Took an Art History trip to visit The Gates (Wikipedia Link), and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Of course I snapped some Camera Phone pictures. Note I was walking the entire time, so these were all made while walking on ice.
When visiting the gates, if you ask one of the “Pole [...]

Well 25 million downloads later. That’s one hell of an impressive number. And it’s a growing number.
Blake just posted information on a silver collectors coin (limited edition) for those who made it possible (well the top few, there’s so many now).
