I walked out of the office yesterday after rather a hectic time at work and saw this. Things like this make it impossible to remain stressed for any length of time.

This is another semi-academic exercise in learning Adobe Lightroom. For reference, I first posted this photo here.

Monday, January 22nd, 2007
In December 2006, an archaeological expedition in the south of the island of Malakula made some very interesting discoveries, including French fortifications built in the late 1800s and a wealth of indigenous ceramics
