If you have Flash installed on your computer, and supposedly almost 100% of us do, then you have noticed that the banner at the top of my website rotates through a series of pictures. Some of them are repeats because I love to start a project. Finishing it is sometimes another matter. Well, I’m a little closer now with the above addition to the banner, showcasing some our state’s energy-related assets.

The dragline is from the Falkirk Mine, whose tour video I edited. In the middle is a wind farm, taken at sunrise north of Bismarck on a photo shoot for the Department of Energy and Reuters. And finally we have transmission lines, which are great for our power grid but sometimes a nuisance for a landscape photographer. Thankfully they can be photoshopped out when unwanted, and make a pretty neat subject when tried.

I’ve got some other ideas for thematic banners, and plenty of photos with which to go to work. Now all I need is more time, which grows more elusive each day…
