    How does the Stellar Phono sound to you since you have had it for several weeks. Better (or maybe different) than all of the other ones you have? I have read several good reviews.

    Love that piano in the middle.

    What happens to that guy when a sudden burst of wind comes? Is that when the life insurance kicks in?

    Very cool shot. I wish we had darker sky here.

    Did you do a slight time exposure for that!

    I suppose it depends upon one's definition of slight. ;)

    It was real pretty last night -- and my new DSLR does pretty good with low light (thanks, son o' mine, for the gift!)

    A night sky like this has to be one of the top five reasons to live out of the city. <3

    In 2020, an even better reason is "sheltering in place" is a lot less claustrophobic. :)
