Total Lunar Eclipse December 21, 2010
The Chicago area missed out on the Lunar Eclipse since we were busy getting a few inches of snow. I've enjoyed looking at the photos from observers who were able to see -- and photograph -- the eclipse. Here is one I found on Flickr.
Where do you turn for news?
Like a lot of Americans, I was tuned to the cable news networks last Tuesday night as the election results came in. However, I was also monitoring my iPhone Twitter app to see the latest news for my home state. That got me wondering: Where does everyone go for news these days?
Another good source of news is the Flickr photo-sharing service. Back in 2007, terrorists set off bombs in the London subways. Within an hour, amateur photojournalists uploaded photos to Flickr and shared them worldwide. I still go to Flickr for many news events although it is slower to update, obviously, than Twitter. Shuttle launches are especially fun to follow on Flickr.
Sunflower photo
I like to take sunflower photos, but mine are mainly of flowers we grow in the backyard. Here's a real nice picture I found on Flickr. It looks like it might be HDR, but none of the tags associated with the photo indicate that it is HDR.
The Grand Tetons
Another Flickr fave from stuckincustoms.
Sedona in the Snow
Here's another Flickr favorite -- this time from Flickr user Laura Travels.
Although I lived in Arizona for a couple of years, I never did make it up to Sedona in the wintertime. Wish I had!
Grand Central on a Rainy Night During the Holidays
Another HDR photo from Flickr user: stuckincustoms.
I was a regional marketing manager for a large national bank in the late '90s and was responsible for the Chicago, New York and Washington, D.C. markets. Our office was right across the street from Grand Central on 42nd Street. Although I used Penn Station for my local travel, I would walk over to the main concourse and just watch all of the activity. I can just imagine what it was like in its heyday.

Morning in the High Nevada Desert
Another favorite from stuckincustoms.
