I had to drive my 22 year old son back to my Ex’s today. I kept the visit short as I knew the weather wasn’t going to stay nice. Got to drive through the first thunderstorm of the year up here and the wind made for some … entertainment … shall we say on a couple of bridges.

I don’t use phones (shudder) or HDR for photos. I realize that’s what a lot of folks prefer these days but I’m a bit of a Fudd like that 😉 At full resolution (there is a lot of compression needed for uploading here) on my screen at home there is considerably more detail in the shadows. It’s probably my learning to print in the 80’s showing …
