Dec 08, 2016 Annex Update

So I have not posted any updates for some time 

due to the fact that most everything was being done inside 

where I couldn't get any pictures of it.

Well it has now been turned over to us for the 

custodial even though there are several things still 

being completed.

Today we had to put down carpet squares and 

put up some round tables to show how they will work and 

get approvals for the way it is done.

So while I was getting pictures for us to use later 

in setting up for dinners I decided to take a 

few more of the offices and other areas.

There are two curtains that can be lowered to divide the 

area into three parts.

This is the setup for the smaller areas.

And this for the larger center area.

Our north storage area is already too small.

This is the taping area complete with a shower 

that is in full view of the court.

There is also a cryo tank for freezing

you to a very low temp, apparently

works wonders for a body.

  The rest of the taping room.

Main west hallway from the Marriott Center

The stairwell is a makeshift sauna.

Doors at the top trap all of the heat 

and it is probably 10 or more degrees hotter at the top.

Food preparation area.

 

Out south storage area complete with a lot of items 

still being used for construction.

This is the view of two of the 

coaches offices from the floor.

The dream of any training coach is the 

heavily loaded training room.

This is one of the conference rooms.

And this is one of two theaters that will have a

95 inch ($17K) tv.

 on this wall

Women's team office hallway

Assistant's office cubicles 

One of the coach's offices

  more of the assistant's area

Another conference room 

View of the floor from the second level 

banister, that runs along the outside of the offices

from the women's to the men's side.

A view of the lobby upstairs level.

I will post more pictures of that area later,

 it will be the hall of fame area with all of the

basketball awards.

More first snow, at home

The first snow at home caught my eye due to the 

contrast 0f colors in the rocks and wood.

Very beautiful.

Winter is here

I am not fond of my camera on my phone

but when that is all I have I will use it.

Images taken from my work after the first

significant snow fall this year.

Mount Timpanogos is really pretty with the first sunlight

splashing on it in the morning.

The light was beautiful but this camera on my phone

just didn't cut it, but by the time I got to my car

in the parking lot and retrieved my SLR

it was gone.

Just some misc images from this summer

I was just going through some images from this 

year and decided to post a few. 

 

This little rattle snake was so young that it didn't have 

and rattles but his tail still vibrated rapidly 

and it was very aggressive.

Question answered by supermoon

The supermoon gave me a perfect opportunity to 

answer a question that I have had for sometime

now and never bothered to answer.

I will give the question and answer after 

this first image of the supermoon.

A little shot of the moon a bit too high of 

an exposure and adjusted in bridge. 

I kind of liked the neon effect.

OK the question:

Does the moon look the same at night as it does in the morning 

when it is on the other side of the sky?

When I asked this question of others I got three responses.

1. Of course not.

2. Of course it does.

and number

3. I don't know, that is a good question.

Well it really should be an obvious answer as it has changed

from one angle to another as it crosses the sky, but

I decided I had to prove it.

So on my way to work at 5:30 AM on November 14, 2016

I stopped my car and took a few pictures. 

I way underexposed them so that I could see the features better.

Western Sky : 5:30 AM  11/14/2016

Then that evening I took another image at around 7 PM

when it was in the Eastern sky as it came up over

the mountain East of my home.

Eastern Sky : 7:00 PM  11/14/2016

I got the answer I expected as you can see in these images 

that the angle does indeed make a difference.

These were both taken from the raw image in my camera and 

exposure slightly adjusted to make them the 

same illumination.

Now I have another question that I will need to answer next spring.
What does it look like during the different seasons?
