Equinox challenge: Pacific Northwest 7:49 am

Edmonds-Kingston ferry 7:50 am sailing – last car and last few passengers make the dash aboard.

It was a quiet grey morning – very fitting for the Autumnal Equinox.

Chasing a sunset.

I have a demo reel assignment for my multimedia class this week where we have to demonstrate our filming and editing skills. My friend Annie Flanagan (check out her web site) and I chased a sunset across town in an attempt to get nice shots for a time lapse. Unfortunately we didn’t catch the sun actually going down, but the light was incredibly beautiful for about an hour after.

A Korean-War-era van rusts away high atop Colorado’s Niwot Ridge. I’ve passed it many times on field trips over the years. This is the first time I fully saw it.

Equinox Challenge: Rocky Mountain Blues, 8:49am MDT

Some of us decided on a little challenge for today: Autumnal Equinox was set to strike at 10:49am EDT, so everyone should take a picture at that moment. I’m not sure how many of my colleagues are playing, but here’s my contribution.

A proper English breakfast.
