Wanuskewin is a National Historic Site of Canada near Saskatoon, Saskatchewan that was a gathering place for thousands of years.
Thursday December 1 2005. The last light of the last day of Van Nguyen's life. The 25 year old Melbourne man was hanged at dawn in Singapore's Changi prison the following morning. Very sad.
This is the only light post next to a building and it looks pretty old. I'm going to try and take a picture of it when it gets dark so I'll have to wait till November when we have the time change.

Shooting the lightpost at about 4:30pm made it possible to illustrate (1) early evening daylight - note, the lights are not on yet and (2) the winter clouds of Texas. This photograph was shot in Kemah, Texas on Saturday, January 29th, 2011.
We were putting the finishing touches on a new cooling tower installation at work. 4 new units on the 6 floor level with an impressive crane doing the lifting. I managed to get a couple of shots on the way to the parking lot.
Lightpost is in the foreground.
An excellent page explaining the science behind that age-old rule of thumb about sailors and red sky can be found here. The basic idea is that high pressure areas of the atmosphere tend to contain a lot of "dirty" air (soot, dust, other particles), and low angle sunlight passing through dirty air experiences scattering such that mainly reddish wavelengths arrive at the observer. As a result: "Since it is morning you are looking east, and the red sky indicates that there is high pressure there. Because you are in the mid-latitudes, the high is moving eastward--away from you. That could only mean that a low, and very likely an associated storm, is moving toward you from the west. Sailor take warning!"
Throw back Thursday
I was recently shown a social media post that went something along these lines….
Going outdoors – not cancelled
Music - not cancelled
Family - not cancelled
Reading - not cancelled
Singing - not cancelled
Laughing - not cancelled
Hope - not cancelled
Let’s remember what we have
Rather than going out and creating new images, it seems appropriate to look back at past collections of beautiful things our area has to offer during these difficult times and that will still be here when we are done with the current conditions….
Stay safe, stay supportive
