So when I got home, I took some pictures. Set the camera to longer exposure, black and white and no flash. And now I upload those images to the blog as I sit here watching the Simpsons episode where Homer and Mr. Burns get trapped in a cabin after an avalanche and they nearly kill each other. Funny.
Bad quality from YouTube, but better than nothing. And you get the point. So there is that.
And then here's those photos I mentioned. They are dark because - well, I took them in the dark. Thus the name of this post. Night photos. Cool, yeah?

It started off simply enough. We wanted to make a snowman in the front yard. Something for the tourists to gawk at. Something to express local civic pride. Something to throw old bottles at when we were felling low. But then things went awry. And the next thing we knew, we'd built the snowman two stories high, and it was looking in the bedroom window. My Aunt Betty came into the room and saw the snowman looking in at her and screamed. We had to give her something blue from the medicine cabinet to calm her down. But a few minutes later, she wandered back into that upstairs room again, and the dilemma started all over again afresh. The moral of the story is that snow should be used only for hiding truancy slips from school and maybe as a last-ditch form of national defense, but never for creating a sixteen foot tall snowman...
Ummm....are you sure these are of the outdoors? I can get the same effect from my closet! :) mom

ReplyDeleteThe dark pictures are easier to see if you look at them from a bit of an angle. I know they are dark. The post's name is "night photos," not pictures taken with a flash in the dark (haha). It was the closest I could get to showing you what I saw that night. It was a really beautiful sight at 5 AM. That was the point, anyway.
