I've been using that picture as my office desktop. Awesome photo!

I got that picture here:

If you want to ride unadulterated Philly PCCs now, you have to go to San Francisco.

Mmhm..I have a trip plan one day to go there and ride them all...

With a little bit of scripting magic, I have GoogleEarth updating my Linux wallpaper live with a "fake satellite" picture of the globe.

The shadows update in real time according to the time of day and the clouds move. I have the picture updating every quarter hour.

This photo was recently taken on a weekend camping trip & hike in Seneca Rocks, WV. I just feel it really came out quite amazing.

I have a nice plain black background. That way I can actually see everything on the desktop and it is less work for the monitor.
