Photo of the Day

Here are some random photos.  Some of them are not intended to be "beautiful shots", per se, but they show what I'm up to.  Because lugging around a big SLR camera and accessories is risky (theft), most of these shots are taken with my little pocket-digicam.  (I enjoy experimenting with the camera's manual settings to see what I can get.)
