strange land

In summer, the song sings itself.
William Carlos Williams

The bluest of blue creek running from the hydro-plant at Krafla Powerstation, N-Iceland.
The clouds mix with the steam from the geothermal drilling holes at the left horizon, making for a strange skyline.

Have a great weekend everyone!

The EXIF info is getting better here on FLickr, telling you basically all about HOW the camera was set and then what was done in Camera RAW.
I stumbled across this:
Measurement Observer: CIE 1931
WHO/WHAT is the Measurements observer???? What does it do? AND WHAT is that number....?
One's gotta love the EXIF.........the secred code or what?
