Night time photography


Well, I've been in Alaska for a few months now, and I have had a couple opportunities to see the Aurora's, and each storm I've seen has been quite unique. The photos I've taken so far defiantly aren't amazing and I've got no chance of really capturing the awe of the lights, but these are my photos, and their pretty cool.

I still need to invest in a good tripod, and a better lens for taking photos of the Aurora, but for right now I'm still getting some pretty cool photos.

Trip fuel summary

I finally got around to entering in all the fuel mileage stuff that I
collected on my journey from Nebraska to Alaska. Here are the #'s:
Total Miles Traveled: 7063 miles (possibly only 6917.5 depending on
which calculation you use)
Total Fuel Consumed: 267.261 gallons (liters converted to gallons at
3.78541 liters per gallon)
Total Fuel Cost: $944.52 (adjusted to USD)
Average MPG: 26.33 MPG

Not bad for a 2004 Rav4.
