Our low temperature last night was just below 0°C. A couple of days ago the overnight low was 4°C.

In my Carolina Coastal travelogue, I commented on the Coffin Point Plantation, on St. Helena Island near Beaufort, SC - there I showed a beautiful photograph by David Shipper of the live oak lined lane to the house - he captured the gorgeous trees w/ their Spanish moss - well, I purchased the matted photo (18" x 24") w/ a metallic paper that shimmers and almost has a 3-D effect; made a frame w/ quarter-sawn white oak which has a lot of medullary rays (flecks) - the glass is museum grade and virtually transparent - results below (of course, looks much better 'in person' - sorry).

Hi Thomas - thanks - the pic does not do its appearance justification - really beautiful w/ the museum glass and the QS white oak - but if interested in the locale, take a look HERE at my Carolina Shore travelogue where the plantation is described - the photo was taken by David Shipper who works out of Beaufort, SC - check the link - he does just gorgeous landscape & wildlife photography of the Carolina & Georgia coasts - Dave

Both pictures are good with very good colour in the first and a good wide vista in the second. Sometimes you can get spectacular sunset photos when the sun gets low enough to light up the underside of the clouds.

Thank you.
You're right. Obviously, I didn't wait long enough. My patience was sorely tried today, there wasn't much of it left when the sun set.

Samuel F.B. Morse (1791–1872) was an American painter and inventor. After having established his reputation as a portrait painter, in his middle age Morse contributed to the invention of the telegraph. He was a co-developer of the Morse Code and helped to develop the commercial use of telegraphy.

But Morse started as a painter and spent time in Paris in the 1830s - over a 2-year period he painted his masterpiece, the Gallery of the Louvre, which is now on exhibit at our local Reynolda House - this is a large painting (6x9 ft) that portrays 'miniatures' of dozens of famous Renaissance & Baroque paintings - nice to see in person - Dave

Reynolda House Museum of American Art will welcome an American masterwork for this exhibition, Samuel F.B. Morse’s Gallery of the Louvre (1831–33). Created when the artist was living and working in Paris, the painting represents the famed Salon Carré in the Musée du Louvre. Morse spent months walking the halls of the museum, selecting old master paintings for his composition, then painstakingly copying the paintings and “installed” them in the virtual gallery. The resulting monumental canvas—six feet by nine feet—was both an example of Morse’s erudition and skill and a tool of instruction for American viewers who did not have access to Renaissance and Baroque paintings.
