One light..... A couple dark sides ...... One light shimmer...... several shapes......
That! That is Dorkburger.
Most anybody else would walk bye and not notice the scene.
Work today... not something I do enough to feel at ease doing.

Down at the pier, well after sunset. ISO 1600.
Thinking of the one row of lights in distance along the pier, and the more nearby row of lights.

Also the beacon tower light and the light on the lighthouse are blinking lights, each blinks at a different rate and duration, but every so often they are both on at same time.
Then downtown, in search of a Dorkburger inspired neon light scene. ISO 3200.

Dave, I love that pier shot.
Thanks.
If I had something, like, ah, um, something like an arial work platform I could have hung a lot further out over the railing.
Ditto...
And that was your old Minolta lens...double cool!
Ha. One could definitely get some interesting shote 40- 50' up in the air... I'd have a tough time taking pics with one hand on the camera and the other holding the rail though.
Sifting through a 'camera dump' file today I came across this pic. Its a neighbors property after the June 2015 fire. It was devastating for generational cabin owners. Their 4-wheeler, its trailer and 17' Grumman canoe.

Wow. Is that melted aluminum?
Probably. Amazing how far it travelled before solidifying.
The 17’ Grumman, liquified.
The look of a lunar landscape was my initial thought as well.
I have a 15" Grumman that is like an old friend to me.

They do say every inch counts.
Wow! That aluminum had to stay hot for a while to flow that far.
A flooring company I worked for had a disgruntled employee torch one of the vans. With all the oil based stain, polyurethane and this lovely epoxy resin used to mix dust and make filler with, it made for a pretty intense carbeque. The Clark edger, drum sander and buffer were all reduced to blobs of metal.

P1060510 by Dave Redman, on FlickrMemorial to the Escanaba. A coast guard ship, WWII, stationed here, that was converted to convoy escort-protection duty in Atlantic ocean. Torpedoed and sunk in a matter of a few minutes, all crew lost except two survivors.
(Later thought maybe was boiler explosion.) Original mast placed in park near coast guard station as a memorial.
THose two survivors returned for memorial service every year for the rest of their lives.
