The Fungus Among Us

Sometimes when I walk around I play this little game I made up called "How many satellite dishes can you fit into one picture?"

What do you think my best score is?

Three?

Four?

Six?

No.

I broke my record last week. It's nine.

Had I had a wide angle lens it would have been ten!

"The Ice King" is the name of the boat in the antique (middle) photo. Probably taken in the late 1800's when ice harvesting was still a major industry around here.
