Schools have opened again, office-goers are using the public transport systems again, television channels have started covering other news again... but fear and anger still lingers. <BR/><BR/>Hey, I look forward to seeing your comments here. <BR/>Sometimes when I see from the Feedjit widget that people from such interesting places have been visiting my blog, I feel like calling out "hey, talk to me! Dont go away without letting me know you".

All countries that have been (or God forbid, will be) hit by terrorism need to see a face smiling from heaven from time to time. <BR/>You captured even Jupiter so well! I had trouble getting that third planet with my point-and-shoot Canon and no tripod. But it was fun standing alone in the woods, watching the show in the sky.
