Pics O' The Week #11

...oh, back so soon? You're a fast reader!

At any rate, while Brian has been down that way before (see Project 365, Day 15), it was a first for me. I thought you might be interested to see the difference between what he saw there and how it looks to me, as I am occasionally amazed at the difference between seeing a picture of something and seeing that same thing in person.

It just goes to show you, two people with cameras in the same place at the same time do not (always) the same pictures make!
