An old (film) dog's odyssey to learn new (digital) tricks



Koi dreams

An image from the Denver Zoo:

You know, you never can tell what will strike people’s fancy. I thought this was an interesting shot, reflected clouds above Koi carp. But of all the images I’ve uploaded to Flickr, this has the biggest discrepancy between the number of views and the number of comments (currently [...]

Newfoundland has an interesting geological history. At the end of the ice ages, so much ice melted off the top of the place that the whole island rebounded (over time) by several hundred feet.
