Backyard Vandalism in New Jersey: The Morning After.

A tree in my backyard decorated with toilet paper the previous night, the brand of toilet paper used, and an empty egg container. The police took a report, but never got back to me other than saying it was probably high school kids with nothing better to do the day after Thanksgiving. I guess I was lucky since I had cameras out in the backyard taking night sky images that were not tripped over or stolen.

Glad I went when I did. Waves Crashing Into the Seawall Along the Malecón. Castillo de San Salvador de la Punta and the Havana Harbor Lighthouse in the Distance. Eventually, waves will wash down anything…

Backyard Vandalism in New Jersey.

I guess I didn’t give out enough candy at Halloween that year. The amazing thing is that they didn’t trip over or steal the tripod and camera that I had out in the backyard that night doing night sky/star trails.
