It was very early when we left this morning, drizzling, and a Saturday. That meant it was dark and there was almost no traffic on the roads. I took some photos which turned out very dark. Playing around I discovered gThumbs’ “enhance” feature which is pretty cool. It’s like turning on night vision after the fact.
Here’s the empty dark street before and after the enhancement:
The walk was fine. For the most part we walked through a drizzle or mist. Gradually the sun came up but you couldn’t see it through the clouds – everything just became brighter. At one point we heard this noise that at first we took to be the sound of the rain coming harder as we walked up a hill. But that wasn’t the case because it wasn’t raining harder. It turned out to be power lines:
I guess I haven’t been around high-power lines before but I was surprised at the sizzling, hissing, loud noise the lines made. I can’t imagine living near them.
At one point in the walk there were llamas but the image didn’t come out well. We ended up completing the walk much faster than I anticipated so I was early to the meeting but that was fine.
