Let there be light


Let there be light, originally uploaded by carlcmc.

I woke up before sunrise. From beyond the horizon, the sun was illuminating the clouds in the sky. The sky was brilliant for about 10 minutes. It was then cloudy for the rest of the day.

When we were at Alexandria, Mn for the weekend, I took some time to photograph the sights. The sun was setting, casting the warm yellow light on the area. I used my circular polarizer to help trim some of the refractions as well.

We stayed at the Arrowwood Resort in Alexandria, Mn for my CME conference (MAPA). Out the back of the resort, I set up my camera and photographed the sunset on the water. Here is one result.

Our new shed


Our new shed, originally uploaded by carlcmc.

I photographed this at around 7:50 am this morning. The light was peeking through the clouds creating a 'glory' pattern. The concrete is poured and we inscribed our names in it (picture of that still to come). The shed has the lights installed. All that is left is for the excavator to do some smoothing up.

Greene Valley School group pic


Greene Valley School group pic, originally uploaded by carlcmc.

Our children participated in a school project on 10/27/07 at Greene Valley Rochester SDA School. It was called a wax museum and they picked either famous historical figures (for the older children) or role models (for the younger children). They dressed up as them, wrote a report and made a poster board on it. When people came through, they would drop a ticket it and then the child would come to life and act out their part. Natalie was Abigail Adams. Danielle was Annie Oakely and Brent was Carl, a Urology Physician Assistant.

Brent's routine was to say that he told people to 'Turn around and drop your pants'. His get up included a plastic glove with a finger that was colored brown!
