I take the picture. It might not be realistic depending on what camera settings I used. Or perhaps I edited the photo to change colors, strengthen colors, brighten shadows, delete elements, add elements, etc. Point being it's my representation (I don't want to use the word "art"). If you want to quibble about it not being realistic, too bad.
From WGN's John Williams: An elephant meets a naked man. The elephant says "Cute, but can it pick up a peanut?"
Olney, Illinois in southeast central Illinois. You really do not want to hit one with your car, it might be a felony. The city park has lots of white squirrels. If you have a real desire to see them, Olney is a little south of I-70 in eastern Illinois. Just watch where you're going, seriously.
Those purple sabrewings are incredible, aren't they? And it looks like you got one like my UHH avatar.
The NHRA publication National Dragster used to run a column about drag race car rear suspensions. I hate to tell you this but every moment "in the air" is wasted time. Engine power is not being used to accelerate the vehicle. As cool as it looks, wheel stands don't help win anything. Expensive sophisticated 4 link rear suspensions hardly ever allow wheelstands. That torque is transferred in such a way as to increase downforce. These 4 links are not the ones customizers use.
The Russian balalaika is a guitar-like instrument with 3 strings. We were at a performance with vocals and balalaikas, 3 or 4 or them. Sorry Paul McCartney, they don't ring out. (line in his "Back in the USSR")
Dick Biondi! Where did you go?
(I know, RIP)
Help me understand. You live in or near Cape May which is part of New Jersey. The ocean is east of Cape May. Being a cape, there may be bays of water west of some peninsula or jetty or something. But your shots have the ocean all the way to the horizon. How does that work?
HDR was my first thought too. One might experiment first on a similar night with various exposure compensation values, try to figure out how many one might need for an HDR shot.
Regarding EVs, there are all these wonderful wonderful battery breakthroughs just around the corner! Charging time cut in half! Range doubled! Non lithium solid state batteries! As Peter DeLorenzo would say "a big bowl of we'll see." So far they're all vaporware.
We should have seen them in Peoria a couple of years ago when they opened for Bob Seger. Sigh. They've opened for a virtual who's who of the music scene. Their name, Larkin Poe, is their great-grandfather's name (maybe, some ancestor or other) who was descended from Edgar Allen Poe.
$500 for a color on a Jeep? See this weeks Auotextremist.com about Jeep pricing. Seems they're following Porsche's marketing plan.
This is no surprise. Of course one's age plus year of birth is today's year.
The skunks might be after lawn grubs. If so get Scott's GRUB-X, apply it and water it in. You can check your yard for grubs easily enough, if the turf pulls up like a rug would and you see plenty of grubs there's your problem.
There are Nature's Miracle (brand name) products that do a good job of neutralizing skunk odor.
As an aside, you might recall from Gen. Psychology 101 that earthworms learn not to get on a copper grid because the scientist will shock them. Behavioral stuff. I had a schnauzer that got sprayed several times, he wouldn't learn that a black kitty with white stripes means a Nature's Miracle bath. He's not as smart as an earthworm.
All that everyone here says is true, great shot, nice car, etc. If people love Auburns, Duesenbergs, and Cords then one needs to visit the Auburn-Cord-Dusenberg museum in Auburn, Indiana. It's not far from South Bend, home of Notre Dame University and the Studebaker Museum. Auburn is the next exit north of Ft. Wayne. There is much more to the ACD museum than those 3 marques. If you plan to go, budget at least 2 hours for your visit.
