That's a pleasing picture Peter. It puts me in a relaxed mood.

Randy and Tuco: Thanks! I'm always happy when a photo op is about 100 yards from my house.
Ari, that must've been scary! In 1996 I was teaching one night in Green Bay, which is a little over an hour drive north from our house. Back home, the ladies and the dogs had to take cover in the basement. A nearby town was hit by a F5 tornado. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_O...rnado_outbreak

Bryan, you're on! I haven't been east of Texas.
Peter, our house shook, we ran for the basement, and it really felt like a jet plane had landed on our roof.
We walked out to find the house down the street was missing its roof. Farther along, a street known for its 100-foot-tall tree canopy had lost every single tree, with some destroying the house they sat next to.
I know what your family went through.
Apparently, this did get noticed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_U...rnado_outbreak
We're in Arlington Woods, we had an EF2 tornado.

Thanks Randy.
Here's something else. An unknown grave site at the Kettle Creek Revolutionary War Battlefield.
Nikon F2, 8mm f/2.8 fisheye, Delta 400, Pyrocat
At this site, white crosses dot the forest and marshland signifying the location of the fallen. After the battle on Valentine's Day in 1779, apparently the dead were buried where they fell by some of the Loyalists who were then freed. A few years ago ground-penetrating radar and cadaver dogs were used to locate some of these sites. More info.
