Waiting in the lobby

 

He is tall

 

Fourteen feet tall, clothed in gold leaf, The Independent Man awaits return to his rightful place high atop the State House.  This relaxed view 3d stereograph presents him in the main lobby of that staid building.

 

 

Dark rays of light

 

Storm to come

 

On a sunny afternoon, spectacular crepuscular rays emanate from dark clouds, foreshadowing the developing hailstorm.

Ready to blow away

 

A common thistle ( Cirsium vulgare ) seed pod has exploded, ready to send its seed on the next wind.

 

 

Foggy fireworks

Fireworks will usually be fired even if the weather may not be exactly perfectly clear.  These aerial shells were lifted high enough to go off in the low level clouds.
