The Star Spangled Banner Oh, say! can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming; Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say! does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

A lot of propane tanks being stored in a field near my town. I developed this roll of film last night and it turned out real grainy. I had never used Ilford HP5+ film before, so I don't know if it's supposed to be this grainy or if it's because of how the film was stored. This film and four other rolls came with a camera I bought and the film was long expired, so it might be that. Or it might be that this film and developer combination doesnt work well together. Who knows? But the camera was broken when I bought it, so I was able to fix it and got it working properly. All in all, I guess I can't complain.

I celebrated Turko de Mayo for the 11th year in a row. It's a holiday I created so that I could have my favorite meal, which is Thanksgiving dinner, in May. That way, it's always only six months away until I can cook another turkey. I had a 17lb. turkey, mashed potatoes and homemade turkey gravy, home-canned green beans with smoked sausage, stove top stuffing, homemade dinner rolls, cranberry sauce and homemade pumpkin pie. I had a friend over and it was delicious!

This shot of my town's water tower was taken when it was nearly pitch black. But the long 2-minute exposure picked up the glow from the lights of my town behind it and an oil pumping facility just off the right edge of the frame really lit up the water tower itself.

This facility pumps oil down a pipeline that stretches halfway across America, into Texas. During World War II, Adolph Hitler had a plan to blow up this complex to disrupt our oil reserves. Fortunately, the war ended before Germany could act on the plan. It's about one block from the edge of my town.
