Photo of the Day 10/10/10 - The Answer to Everything

Today has been 10.10.10, which in binary language (computer speak, 101010) is 42, a number steeped in history and magic and fascinating numerological oddities. Sometimes the answer to everything, though, is simply seeing the wide sky.

The sunsets along the coast of Maine are pretty fantastic, and the slowly drifting and dodging gulls always seem so leisurely and relaxed as they await nightfall. It's a good place to be.

Photo of the Day 07/30/10 - Unfurled Beneath a Clear Blue Sky

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air. . . .

Up, up the long, delirious burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or ever eagle flew —
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

— High Flight
