Mike, Here is a short clip of some brave tuba players making warm music in a cold snowstorm. My battery ran out, so there is only one pan across the band. The film ends at a point where a repeat might sound OK. Maybe you can put it into a loop? –rakkity
Hi Mike, This gallery starts out with one of the most amazing NIGHT time exposures. There’s a blue sky with stars, and spectacular clouds over and around an active volcano. The subsequent shots aren’t too shabby either.–rakkity
Michael, The day before yesterday we finally got some snow around here. About a foot of lovely powder fell on Boulder county early Sunday morning. So Katie and I decided to take advantage of it before it disappeared in a chinook or one of those dratted warm spells. The County’s Open Space has a nice […]

Mike, Here‘s an unusual movie of one of our favorite celestial objects. The black curve is the edge of the Sun–the top of the photosphere that you see by eye. Above it is the roiling, boiling chromosphere as seen by Hinode’s ultraviolet telescope. –rakkity
Mike, With Katie and Patrick here in Boulder at Thanksgiving, we couldn’t pass up a chance to reprise our 3-way racketball games, especially since Patrick brought 2 rackets in his luggage. So off to the north gym we went, and played 2 3-way games, giving KT a 5 point handicap. (For those who always want […]
Michael, Although you love intense color, you might consider these uncolorful photographs by Melford. Many of the shots are sepia, but they could as well be black and white. With few exceptions the subject, Death Valley, needs only one dimension in colorspace. While you’re at it, get out your 40-inch screen a view Victoria Crater, […]
Michael, Easterners, with a few exceptions, don’t worry about wildfires too much. But Californians and, to a lesser extent, Coloradans,take wildfires as an inescapable part of life. Much like Kansans and tornadoes, probably. Since two of the “Beartoothers”, members of the Fogy Fivesome hiking crew, live in the San Diego area, and my sister & […]
Michael,Boring clouds in Maryland, exciting clouds in Colorado. I’ve been collecting clouds since we arrived here. Here you will find my latest best dozen cloud shots. In the past months there were several phantasmagorical sky views I couldn’t shoot for various reasons, like driving 70 mph down a crowded road (not being a Miller), absent […]
Mike, My old buddy Chuck is hobbling around with an undiagnosible knee problem. First his doc told him he had a torn meniscus in his left knee. Then the MRI showed nothing. So he’s going to physical therapy, and his therapist told him to go do a lot of biking. He called me up and […]
Michael, The Japanese satellite Kaguya, now in lunar orbit, as we speak is taking high-resolution shots of the earth (see attachment). The scuttlebutt is that Kaguya will proceed to take time-lapse pictures of Earth, showing its rotation and its phases from new to first quarter to full to 3rd quarter and back to new. Perhaps […]
