It Was a Dark and Stormy Night

And we had just got back from a community meeting regarding a landowner's application to have 61,000 cubic meters of soil dumped on his property, which is a former gravel pit, to bring it back to agricultural use.
And I needed to take my photo.

This was taken through the raindrops on the bathroom window, looking at the light on the end of the barn. Larry is out there shutting in chickens and feeding Pride.

Taken without the tripod, shutter speed of .5 of a second.



And this is a shot of our bedroom ceiling.  Anyone else have one of those clock things that projects the time anywhere you want it to, in the dark?  It's great for us old fogeys to be able to see the time when we wake up in the middle of the night.  No worries about trying to focus the eyes to read the clock radio.  There is the time, big and bold, where ever you want to project it.  The farther you project it, the bigger it gets.  
Note that I had to hold the camera relatively still for five seconds to get this shot.  Five seconds seems like one heck of a long time, but I was laid on my back on the bed.  I might have fallen asleep:)
