Climbed the Witches Hat Tower

Yesterday was the day the tower was open (this year, it’s open two more days, June 12-13), and I managed to remember to go over, and got to see the inside and see the view from the top. It was rather hazy, which made photographs from there less interesting than they might be.  But it was still fun, and it makes an easy way to scout for places on the ground with a good view of the tower.

The line got rather longer, and by the time I left was around the tower, down two flights of stairs, and across a lawn.  (I posted a cell-phone picture on Facebook yesterday, so this will be largely redundant to my friends there.)

This was the line when I got there

More photo forensics

Interesting; a new online service that hosts your photo and gives it a “trust” rated based on some basic automated tests.  Unfortunately (but understandably) it only works on camera-original jpegs — which I don’t produce.
