Life Goes On

I suppose. Even in a fascist country. 

It's very possible that the majority of my focus in the future will shift back to state parks and other locations going forward. We'll see come spring.

This morning there was a brief period of sun between rain and total overcast skies. I had a quick walk around Peebles Island State Park in that period. I carried the newer of the two EOS R8 bodies and the 35mm lens.

Now

 I used to love election days.

        Now they make me sick.

I used to love reading and watching news coverage.

Now it makes me sick.

I used to accept and respect political opponents.

Now they make me sick.

I used to have pride in the progression from bigotry and greed toward 

liberty and justice.

Now greed and bigotry are wrapped in the flag.

It makes me sick.

Now they say they’ll ban vaccines if elected.

It’ll make us all sick.

But not as sick as they are now.

Maine Coast - Day 4

This morning's sunrise was so good I decided to skip over yesterday's and post this morning's today. Yesterday's sunrise was not great but at least better than Saturday's. I had both camera bodies ready to use, one with the 28-70mm lens and the other with the 85mm lens.  Some of those shots were posted to social media and a few are in the Maine Coast gallery at https://www.trulandphotography.com/Maine-Coast.

This morning's forecast was for clouds building to about 50% sky cover by sunrise. I figured the clouds would be coming from the west and the rising sun would light up those clouds sometime before sunrise. Accordingly, I had the 28-70mm lens on one body and the 24mm lens on the other to get more sky coverage. It worked out nicely.

I made a dedicated gallery with 40 images for this morning's sunrise at https://www.trulandphotography.com/Projects/November-Maine-Sunrise. Here are some with shooting information.
