Four houses up the street.

 

High Sreet, West Chester, PA.

Nice December day for my Suzuki and me to spend some quality time together. Took Goshen/Strasburg Road home. Great mc road! Thought I would take a photo of the bike while it was illuminated by the outdoor seasonal lighting. It turned out OK, I guess.

It’s still fall, but don’t tell these trees.

Fisher Mansion (1885 Queen Anne-style Victorian) and Evangelical Congregational Church.

Tree lighting at Grafton common ( I was kind of  hoping for a ground hog to make an appearence with a prediction of an early spring, but then this guy in a red suit showed up and I knew that wasn’t going to happen).

Prelude.

 

Fully fledged sunset.

Complex high altitude cloud patterns.

 

Cirrus Uncinus.

A telephoto lens and some enlargement clearly shows that the “star” (Epsilon Lyrae) above and a little to the right of Vega (the brightest star in the photo) is actually a double star. This is not a line of sight pheonomina, they actually orbit one another. Amazingly, at higher power, each of these stars turns out to be a double. These doubles are also gravitationaly connected. It’s a double double! But it  gets even better than that, one of those four stars is again a double!!
