This image was not photoshopped. It is a 90 second image taken with a 35mm camera in a low light room. After 45 seconds my surrogate niece, Sita, merely shifted her position from one arm to the other. (copyright David Butler)

First days after solar panels turned on: Day 1: turn on at sunset. 2nd day, clouds. 3rd Rain. 4th day a mid-day power outage and without a battery, power is not collected by us or the grid. Frustrating, but still glad to have it up and running.
