View in my hotel room!
This was my very first stay as an HHonors member, but was apparently upgraded. Went up and found this! November 2005

I must admit - most of the time I let the camera figure out the exposure stuff.
I must be lazy.

This is proving to be a vibrant, yet refreshingly civil, community. Kudos to all contributors!
I've been meaning to join in the fun, so here goes...
View from Emperor Suite, Dolphin, Lake Buena Vista, FL
A "clean" view of Chicago from the Peninsula
View of artist lofts, courtyard and South Beach from Sagamore, South Beach
View of 2nd Ave from UN Millennium Plaza, Manhattan (With apologies to Andreas Gursky!)
View of "Big John" from Westin Michigan Ave
(BTW , these are my first tries at geocoding images, as I want to exploit Picasa's display of Google Maps based upon GPS coords in EXIF. I'm curious how people here like the blend of photos and maps.)

Speaking of the Edgewater Hotel......
As I opened the curtains one morning expecting to see the Seattle skyline, imagine my surprise to see this instead! Very big. Very close. Lots of people peering down. It's a good thing I was dressed at the time! (2004)

Views from the lanai of our hale on the lava flow at Kona Village, on the Kona Coast of the Big Island (Feb. 1994):
Many pleasant hours were spent here watching the humpback whales as they migrated past.
