Week 33 - Nate

Work took me to Germany for a couple weeks this month. While there I managed to find some time to take pictures. This was the interior of a restaurant where we had dinner one night. Good beer, delicious food… what more could you want?

The rest of the photos from the trip are here.

Week 33 - Jordan

Last Sunday was my birthday, so I suckered Molly into letting me go to the "Fargo AirSho". I spent a few hours there getting sunburned and taking some photos. Even got an additional shot of the Civil Air Patrol plane I've written about previously.

In the photo below, there was an F-16 demonstration (by the Viper team, I think). I didn't know clouds did that when the sun comes through them, but I suppose it makes sense.

Week 32 - Jordan

All this week, the Pyrotechnics Guild International has been in town. Some nights have been pretty loud with the fireworks going off until 1AM, but they're fun to watch. David and I drove out on one of the non-show nights to check out the competition fireworks. We found a nice spot on some old wire spools next to a shed and proceeded to photograph the different pieces. I thought it was pretty sweet to watch. The rest of my photos from the night are here.

Week 31 - Jordan

This weekend, we tried to go disc golfing, but we got rained on instead. We ended up back at Kurt's house, where I proceeded to annoy his cats by trying to take their picture. The one below is Buddy, who, prior to this photo, had been sucking on that purple mouse (which is full of catnip). He was feeling pretty good.

After that, I had to depart to go do home things like fix a toilet and install a ceiling fan. The rest of the guys went downtown and ended up on a scavenger hunt of sorts. I think those of us that missed out on it will be going next weekend.

"I bet you can't get the sunset and me..." is what David said right before I took this. Sure, I had my flash out, but still. We spent the weekend at Brent's cabin doing fun stuff like being lazy. It was really nice.

Week 29 - Jordan

Tuesday morning, we were woken up by a pretty strong storm going and the local tornado sirens going off. That's sure what I want to have to think about at 4:30AM, but whatever, Mother Nature! Once the storm passed and I determined I would feel worse if I tried to sleep for an extra hour, I went outside to catch some of the super-crazy lightning on the back of the storm. There was simply a ton, which made getting this shot pretty easy.
