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?
