Gone to See Florida — 2019 Road Trip.

Some 360 degree composite images of an urban garden and the Granada Terrace park in St. Petersburg. I’ve included composite 360 degree panorama, fisheye, little planet, tunnel view, and mirror ball views. The views were created using AutoPano Giga Pro software from a series of 21 images taken with a Fuji X-T3 camera and 8-15 mm fisheye lens (ISO 160, 8 mm, f/16, 1/30 sec).

Daily Electric Energy Used (29.9 kWh) from Sense and Daily Solar Electric Energy Produced (1.7 kWh) from SolSystems and Locus Energy. A very cloudy day in New Jersey. A deficit of 28.2 kWh. Most of the hydroponic gardens were off or only on for fewer hours. Also, the thermostat for the Geothermal heater and hybrid heat pump hot water heater were set for vacation mode.

The sky lit up with colorful clouds just after sunset, so I ran outside with the first camera I found.

Gone to See Florida — 2019 Road Trip.

Boxer Day — Dawn and Sunrise at Fort De Soto Park. Every year while visiting Florida I like to go to Fort De Soto Park to view the Sunshine Skyway Bridge at dawn and sunrise. My brother and I got there early, just as the and sky and clouds were starting to show some colors. I set up two cameras on tripods, and one handheld. When we arrived the Skyway bridge piers were still lit up with red overnight lights for the holidays.

Backyard Autumn Nature in New Jersey.

Heavy rain is predicted for tomorrow so I needed to put down some lime, rototill, and seed some of the wildflower sections with crimson clover as a winter cover crop. Some of the work was recorded as time-lapse video with a Garmin VIRB-360 camera. During the work I found another Praying Mantis ootheca or egg sack that I moved to a protected location.

Daily Electric Energy Used (62.8 kWh) from Sense and Daily Solar Electric Energy Produced (28.7 kWh) from SolSystems and Locus Energy. More clouds than yesterday. At this time of the year the sun is lower, and the Sycamore tree leaves shadow the solar panels part of the day. Overall a net deficit of 34.1 kWh. Use higher than yesterday because of laundry (4.2 kWh)
