Snowmaking is the production of snow by forcing water and pressurized air through a "snow gun," also known as a "snow cannon", on ski slopes. Snowmaking is mainly used at ski resorts to supplement natural snow. This allows ski resorts to improve the reliability of their snow cover and to extend their ski seasons from late autumn to early spring. Indoor ski slopes often use snowmaking. They can generally do so year-round as they have a climate-controlled environment.
The production of snow requires low temperatures. The threshold temperature for snowmaking increases as humidity decreases. Wet bulb temperature is used as a metric since it takes air temperature and relative humidity into account. Snowmaking is a relatively expensive process in its energy use, thereby limiting its use.

Sally is presently making Roman Blinds with cloud material for our daughter's nursery (her baby due today...)
If there are those who have not yet made Roman Blinds, Sally's advice - Do Not Start!

With my evening plans of chasing the Jail south to Leslie killed off by the crew telling me they were going north to Lansing. I left Mason for Grand Ledge instead to light up train L304 heading west to Lake O. When I arrived I made quick work of setting my flashes but that was very quickly put on a dead crawl as I heard something walking through the Tall Grass. With the first lights set i went to figure out what the hell was following me around. Well as I neared the moving grass I saw a dark cute Little cat but it was no cat it was a fucking cute little skunk. Him and I talked for a few minutes and made an agreement we would not interrupt each other. Me foaming him looking for tasty bugs, as I set the lights I saw him several more times and he never gave me any fear or issues. As the crew worked the west end of Ensel they would trip the circuit and the signal popping up to clear.. after the 5th time of this and me grabbing the camera I gave up and sat in my car until I could finally hear the far off distant humm of 645's. A pair of 40-2's and a small train cruise through Grand Ledge passing the former C&O search light.

High tide time at Porty, waves rolling into the wooden groynes which protect the sands of the beach against erosion.
In Thailand stray dogs are everywhere and are known as Soi dogs (alley dogs). They are fed but left to roam around and although they mostly keep away from humans they can be a nuisance especially if you are cycling as they like the thrill of the chase.
Up here on Monkey Hill just outside Phuket Town they have an uneasy relationship with the macaques that also live there. We saw soi dogs being chased away by the monkeys, but we also saw plenty of tender moments like this where the soi dogs were groomed by the monkeys.
...of bad conditions. Having only one morning a week to get out with my camera can be very frustrating, especially as I am at the mercy of the weather. Once again this week there was some fantastic conditions though the week while I was at work, then more flat grey skies on my day off. This is the 3rd week in a row now so I am hoping for some better conditions before autumn is over, especially now the colours are really starting to change. This is a crop from a wider pano that I shot at Thirlmere yesterday morning where water levels are still very low.
This is the last photo that I'm gonna upload of the backstage of my first video until it goes out ! to keep the surprise:P
