More sprinkler madness

By 6000 | 6000 | December 20, 2009

Looks like a sprinkler-related sort-of-quota photo. Kinda cool when the droplets caught the evening [...]

Nothing to see here

By 6000 | 6000 | November 26, 2009

Every day…

By 6000 | 6000 | November 5, 2009

Every day, I am blown away by the beauty of the mountain. (When it’s visible and not hidden behind shedloads of dark grey cloud, obviously.) This was from my drive home tonight. Full size with option of spankingly large desktop background size here. Pedants (you know who you are): This doesn’t count as a quota [...]
