I love to be able to see the stars, but that is a rarity these days with all the light pollution form human habitation. A nice alternative is the night sky when the moon is bright. Add in a field of slow moving clouds to brush past the lunar light and the view is quite awe inspiring.

It is strange how we take many things for granted around us. For example, the wooden poles that support the electrical cables from PECO, which are individually numbered and also carry tags appear to identify when each pole has been treated and retreated with some sort of preservative/insecticide. There's a certain rustic charm associated with these embossed plaques, which makes them seem arcane in these days of barcoding and QR codes, buT iS iT aRt?

dAy 9: aN App a dAy

Today I was able to do something that would have been unimaginable when I started my original blog buT iS iT aRt? back in 2005, namely use a phone app to directly post to blogger. I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier. Anyhow, today I was able to escape the office at lunchtime and get some exercise at a nearby park. During my stroll I captured (as best I could on my Phone) an early Autumn leaf floating downstream.

Thankfully I also had my camera with me and was able to take a fairly decent shot of a floating leaf too!

Great storm tonight that lasted almost an hour, with thunder and lightning. I tried to capture a few shots with my iPhone but mostly the amount of light flooded the sensor. I was happy to get just a few to illustrate the truly spectacular electrical dance that was going on above my head. Some of these strikes must have come to earth with spectacular results...

Oh the lovely supermarket! This time my local, family owned Wegman's where they have, hidden atop the ice cream freezers, a full size replica of the Liberty Bell.
