The Marks of Man

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (for those morons who don't think a Wiki has value).

Here is the Google earth screen shot, you can see the latitude and Longitude if you click on the image for the bigger version.

I mean I have students who really need my attention at the end of the semester, so why do I have to do data entry for a timetable not happening till 2010? Any competent PC or mac user could do this. Hey I am allowed to moan now and then.

First Light over Lake Elizabeth, Mackenzie Basin It was so cold, the dogs almost took the keys off me to get back into the truck.

Lake Tepako, from Mt John, very early and cold.
