Through all those thoughtful preparations there has been something else going on. I made a photograph last Saturday afternoon of light casting a shadow across the fireplace surround here in our living room. It was quite a phenomenon to watch. Truly awe-inspiring.
It ended up on Explore. I don't know how it happened. Explore is rather mysterious. Something about an algorithm having to do with "interestingness." Yeah, I know ...
At any rate, in a 24-hour period that one photograph received over 15,000 views. Imagine that!
