So I'm having fun with Photoshop again. The above picture was actually a shot of one of the churches at Kings Landing. Much the same as the picture of Jungno atop the Aug. 3 post, it started as a daylight shot. I cropped them both to add a purple/blue fade to the sky, used the lens filter for the bluish tinge and added the odd stars and lens flares. The moon is fake too.
I'm also having more fun now that I've broken down and started using the automatic function for adding pictures with Blogger. It saves me resizing, ftp'ing, typing in the html myself... I should have been using it from the get go.
In other news, especially of interest to the nocturnal crowd that this site was originally to address, Premier Bernard Lord is leading the charge at this week's premiers' conference in Banff to follow suit with the US and look at changing Daylight Savings Time. Now call me crazy, but of all the premiers who would want to change it, why him? Think of it: if NB kept to schedule, then for a few months each year, we would be in the same time zone (Eastern) as our major markets in New England. Atlantic time could actually disappear for a couple of months each year and we'd pick up a couple of extra workable hours. On the flip side, it'd be good for provinces like Quebec too, since they export power and, by being an hour behind the norm, this timeshift might reduce some of the strain on their power grid during the lead up to winter months. Sure the math is harder, but I suspect there could be some economic benefits to a change in standard North American times.
