Granada and a distant storm
I got up early on my last morning in Alpine and took a walk down Holland Avenue. When I turned around to go back to the hotel, I saw thunder clouds piling up above the mountains east of town.
Later, at breakfast, I heard a woman say she’d seen lighting.
It never rained.

Sweet ! And whatever the word sweet is in Spanish. Do the Alps extend to Spain ?

My Spanish is (very) limited, so I don’t know the translation for “sweet” in this context. Google Translate offers dulce (sweet, gentle, dulcet, dovelike), suave (soft, gentle, mild, sweet, silky, subdued), azucarado (sugary, sweet, sugared, sugar-coated, candied), meloso (mellow, sweet, honeyed, mealy, saponaceous, smooth-spoken), and fresco (fresh, cool, crisp, new, sweet, sassy). But none of those sound quite right…

Wow, thanks for the lesson!

Thanks, Kate. I’m lucky to have a camera that shoots really well in low light. Not well enough to get me up before dawn every day, but still…

I would love an apparatus to get me out of bed everyday (he he) but not before dawn!

Those hours before dawn are lovely. At least that’s what someone told me. I have that other thing to do around that time of day: sleeping.

Yes, I think someone told me the same thing! Zzz Zzz.

I like the processing. Very moody, as if rain were expected.

Thanks. Rain was hoped for. But not expected. (It was a shame I’d already used my Photographers’ Floor Shine™ at the hotel lobby – this would have been way cool if the pavement had been wet.)

Can you get that stuff in large quantities – like enough to fill a diesel tank like you see in the back of pickups but equiped with a spray hose?

50 gallon drum is the largest size. But you have to have a permit to purchase that much at one time.

Oh. I have an aversion to permits. Lets stick with smaller amounts.

Anyway, there’s not enough room in my camera bag for a 50 gallon drum AND inflatable boulders.
