We are back to Salem Lake sunrise pictures. I have a few of them left and going to share in the next couple month. This is the place where they put their boats in the water. A few of them were put there that morning before I took this photo and another car was pulling in as I was taking the photo, so I had to get out and clear the driveway. It was super foggy there, with lake still being warm from the summer and air chilling, with sun rising it was one big foggy paradise.
Last night, on the way to our friends house we saw a lot of lights on one of the side streets in our neighborhood and decided to check it out. Wow, these folks really put it out there! Their entire front yard was full with lights and lighted figures of animals, and other holiday creatures.
We just had first snow in Winston and I want to follow up my last post with another shot from that day. It was snowing and very grey outside, cold and wet. Not the most exciting weather. I think most people stayed in-door and kept this long alley empty, just what the photo doctor is ordered.
Today we had our first snow, and snow it was! It was quite a surprise for me actually. I thought that it will rain some, but then around noon it started snowing, and it snowed for about 4-5 hours straight. Ground is too warm for it to stick, but it was very happy on the grass and trees. We took a walk and I did a few shots. I had to use my plastic camera tube to protect camera from the falling snow, I’m glad I had one because it was really wet.
This is on the grounds of Salem College in Old Salem. It was really pretty and peaceful there. I liked how these green dots were so visible down the line next to this fence. On the left side of the fence is an old Moravian cemetery.
Curtsey to a couple of very idiotic and overly aggressive guys we had an interesting show this night. We were walking on our way to eat some food down town Winston. At the T style small intersection, white Honda was turning right, at the same time some dude was crossing the intersection. I think he was wrong about crossing it, but he continued so, the Honda slowed down but continued to turn. I guess they both felt like they own the road and didn’t yield to the other. We were about 50 feet away from it and heard some one hitting the car with their hands and screaming at the car. Driver, maybe in his 30th with female in passenger seat jumped out from the car and started screaming and the guy. Well, they were both screaming at each other, something like – driver: “You MF, you jumped under my car, what is F wrong with you, you are a moron”, other one: “ You MF, watch where you driving, MF you are on my foot, you are F moron yourself” etc. Back and forth. They both pulled their cell phones and called police. All while the car was on this guy foot. Quite a show. The driver was so outraged that this guy didn’t yield the way, he didn’t pull his car off his foot for at least 3-4 minutes.
There he is standing and screaming at the driver. Both of them were so aggressive and blaming the other about situation that they didn’t even care about his foot under the car. I don’t think the guy with his foot under the car had much pain, he didn’t act like it, he was more outraged about the fact that the car was seating on his foot, not that he was suffering or something.
We moved on after they took the car off his foot and police was on their way. The shooting match continued all the way till we turned down the block. Wow.
