therefore, imagine what it must have been like earlier with a fabulous, continuous and thicker band of vivid orange across the horizon?
Even the plainest scenery can look fairly good in great light while the most beautiful scenery can look ordinary in bad light. There was just a bare field in front of me, but it was dark enough that it didn't seem to matter too much. The silos added some interest; I think it would be a poorer image without the silos.
This is a map of COVID cases in our local three-county health area. We are in, Lanark East, the green strip to the upper right. If our little region has had 33 cases, I think that they are all related to long term care facilities. As terrible as it is for them, it speaks well for the community at large. Just doing a very rough calculation from the map I think that is almost 2000km2/700sqmi. There are no community cases or very very few in that large of a district seem very positive to me. (I hope that I have been interpreting the map and data correctly.)
Yes to the silos. And the ears. You both are marvelous.
ReplyDeleteLeaping out of bed and driving 20 minutes for a possible picture is not normal. It makes you grow weird ears. But in any event I enjoyed the adventure and the ears. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnything which breaks the monotony these days is great! Great photo.
ReplyDeleteI like the ears.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have a clue how many people have/had Corona in our region. I just know that at the moment it seems to be flattening and it seems to be shifting somewhat. From the south to the north. As long as it is slowly getting better though.
There are a lot of cases in our care homes too. Some have a mortality rate of around 50% I believe. Scary stuff. Good thing my parents are still at home and in good health.
Silos are an excellent addition. Good hobbit you have there.
ReplyDeleteNext your selfie will have big hairy feet...oh no! Liked the sunrise photo, especially knowing the effort it took to get it.
ReplyDeleteTo me, the best shot was your selfie. Lol.
ReplyDeleteIt’s amazing that you got such a shot after driving 20 minutes. We had a beautiful sunrise too, but 5 minutes later, it was just so so. Your selfies are so much fun.
ReplyDeleteWonderful sunrise! It sounds positive about your Covid 19 cases, not that anything about this virus is particularly positive.
ReplyDeleteWeird detached ears--lol! But cute.
ReplyDeleteThe 20 minute car ride was worth it but not something most folks would do--LOL! We appreciate your extraordinary effort.
I hope the virus stays fairly contained there.
Have a great weekend. :)
