It's been raining since Tues night w/more showers, rain and TStorms forecast for the next several days.

So, here's 3 shots of basically the same "view" out my library/'puter room window for comparo.
First pic, "Good", is a lucky shot I made about a week ago: Very early in am, just as sun had broken over mtn horizon to my far left, (toward NE). Long, manual exsposure on 'pod. Still dark down in town valley and on Mtn ridges directly across from us, due to oblique angle of sunrise:
Next pic, "Bad", is same view this past Thurs am, as rain had subsided for a few mins, but the clouds and fog, ("the smokes"), blanketed the mtns and valleys:
Last, "The Ugly"; same view out my lib. window this afternoon...it has looked like this most of the daylight time for past 3 days. I gotta tell ya' that this gets very fooking depressing, visually, after a few days of this. NEway, comparison pics...it is not always spectacular up here on the mtn & MaNature is a heartless ol'babe. Good weekend to all the Faves&Regs&Viewers.
