Hi Everyone,
-----
Below is a link to Gen. Pettygree's new short story entitled Brace Up.
Seems apropos/fitting these days.
Hopefully you enjoy Chapter 1 Night Attack here: link
-----
Includes my customary captioned photos; mostly with dialogue on this occasion. Most photos are night scenes.
-----
A diversion surely for you?
I hope you are all doing well in your bunkers and essential jobs.

Respectfully,

Who needs a Hollywood budget? Loved the way you added Tracer to one photograph at the end.
Officers and gentlemen at that time certainly bristled. |

Absolutely fantastic. Thanks for creating and posting it. Your explosions are great. I like the combination of yellow and orange (or red). Is that with one LED candle? Can you lead me to the source? Thanks,

In the left hand hut:
I used the product: FIRE! DC3F.
3 super bright LEDs with resistors and wires connected.
My power supply is a 9 volt Duracell battery.
-------
In the right hand hut I used salmon colored paper through which a VERY bright light penetrated.
--------
To enhance the effect I dabbed my fingers in various water base paints* we all use and smudged them into pieces of cotton. The latter enhance color and give the impression of smoke.

*black, yellow, red, orange.
