Somebody published a geocache within walking distance of the house. Well, i’ve walked over there twice and can’t find it. It’s in a tree just to left of this scene. I didn’t find the cache but I’ve got two walks over to look for it and a not bad photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A full moon in October. Not the greatest I’ve done but here it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And a better rendition of a half moon, also in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got a new action camera recently. It’s a GoPro clone at literally one tenth the cost. About seventy percent as good as a GoPro, so I’m ahead the way I figure it. I attach it to my bike’s handlebars and set it to take a photo every ten seconds. Most of the photos are of nothing memorable so I delete them. I love vintage power plants and this is Public Service Company of Oklahoma’s Tulsa Power Station. It hardly ever runs but it still on the rate base making money for PSO whether it runs or not. I used to work for a sister company to PSO that supplied the gas to all the power plants. We had a systems that would show us graphically all the gas the power company was burning to make electricity. It was cool watching the load go up during extremely hot or cold weather. Lots of people worked hard to make sure the lights stayed on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is another action camera shot of this person riding an escooter on the RiverParks trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And somebody else walking their dog and a guy in an electric wheelchair crossing the river on the new pedestrian bridge. A big variety of people use Tulsa’s RiverParks. I’m always amazed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A sunset drone shot from 50 meters above my back yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And a stormy weather drone shot about 30 meters above my back yard. Stormy means windy and my little microdrone doesn’t like wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s sall this week folks. Sorry I don’t have a theme besides skies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
