If only I could get a decent view of the horizon! I love this stuff. Here's a picture of the comet on one of my favoritist sites (where I've been snagging my desktop images from for a while now, I've got several hundred rotating):

One of my friends showed me that site a while ago.  It is awesome.

Nice stuff. 

Every now and then, I try to look out the window and remind myself that the best graphics aren't to be found on a computer screen.
