Here’s a shot of the Wando bridge from Daniel Island.

We have wet, warm winters down here, and it’s common to see all kinds of celestial activities. On December 2nd, I caught this circumzenithal arc in the late afternoon sky.

Though past it’s peak in the photo, you can still see the tell-tale bending towards the sun, with the red band on the outside. It makes me want to kick back and think about this crazy physics experiment we call home.

Have a joyous, creative holiday everyone.

Five weeks on crutches changes the way you see things. Everything from architectural accessibility to time management becomes an issue.

Other things are just annoying, like the sore armpits and the loud crutches. My family and coworkers quickly noticed my click-clack as I hobbled around, and I soon found the adjustable bars of my ubiquitous gray crutches were the source.

After some thinking, I realized a quick application of masking tape could solve the problem. Once around at the base, and again at the locking button - then repeat on the other crutch. It worked better than I thought, and remained in use for the duration of my need. A better look could be achieved with duct tape, or perhaps go festive with colored electrical tape.

The important thing is to be creative, and enjoy using your crutches in silence.

Happy modding!

Here is a first attempt at HDR. Taken on a bright morning out near the end of Sullivan’s Island, SC.

Here is a scrap image that’s been tweaked a little bit.
