We brought Thanksgiving dinner from St. Louis and did final assembly at Carolyn's mother's home. She lives in a new housing development for low income seniors. They are spacious apartments, two to a building, all ground level and accessible. Perfect for Elvira who will be 94 in a few days and can live by herself with some assistance.
So what to do later? No football fans in that place. I got out on the lane through the development a bit after sunset with my camera and tripod. The top picture looks back to the through road and has some wild spectral highlights from the street lamp just out of the picture. That's the entrance to Elvira's unit below, with a clear night, a waxing moon and some wacky color imbalance. Last, looking toward the edge of town from the end of the lane. That's the same water tower we saw a year ago through a longer lens.
This morning is the annual not-at-all-serious pheasant hunt out in the farm fields. The running joke is that the Kruse guys all carry shotguns but I bring a Canon.

I am jealous of that sky... Magnificent. Look at those stars...
ReplyDeleteLove that top photo.I remember the very eirie photo you took last year of your mother-in-law's place. It's obviously inspiring !
ReplyDeleteYou were able to 'walk' after the turkey? Good for you. I stayed low and watched the Pats demolish their heated rivals.
ReplyDeleteI always like that moment in the evening, when the very last hints of dusk are fading in the west.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots!
wonder if the pheasants know the difference!!
ReplyDeleteI like the horizontal lines of the wires, which were exaggerated by catching light in your long exposure, and which echo the horizontal line of the lights of the passing car.
ReplyDeleteYour eye is marvelous B. Love these as I'm sure Carolyn's family does as well. I'm so glad her mom is still able to have you all around her for these special days.

I like your 'weapon' best Bob!
