Photographs

The recent procurement of a
digital camera means there are a lot more pictures available then
previously. This does not, however, mean that I have any intention
of posting hundreds of megabytes of photos. One reason is the hosting
burden, but quite frankly, though your are no doubt a nice person, I
don't want to make all my pictures available to just anyone on the
web. I will probably end up having mainly general interest pictures
here, e.g., ones suitable for backgrounds. For the time being, I've
posted pictures I took (well, I took most of them) shortly after
getting my new camera.
Windmills [April 18, MMII]
slides
As mentioned in my journal section, the local IEEE club sponsored an outing to the local wind farm. It was an interesting trip, and I got some good pictures along with pictures of other qualities. Here they are for your viewing pleasure.
Whitman Mission sunrise [March 30, MMII]
slides
Early Sabbath morning we climbed the hill at Whitman Mission to see the sun rise. I took way too many pictures that day (the actual count for the day is 114), so I need to sort through them and at least weed out duplications. In the mean time, I'm posting the nine pictures I had developed at may local walmart. Hmm, it seems I've managed to copy over the sunset picture that I had developed. I really hate that. Note to self: mark all photos as read only. Instead, I'm having the next sunset picture (take just after the lost one) stand in for the deleted one.
Ah, the saga continues. It seems that I hadn't erased my flash card yet after all, so I had a backup of image 100 which I accidentally deleted. It is now here along with image 101 which stood in for it yesterday. What great fun. I'm glad it is not lost after all.
Walla Walla [March 9, MMII]
slides
A few of us when for a walk that might be characterized as a very easy
hike on Sabbath afternoon. One of our party decided not to cross the
creek by jumping from one concrete baffle to the next (baffles
pictured in the first few pictures). This led to the rest of us going
around the lake in the opposite direction. We came back and visited
for awhile, then had sun-down worship. One of our number had to go
and, amusingly enough, was replaced by a late arrival. After Sabbath
was over, we traveled to a grocery store where we bought ingredients.
Most of the pictures are from after the hike. (I didn't keep my
camera out and at the ready.)
