I could see the lights through my sunroof and decided to get out--
they were right over me! This pic was taken with the camera on its
back!

I drove towards pt. Woronzof but never made it to the point. I
stopped at the bluff at the end of the runway. I took a bunch of pics
through the car window because it was cold and the car was so warm...

terrible picture!

terrible picture!, originally uploaded by aimos325.

Well, it was late at night and I was freezing and in no mood to be
taking pictures at -10 degrees. Then the lights pretty much stopped.
So I was sitting in the car when I spotted this... so it's taken from
my dashboard, with the car running and way too high of an ISO to look
even close to OK... but there they were. Once I took a few pictures
I put my camera down and just watched. :-) (oh, and tried to point
them out to the dog but she was freezing and didn't care)

new hooks!

put some fold-up Ikea hooks by my front door. I'm so excited about
them! They were a pain to line up and hang but I think they look
really cool! They're not as heavy-looking as one of those boards with
hooks and they fold out of the way when not in use! And I like that
they wrap around the corner too.
