I arrived here on Monday and will leave Friday.  I was sent to learn about the NSNA 4050 Switch (Nortel Secure Network Access Switch).  While the topic is very interesting to me, I don’t think I could keep people’s attention if I got all work focused.

So instead, I’ll talk about the clouds.  I brought my digital camera and decided to play with the circular polarizer and take photos of clouds.  The Dallas area suffers from (I say suffers because I don’t like) high humidity.  Combine high temperature and high humidity, and I’m absolutely miserable.

But, the humidity does make a nice environment to support a plethoria of clouds, like this:

Now, if you don’t know anything about polarization then you could always check out Wikipedia.  The summary is, it brightens the blues by blocking specular reflections.

Now, wasn’t that much more enjoyable?

I thought so.
