This is looking to the south from our house. Last night a severe thunderstorm came through our area.
This shot is looking over the lake (you can make out the reflections of the lights near the bottom). Amazingly, the stars are visible above the storm.
This shot was a 30 second exposure set at f4.5 and iso1600 on my D70.

I’ve started sketching recently and wanted to take this great day, the birth of our nation to post a caricature I sketched of Abraham Lincoln, probably the best United States president and the first Republican president.
I’ve been reading a very good biography of Lincoln and decided between that and being so close to Philadelphia, our nation’s first capital (at least until 1800), this was the best day to draw him.
Hope you like! I know it’s not the greatest, but it’s my first humble attempt at caricatures.
“You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.” – Abraham Lincoln
