Sipping my now cold coffee dregs… Ugh… and waving the big guy with the greasy t-shirt from last week over for a refill… and much sugar and a lot of creams… yeesh… lets look at the other page… Yup.. more hieroglyphics.. but there are letters I can see spaced around…. Who thought this up. Oh, there are numbers there too. WHy does this remind me of library filing systems…
Wataday… It was just like that. mooshed together. Thanks to Dave R for taming my wacky computer. That was novel. Other than that it was shotgunned big time. But it was a good day. Learned things and have to write it all down so I don't forget it. Now ensconced in my chair. Dog on lap I can sit back and shake off the day. Lots of thoughts running through my head and lots to process. I hope your day was as interesting and productive.
I worked on some polars last night. The first was a stretch. I had to first straighten up and skew to fit. Then tone map and polar adjust. It was tough but it came out great. I will post it first below. The second one went off the left side of the tracks and didn't come back. I trashed it. Still working on borders and label area. I think I am going to work on that more tonight. Hoping to get out tomorrow or Sunday and shoot some street signs to see what can be done with them. I have a want to shoot street signs, corners and sidewalks. Not as impressive as my home cities sidewalks but there is still something there.

Polarmapped and tweaked. Love the surround. I think I could compress it and make it better. More readable.
Three watchers.
Another run with the three mini snowmen. They are watching a National Guard Helo pick up hay to take to outlying horses and cows in a heavy snow area.
Thumbs Up.
Taken by Phil H. The thumbs up is because to land where we are I had to maneauver in higher than normal winds at rooftop and treetop level ( without hitting them ) to get to this specific small cacti filled space and land without eating said cacti. There was no other place to land short of the reservation. It was a clincher but came down to being awesome. Okay we hit one cactus. It moved! As much as I love flying it really can take your full concentration and trys your abilities to hit where you need to. If it looks easy its that way because that Pilot is that good. Its also nerve racking.. so you have the joy of flying like no other aircraft can fly but also you have to be able to get it to a safe place to land. Wooooo... fun. I had two GoPros attached. Its on my web page. Crazy.

Yikes.. If you live in London.. be careful where you pee... there is some people out there testing it...
It was brought to my attention from a very astute source that a lot of processes for creating art is being lost.
I think it is impressive. I think losing these Artists abilities is a very bad thing.
On the lighter side.. these are mostly funny...
Oh some of these are wonderful.... I would live in almost any of them.. way excellent end of Friday.
