Christmas morning on the Naneum Fan\"\"<\/p>\n

Early in the fall I was with folks interested in seeing the Northern Lights. On one occasion they drove 30 miles to look for a display over a lake. Pictures on their iPhones showed faint blue and green streaks. The viewers expressed that the phone videos were more colorful than their unaided eyesight views. We tried it later, and sure enough, the phone video always looked more impressive.
\nI think my sunrise photos suffer from the same technicality. The colors are intense \u2013 almost like there was a wildfire on the horizon. My perspective was not quite so intense. I ought to run the image through a filter to make it more realistic \u2013 less flashy.
\nI wonder if there is and “app” for that?<\/p>\n

Phyllis and Cameron had me for Christmas (lunch time). There was some snow on the ground but about one o’clock snow began. This is a place that only get 9 inches of precipitation per year and this is the time of year for it. The heavy snow lasted for 2 hours. Very pretty and impressive. When I got home at dusk \u2013 expecting sever inches \u2013 there was none.
\n30 miles NW of me the area near Roslyn, where the TV series Northern Exposure was ‘filmed’, they got a foot or more.\"\"<\/p>\n

Other than keeping the fire going in the wood stove and not winning the big Mega Millions lottery (I didn’t have a ticket), the week was uneventful.<\/p>\n
