      Yes I can see it.
      When imagination is out of focus is such a meditative moment, I think....

      I like that feeling and I try to keep it as long as I can.
      What do you think?

      Hey, I used this shot in my blog post here:
      laconicreply.wordpress.com/2008/09/03/i-love- finding-new-...

      In keeping with creative commons I linked to this page, and your profile for accreditation.

      Let me know if that's cool, or if you'd like it removed.

      Thanks
