More from the Kentucky Summer

Another multiphoto set, this one from the final days of Kentucky Summer at the Kentucky Horse Park. We’ll start off with Dr. Piper Klemm showing Reuben and looking appropriately happy about it.

Team Stonewall Farm is looking pretty gregarious.

Will, on the other hand, looks surprised—and should probably be wearing a helmet.

This wide, dramatic view of riders in the ring, the gate in, and folks sheltering from the rain outside is made all the more dramatic by the one young woman with no rain gear. Mysterious!

We’ll finish as we began, with Piper looking excited to be riding Reuben.

Rain Before Kentucky Summer

The day before July’s Kentucky Summer horse show was a rainy one—but there was still work to be done.

Naturally, though, we’ll start with a picture of Will taking a break from that work.

Piper hangs out with her horse, Reuben, while he has a snack.

Slick the Corgi is just excited to be here.

Piper gears up for a ride in the rain.

Look at that grin! Even in the rain, Piper’s having fun.

The deep greens make for some dramatic shots.

Emily Elek, Piper’s trainer, observes her warm-up from under a tree. The pony with her is working on his social skills.

The rain paused and the wet raincoat could come off; the smile remained.

There seems to be an understanding.

The trip back to the barn makes some great long perspective shots.

South Campus Super Resolution

The “let’s enhance” action continues with this image of Berkeley’s College of Chemistry, Strawberry Canyon, and South Campus from the top of the Campanile. It holds a special place in my heart because it shows the entire terrain I traversed going to and from work during my first year in grad school.

Saturday Morning in Normandy Village

A Saturday morning rain left streams of water through Berkeley’s Normandy village and smudges on my camera lens, but when it was done, the sunlight perfectly spotlit the entrance to my apartment beneath a blue sky.

Storm on the Adirondack Horizon at Sunset

When an autumn day at St. Lawrence University ends with a storm above the Adirondacks, those horizon raindrops scatter warm hues back to the quadcopter camera.

Rain Chases the Sunset

One of my favorite shots of 2020 is this quadcopter-captured image of a thunderstorm on the horizon chasing the setting sun, with the village of Canton’s public works in the foreground.

Boathouse Dock

I mentioned in Monday’s post that I find structures built over water to be oddly cozy, and this dock and boathouse on a rainy late spring evening conveys the same kind of feeling.

Windy Night in Normandy Village

Odd angles and old brick in Berkeley’s Normandy village took on extra layers of strangeness on windy, rainy nights. (The blown-over trashcan in the corner provides additional evidence of the weather.)

Les Invalides Storm

A late-fall storm slicked the stones of Les Invalides and the sidewalk across the, uh, moat from it.

Campus on the Eve of an Un-Rainy Commencement

2019-Jun-05 adohertyhLeave a comment

Threatening storm clouds gathered over campus on the eve of Commencement this year, forcing the event inside… Only for the weather to be sunny and mild the next day. Even access to flying robots can’t fix the chaos of weather prediction.

Notre Dame Avant le Feu

So many people have a connection to Notre Dame, and in the hours after the fire was announced, it seemed like everyone had their personal Notre Dame picture to show. The number of visitors explains the ubiquity: 30,000 people per day, 13,000,000 per year. That explains why the crowds in this picture, even on a rainy night in late November.

Stairs to Ice

2018-Dec-28 adohertyhLeave a comment

When winter is temporarily interrupted (as it is today in Northern New York) by a sudden thaw and double aliquot of rain, the ice on the Grasse River breaks up and clusters around the rocks and islands. This path in Canton, New York has been rendered impassable by a pack of rogue ice forced between the two sets of stairs by the high water.
