Today started off cold and rainy, forcing me to actually get some development done on my plugins, but it cleared up in the afternoon. I'd been out on a photographic fall-color central-Japan adventure every day so far this week (Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu), and wanted to make it a full week-long marathon, so I headed out for a few hours in the afternoon.

These are two of the 426 photos I took today. The one above speaks for itself, but what's going on in the photo below?

Anyone who has taken Internet 101 or has the equivalent in real-life experience [...]

I put up my previous "What am I?" quiz ("Just-Arrived-After-a-Long-Flight "What am I?" Quiz) after I arrived for a summer at my folks' place a month ago, but now that I'm ready to spend the next couple of days in a tin can for our return to Kyoto, it seems reasonable to put up another quiz.

Any guesses left in the comments will remain hidden from public view until jet lag starts to relinquish its hold on me this weekend.

Two "What am I?" quizzes in a row, sorry, but I just arrived at my folks' place in Ohio after a series of very looooong flights from Japan, so jetlag-wise I'm not quire ready to do much writing.

Another "What am I?" quiz. I'll be traveling for a few days, so your guesses will remain hidden from public view until I reveal the answer next week...

This one almost gives me vertigo.

It's straight out of Lightroom... no custom processing. I can't tell whether this'll be the easiest "What am I?" Quiz I've ever posted, or the most difficult.

As always, I'll keep all responses private until I reveal the answer.
