At the park on Friday afternoon, the forbidden mating between a Canon body and a Nikon set of elements #silentsunday

The International Space Station is broadcasting pictures again for a little bit. Last time I was able to pick them up with a Baofeng radio and my phone decoding it acoustically in the room. I used Heavens Above to find a good time.

Flower posting on main ... This was actually a few days ago at the Park of Roses. Sort of nice but sort of sad but also not entirely new... but I see new rose buds around here even into winter. So. Lots of changes throughout the year in Ohio surprisingly. #bloomscrolling

Part of last night's sunset rainbow after the storms along Interstate 71 South near Grove City. My phone's automatic color balance wasn't having a good time, but this orange hue is about right. This is the 1:1 crop of the main sensor that the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL camera app does at 10x zoom.
Besides one side of the rainbow lightly accompanied by clouds there is a lamp post from the highway which has several lamps and lightning protection

From Rt. 4 onto Cedar Point Drive there used to be a tourist trap restaurant with half a classic car sticking out of it. I should dig to find some more photos, but I found this one from Pinterest after some digging trying to remember the name. Johnny Angel's, Sandusky, Ohio. Early 90s here I think.
A restaurant with half a car sticking out of it. Some cartoon bubbles and the word Crash! And a pole is also holding up the car lol.

Some kind of moire in the detail of the refraction here? I feel like two set of plants hairs are refracting and this is the interference between them but if anyone knows I'd love to hear !

Seated for this at MadLab they were just playing Hit Em Up Style while we wait for the 8pm performance. Should be great! Clips people were sharing were great.

For some unknown reason, when I search for pizza near me and then sort by distance, I get an endless scroll of just one place: Pizza Pizza in Leamington, Ontario, four hours away in another country. The listings also often feature an eye contact video of a gentleman filming himself eating there.

Starbucks makes a little money on the balance of your card. You may be to refund your balance either in the app or by calling (800) 782-7282 (in some states).
