Albedo observations

I had a couple of real-life albedo moments on Saturday while painting a house in Dillon. Observation 1: Wet, white primer has a high albedo. The hot sun reflected right back onto us.
Observation 2: Black socks (no shoes) have a low albedo. My feet got really hot in the sun until I took off my socks.
