December 7

Another day of excellent clouds.

And reflections.

Look at the snow-melt pattern down there ... there must be nails or something, carrying heat from inside the building out to the surface.....

Mise-en-scene ... sitting at my desk, this is the whole scene I see, looking a bit to my left.  Horizon shots like the one at the top of this post are the little section of horizon that is immediately to the right of the other wing of this building.

These trees are pretty much covered by the stuff between the two window panes, in the previous shot.  I have to move closer to the window and look more to the right than the previous shot, to get one like this.

It was 4:30-ish.  The crows were gathering for the night.

There were a lot of clouds, but there was a lot of blue, too.

The mass of clouds had a definite edge.  I kept thinking the edge would go over us, and we'd have a clear sky, but it didn't happen while I watched.

These are the same trees as above, looking even more to the right.

This is the hill-that-is-the-horizon.

This is the big tree that must be pretty near the stadium.  I can only see it if I stand near the wall that is straight ahead when I sit at my desk, and sort of crane my neck around the end of this building's other wing.

I didn't realize the crows were considering this tree as a nightly perch, when I took the pic, but they were.  Here's a tighter crop of the previous shot.

Crows.  And the edge of the other wing.

Oooh!  It pays to keep your eyes on the sky, at sunset..... You never know, we might get a New Mexico sky, right here in Ann Arbor!
