Space Station Fly Over

Here is a picture taken in southern Indiana near the town of Sellersburg last Friday. It is the International Space Station flying overhead from southwest to northwest. The picture was taken with a Canon Powershot Pro1 using a 15 second exposure. It is the thin golden streak in the bottom left of the picture.

Sparkles

Using a 10 second exposure on the camera I took a nail and a Dremel tool with a sharpening stone and started sharpening. It was in a dark garage and you can see at the end of bright lines a orange-brown object which is the filing bit cooling off. The yellowish streak is the spark trail from the filing flying away from the sharping wheel.

Shamrocks

Last time I was in Ireland, I got a chance to see genuine Irish shamrocks along a park path.

I found this picture this weekend looking for photos to put in a photo contest.
