Starry Night

It's been stormy here and last night, the clouds moved out and I took a few night shots with my iPhone 16 Pro Max. iPhones are fast becoming just as good as an expensive camera. This photo was taken at 7:56pm, already night. The light on the right is a house that sits on the other side of the Willapa River - you can just see it below the lights. Clouds came back in and we had a lot of rain and wind. It's still pretty gloomy and muddy out there. No house yet. I'm beginning to wonder if it will ever arrive.

Lovely photo capture. For sure Autumn is coming in now. I think you get more wild weather than me due to you living closer to the coast.

We do get more wild weather since this is the wetlands area. Usually high winds, rain, marine layer....Our trees are changing colors fast now. The sun peeked out today and it was cold but glorious to go out in.

@noni1959 Yes for sweet weather today. I was out for a while talking with my gardening buddy while she straightened up an iris bed.

@sallypup It is supposed to stay nice until Thursday. I hope so. I want to drive to town and after getting my mail, go for a walk along the Willapa.

Thank you. I want to take some of my best shots and make into cards and maybe even a coffee table book.

What a beautiful expanse of nighttime sky. At least the clouds gave you some time to enjoy the stars.

@noni1959 .......So nice to have the expanse of clearing to see. We have too many trees and live right in the city so we can't see much.

I love the sky at night here. You can see so many stars without the city lights.

It's been crazy! My son talked to them today and they will arrive Wednesday. He said they had to get all the heavy equipment operators to arrive the same time and the drivers and install team. They told him for us not to plan on going anywhere or we won't get back in for a bit.

That's a great photo! Whenever I try to take night-time shots they never come out well.

I noticed the newer phones are much better to capture good shots. Sometimes, I have to take several to get the right angle and lighting.
