It was quite foggy in the evening and after everyone went to bed, I took the camera for a little wander around the area to see if there was anything I could catch. There was a nice golden glow from the street lights which lit everything up, but it was crushed in the camera a bit, so I added a little back in post-edit to return to its glory.
With this day being so incredibly busy with work, I am going to let the photos "speak for themselves" more than I usually do perhaps, but it is never really sure. I often say that at the start and by the end, I still have 1000+ words under the title.
Speaking of titles, does anyone think I should add titles that are less obtuse? You know, like should I have called this one, "Photos from around the place on a misty night", instead of the far less descriptive title I used? I dunno - I just get bored with being told what I am going to look at or read. It feels too much like a laugh track.
The above image is the mist being blown across one of the garden lights, it is shot at quite a fast speed, but I wanted the trails still I took another where each drop was clear, but it wasn't very interesting at all.
And look at this exciting thing! It is the external unit for the air-water heat exchanger that we use to produce the heat for our house and for our hot water system. It is pretty much silent, but when it drops below about -12, we end up having to use nearly all electricity to heat instead. Fingers crossed for a very mild winter this year!
Wouldn't it be nice if gold fell from the sky?
It was a bit strange being outside though, as for some reason, there was not a single car that drove past in all the time I was out there. Normally, the road isn't overly quiet, but thankfully, the houses are so insulated that we don't hear the traffic - most of the time. There are the annoying 15-year-olds on mopeds and peewee-50s that buzz past - until the ice is on the road.
This last one is what got me out there in the first place, as this is the scene from outside the front door and it looks "kinda spooky" in this light and the house across the way is the kind of place murders have happened - or will.
Well, since this is a photo post and I am in training sessions for the rest of the day, I think I will have to cut it off short here and get back to Hive in the evening after 10 or whatever it is when I get home. These Team weeks are all well and good, but spending so much time with the Team can get a little bit grating, especially since they are planned down to the minute with even the scheduled breaks, spent talking about work stuff.
Only 4.5 days left....
