Dunes of Mars
via nasa.gov
From the NASA website:
Dunes of sand-sized materials have been trapped on the floors of many Martian craters. This is one example, from a crater in Noachis Terra, west of the giant Hellas impact basin. The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter captured this view on Dec. 28, 2009.
The dunes here are linear, thought to be due to shifting wind directions. In places, each dune is remarkably similar to adjacent dunes, including a reddish (or dust colored) band on northeast-facing slopes. Large angular boulders litter the floor between dunes.

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!

Peek-a-moon
Amazing photograph of a moon rising from behind another moon -- in this case, Saturn's moon Rhea rising behind the moon Titan.
Incidentally, there will be a "blue moon" on New Year's Eve. There will not be another New Year's Eve blue moon until 2028.

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.
More information about Grand Central here.
