Long-Term Care Luau

The Long-Term Care at the Medical Center had a potluck "Luau" to drive away any remaining winter. It seemed to work, because during the luau the clouds began to break apart and the sun came through. Shelley made a pineapple-upside-down-cake for the luau.

The clouds came back while I was out on my out-and-back to the Post Office, but by evening the sun was shining through the clouds once more.

The LTC photos are in one gallery site. The landscapes are in another. Just so you aren't confused when you don't see all of the photos on the same site.

Ward clerk, Shelley, Elise 
Shelley and Dad  Family, attempt 1  Family, attempt 2  Anne (who is of Japanese descent) and Mark

Muskeg reflections 
Clouds over muskeg  Clouds over muskeg

The last two are the same photo, processed differently (obviously). If I had wanted to, I could have taken the time to convert the RAW file for highlights and shadows, and then used Photoshop to carefully merge the multiple images for a higher dynamic range. (I don't have CS3 -- still on CS1 -- which I think will more or less do that automatically.) That way the color version could have shown shadow detail while retaining the contrasty sky.
