The white box on the wall behind the CB's instruments is the inverter that converts the energy generated by solar panels into AC power for use in the house.
Hope that counts.

Bonneville Dam area, Columbia River
Bonneveill Dam...produces 1,227 megawatts, which the internet says enough to power 900,000 homes
There are 14 dams on the Columbia, 11 in the U.S. and 3 in Canada, 1,243 miles / 2000 kilometers long. It's a beautiful river.

Good day for photography!

Lots of wind farms just an hour plus east, on the dry side of Oregon and Washington. There are some areas that it's mile after mile of turbines, as far as the eye can see...and the eye can see pretty far at times. I saw one turbine once that had been burned, and it was blackened at where the blades come together. The grasslands around the turbine had been burned too. It made me wonder if the fire was caused by the turbine. Could have been a coincidence.

Ooh, I'll get a pic with my neighbor's new invention... it's a huge skeleton in the cul-de-sac that is AI-powered. You can have a conversation with it. A coupla nights ago, it was giving me barbecue advice.
Antipodally, it's Rise not Fall, so I can't lodge a valid entry this month. But, this time of the year in Brisbane is known for the flowering of the gorgeous jacaranda trees — a weed here imported, I think, from South America.

Signs of seasonal change should qualify for those not in the northern hemisphere

In the spirit of the change of season to fall, I think this is a good example.
Trader Joe's. Now that it's fall, every other item is Pumpkin Spice something or other.

We have seasonal color changes here in Southern California. In fall, it's called Brown.

I took a look around the neighborhood for some early Halloween spirit, and found quite a bit.

This one is particularly cool. My neighbor a few doors down created an AI-powered eight-foot skeleton. He's perfecting the programming, and hopes to market it for Halloween next year. If you walk up to it and say the word that wakes it up, you can have a conversation with it - his mouth moves, eyes blink and everything. It's actually quite fascinating. A few days ago, I asked it for advice about a dry rub for barbecuing tri-tip. I think he can give me some good investment advice. The t-shirt has instructions about what to say to wake him up.

I like the idea of taking investment advice from a skeleton.

Right now, it's pretty much a Google Search in the form of a skeleton with a creepy voice.
So when I asked it about barbecuing, it was still talking after I jotted notes down about the dry rub and I walked away.
