Hardly any captions for now, and a few more images need to be rotated, but here they are anyway.
If you would like a copy of the original unaltered 1600x1200 pixel image (typically 600 kB or so), drop me a line, hew/at/northernelectric/polkadot/ca (of course, the /polkadot/ is just a "."

These are all in chronological order, since it was easiest to manage the image files and generate the html that way.

Clicking on any of these thumbnail images will open a new window with a larger version of the image, typically 1000x750 pixels.
