Too hot for golf

Maybe not for some people, but it was too hot for me. After I shot this at the Griffin City Park Golf Course today, I tried to hit a bucket of balls at the driving range, but couldn't finish because of the heat. And it was only 8:30 a.m.

Elementary school fire

Here's a few frames from a fire today at Orrs Elementary in Griffin. An air-conditioning unit caught fire around noon, forcing the entire school to evacuate. No one was hurt, but the school was flooded with water from sprinklers. Firefighters and maintenance workers were busy this afternoon trying to dry the water with fans and were sweeping it outside. Only two photos are running in the paper, but I wanted to share several others that won't otherwise see the light of day. The first photo might be hard to make out, since it's so small and the air is filled with smoke, but it is of the room that caught fire. I wanted to use a flash for that one, but the light would've bounced off the reflective tape on the firefighter suits. The second photo Griffin Fire Rescue Capt. Mark Gilreath, as he removes water from a boys restroom; the third is of damaged books; and the last photo is of a school worker (who didn't giver her name) as she sweeps water out the door.

Horse show

This frame is from the Spalding County 4-H Fun Show (horse show) today at the Kiwanis Fairgrounds. Horses always make for nice images. I know silhouettes are cliche, but sometimes I just can't help myself.
