Photo of the Day, Halloween 2018 edition

Here are three photos taken around the Sapperton neighborhood. People really seem to love Halloween around here.

A ghoul holding, yes, a lacrosse stick.

A giant spider:

And a giant rat, curiously not in the same yard as the giant spider:

As usual, I’ll be celebrating Halloween while tucked safely in at home, with a cup of tea, away from the sturm und drang of fireworks and kids eager to rot the teeth out of their heads with bags of sweet loot.

But Happy Halloween to those who actually, you know, go out and stuff.

Testing the iPhone at night and unsurprisingly, with little light, it does not take outstanding photos.

This one had a harsh floodlight from a nearby warehouse creating harsh shadows and it turned out decently, plus it fits with Halloween approaching. Boo.

A dandelion by a light standard in Lower Hume Park.

I don’t know what compelled me to take this–maybe the contrast of the yellow against the black of the light standard. I also kind of like the low perspective. I could have cropped the photo to leave out the background, but in this case there’s enough there to provide some interesting context–sunny day, nearby road, trees, a gravel path.
