Panoramania
A Boing Boing link brought me to this panorama of the Star Wars fans at the wrong theatre, and I’m guessing the telephone in the picture is the one I called. There are so many other fascinating panoramas that mean something to me.
- The 37th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s assasination at the National Civil Rights Museum here in Memphis
- The Eyes Wide Open Memorial, commemorating those soldiers killed in Iraq
- This is the huge anti-war protest in London that happened last year. The war began when I was in London in 2003, and I went to the first march. It was huge and looked a lot like this one a year later.
- The Tribute in light to honor the victims of the 9/11 attacks. I saw this quite by accident. I was in NYC in April of 2002. Things in my marriage has just turned suddenly wrong, and I took off to see some close friends. I had been out and about by myself for the day, it was now night, and I was planning to meet some friends for drinks. I got off the subway, walked up to street level, and called my parents because I hadn’t spoken to them in a while. I noticed several people crowded around several pictures on a fence. Talking to my parents, I suddently realized that I was at the church next to ground zero. I looked up, and the tribute was still there. It was a cloudy night, but I could make out the lights. I found out later that it was one of the last nights the tribute was in place.

Heh. That Trafalgar photo was taken while we were in Wales – a few days later, and you’d have seen me, Melissa and the sprogs in the crowd.
