Hiya,
For all of you photography buffs, this is a photo from the 2009 inauguration of Barak Obama.
You will see the face of each individual in the crowd - IN FOCUS as you zoom in !!! You can scan, double click and zoom into any section of the crowd... wait a few seconds... and the focus adjusts.
The picture was taken with a Robotic camera at 1,474 megapixels. (295 times the standard 5 megapixel camera)
Makes you wonder who's watching us right now !

It is actually a mosaic of loads of pictures stitched together.......
Look at the bottom of the white tower thing - you will see a pair of legs without a body!
It is sad to measure your life in terms of hours flown...... but even sadder not to.........

Good spot Mr wolfe,
It's a terrible thing when you finally find a seat and then your legs go walk about

There's also a ghostly hand trying to steal a security man's sunglasses
Follow the balustrade to Obama's right - the man in question is standing to the left of the light.

Actually Kitt, my son had shown me the pic a couple of weeks ago, and had pointed out the bodyless legs.......
I would not want anyone thinking I sit staring at the computer all day whilst at work!

Ok, I have no excuses -except to say its a quite workday.
Found another pair of legs going walkabout.
Follow the central isle (behind the rostrum cameras) towards the barriers in the backgound.
No I must find some work to do!

Everyone who lives dies, yet not everyone who dies, has lived. We take these risks not to escape life, but to prevent life from escaping us ...

Her right hand under her privacy blanket might have something to do with it!
Notice theres a big lack of black folk's there. You would think it would look more like this.
