I looked out the shack window and witnessed an awesome sight.
A massive rain squall was coming towards the station and it turned the sky partly pitch black – incredibly dramatic and a rare moment of excitement for me.
By the time I had changed the lens and got the camera ready the drama was gone and the squall was right over the farm…..
I snapped one photo into the darkness for good measure and this is the result – I was not able to remove the sleet drops on the lens in processing.

This is my artistic attempt to describe a recent near death experience. Unlike previous incidents, this was quite peaceful. :-)
These are the Panorama photos I used to make the Virtual Tour.
Today´s photos…
Birta – Magyar Vizsla and Skuggi – Labrador enjoy the fine weather in the snow.
I found a few photo albums since the Whaling days of my youth.
These photos were taken by a work colleague (Siggi?) around 1978. I took the liberty of processing the images in HDR.
