Well, okay, they’re an interesting series of pictures to me.
I know enough about cameras that you shouldn’t point them directly into the sun to take a picture, but I do it all the time. You just never know what you’re going to get.
It doesn’t help to have a simple point and shoot camera, a good one, but a point and shoot none the less.
The controls are limited, banding of colors is likely, lens flare… but as I said, I do it all the time and at times things work out well.
In this series of pictures something odd happened.
I can explain away the dot of light in the upper left of these images. About a year ago I dropped my camera and put a tiny ding off to the side on the glass that covers the lens. But even then, after many, many pictures taken I’ve never seen it show up in another image.
The rest, no clue.
I was at Silver Springs on Sunday for the last two hours of daylight. I thought for sure the sun was going to come out, but the cloud cover moved in and made for a less than spectacular sunset.
At the very end the sun slipped below the clouds along the horizon and I thought for sure it would light up the whole underside of the clouds. That didn’t happen. Instead I got what follows.
I took one shot about every 30 seconds or so. After each shot I would look at it on the small screen on the back of the camera. I never saw what I see in the bigger images. Granted, it’s a tiny little screen, but still.
The third image is the one that creeps me out the most, but the whole progression just seems so odd. Even the wife looks at them and with her cynical attitude has to agree that they are a little creepy.
She calls it an angel. She thinks it means someone I know is going to die soon. I’m hoping she’s wrong.

23 Oct 2013I paid for this Jim. Had a severe case of reverse tunnel vision for awhile. Had to keep turning my head to the side to see where I was going. I’ll probably do it again. I never learn.

23 Oct 2013With my art background Dick I’m pretty well versed in all things myth and symbol. I’m forcing my brain to not make too much of this. I know it’s just the lens, when I would look at it I didn’t see it. Does make ya wonder just a little bit though. Heavenly indeed.

23 Oct 2013You can read a lot into these pictures. I prefer to believe that there is life here on earth.
