 | Aerial Sunset Originally uploaded by metak. I've been snapping pictures from airplanes again. (I thought this view has some potential for a watercolor someday.) 14 August 2006 Ten or fifteen minutes out from Logan Airport |

This upside down abandoned bike frame seemed like some kind of strange little creature, sitting there in the grass. Smallish wings, giant horns, very lean. I think it's a young one. A rare sighting.

Taken with the new Elph (S500) for which I have no icon yet, I have no idea what kind of flower this is. I'm impressed with the sharpness of the new camera.
 | I was in a hurry, so I neither got things straight, nor dealt well with the flash. I take more pictures now that I have a pocket digital camera, but I haven't entirely gotten over the embarassment of snapping pictures in random places. |

Not a tremendous picture (yuck! power lines), but the rain storm was impressive and I wanted to see how the S200 did at capturing the rainstorm, since I know a lot of digital cameras can't perform well in very low light. It did all right this time. (Though rain & sunset, as the previous entry shows, are too much strain.) This was from last June, when the DC area had been hammered by something like 100 days of rain. |
Last night there was a really spectacular sunset and thunderstorm simultaneously. The sky was glowing purple, and the rain was falling. I grabbed my camera really quickly and took this picture. I think it metered off the sun, so everything's very dark (and you can't really see the purple or the rain), but it's a neat picture nonetheless. The darkness of the picture does have the side benefit of hiding the power line that runs right across this lovely view. [27-apr-04]

An old picture (1998?): playing with shadows. I was reminded of it by running across this picture (by Ken Sullivan) and later this picture while perusing photo galleries on the web. |
 |
An old picture (from 1996) taken Easter Sunday at the Brooklyn botanical gardens. I like the contrast of the two little girls playing in the forground and the old man on the bench in the background. I can't recall now whether that was deliberate, or a happy accident. |
 |
Wandering out of the woods, we ran across a small bridge or boardwalk, to nowhere in particular.
 |
Normally this walk would be very dark, since it's so heavily wooded, but in the winter in the snow, it's quite bright. I like the brightness of the little boy's red jacket and the lens flare on the right side.

 | From the courtyard this afternoon. It was cooler picture when there were only three crows in a perfect line, but by the time I got back there with my camera, a fourth bird had showed up, spoiling the picture. |
| Courtesy of the latest version of Zoom Browser/Photostitch... It's pretty user friendly; I'm pleased. [01-23-04] The view from the top of the training slope:  |
 | I saw this in a display of Christmas creches from around the world. It's a poor picture, since I was reaching over other people to take it, but it was too funny not to make the attempt. (The country of origin was listed as "USA" for those who are wondering.) |

This little creature lives in Harvard Square. How is it I never noticed him before? |

Saw this woman on the T and couldn't resist. It must be the way the eye shade looks as though it's got closed eyelids on it... |
