Testing my phone

After getting myself an Internet enabled mobile device I had to see
for myself how well it would do at being an input into a blog.

Light

The fluorescent light does save a lot of energy compared to the incandescent light bulb that Edison initially dreamed up. Once I fiddled with the exposure settings a bit, I was immensely pleased with the picture. There is something in the way a twisted piece of glass gives off light that invites you into its luminescent coils.

The incandescent light bulb - an energy hog, yet a testament to a thousand experiments that were aimed at illuminating people's lives. Edison truly made the night longer with this invention.

Horizon

I was immediately drawn into the picturesque tranquility of this scene while I was driving by the lake. The picture has the character of belonging in an inspirational poster.

City by Night

This is the skyline of Milwaukee as seen at night from open water on Lake Michigan. The reflection of the skyline on the water is something I wanted to capture, but wasn't able to successfully.

Neon

A prominent Neon sign glows with the twilight sky as a backdrop. This picture has an eerie quality to it, in spite of it being in wide open public spaces.

Tow

This picture is of an airplane tow that is used to back the plane out of its parking area and into the taxiway. It is pretty cool to see something that literally picks up the front end of an airplane every 35 minutes.

The Moon Makes Men Mad

The moon is probably the most pondered over heavenly object, and it hasn't spared me either

Python

I found this python luxuriously resting in its own coils, showing none of the behaviors that classify this reptile as a fearsome predator.

Mischief

This lioness may be a powerful predator, but I couldn't help imagining it as a mischievous overgrown cat, especially since she was sticking out her tongue at me.

Feline

This has to be the coolest, most regal creature on earth. I took this picture as this tiger was waking up from its afternoon siesta.
