Sights

I thought about trying to load low-res versions of some of these into this post but couldn't narrow down my favorites. So check out some of the finalists for the 15th Annual Smithsonian Photo Contest. Even though I'm not posting them here, I'm partial to "Rain," "Joy," "Ray of Zeus" and "Sardines in the Sun."

I'm also kind of impressed with what the eclipse watchers in the last photo on the page, "Summit Eclipse," had to do to reach their viewing point: Two days of backpacking, one day with 12 hours of climbing and crossing two glaciers. That's dedication.
