Orange Moon

It was a bit shocking today to look over at this rig and see what appeared to be a bad fire, but as we were moving along it soon became obvious it only looked this way because of perspective. Really we were just seeing the flames coming off the natural gas flare pipe which they were flaring at full power today.

December 13, 2013: Shelf Cloud

365 Project, Day 137

Here is my day 137 submission to my 365Project:

I'm catching up on posting photos (I'm writing this in early February...amazing how fast time goes when life happens :). My photo today is of an offshore cloud formation which I believe is called a shelf cloud, so here's a cloud quote:

"The sky, a perfect empty canvas, offers clouds nonetheless. They shift and drift and beg interpretation...such is the nature of art."

~Jeb Dickerson

Offshore cloud formations...this appears to be a shelf cloud formation

Fun fact of the day:

Shelf clouds are low, horizontal wedge shaped clouds.

August 15, 2013: Moon Fearing Cloud

365 Project, Day 55

Here is my day fifty-five submission to my 365Project:

Well, it is another moon shot but with a slightly different twist. I liked the way the 'man on the moon' looked like he was fearing the approaching clouds! 

Fun fact of the day:

The moon is not round (or spherical) instead it is shaped like an egg. If you go outside and look up, one of the small ends is pointing right at you. The moon's centre of mass is not at the geometric centre but about 2 km off centre.
