The view from the ground:

Since I have just started loading pictures to flickr, I am going to edit in links to places I have ground-level views of, as well as the window-seat views.

We interrupt these images with an announcement...

New camera coming!! Nikon Coolpix p90: 12.1 megapixels; 24x optical zoom; wide-angle; exceptional capacity for sleeker low-light images...
