Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. GAL108_151022_01.JPG: Earth Flight Environment Eric Sloane, 1976 Eric Sloane, who made an in-depth study of cloud formations and weather conditions during his career, dedicated this mural to "America's spacious skies." The horizontal portion of the mural consists of a panoramic view of a western landscape, with a single airplane streaking across the sky. Several different weather phenomena can be seen: lightning, rain, a rainbow, thunder clouds, and a variety of other cloud forms. High above the towering cumulus clouds at the far left appear the aurora borealis and an imaginary spacecraft traveling through the stratosphere, the upper part of Earth's atmosphere. Sloane decorated the border at the bottom of the mural with a variety of weather map symbols.
2. GAL108_151104_24.JPG: The Space Mural: A Cosmic View: Robert T. McCall, 1976 This space mural represents the past, present, and future of our universe. On the far left is an imaginative depiction of the "Big Bang" theory of the creation of the universe. In the middle is an Apollo astronaut on the Moon. To the right are a lunar rover and a second astronaut near a lunar landing module. Just above the lunar lander is the command and service module, which contains the third member of the crew, who awaits the explorers' return. The astronauts represent 20th-century space exploration. Above the lunar module appears planet Earth, and above that, the Sun, with its rays illuminating the vast region of space open to future exploration.

2015 photos: Equipment this year: I mostly used my Fuji XS-1 camera but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. I retired from the US Census Bureau in god-forsaken Suitland, Maryland on my 58th birthday in May. Yee ha! Trips this year: a quick trip to Florida. two Civil War Trust conferences (Raleigh, NC and Richmond, VA), and my 10th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Los Angeles). Ego Strokes: Carolyn Cerbin used a Kevin Costner photo in her USA Today article. Miss DC pictures were used a few times in the Washington Post. Number of photos taken this year: just over 550,000.
