I took a daytrip to El Malpais National Monument and Conservation Area, south of Grants, New Mexico. Here are some of the photos.

I’m playing with a different online photo service. This one was harder to work with than flickr.com, but they give you an elaborate editor. Uploading didn’t work nearly as slickly as flickr.com. mjh

As a part of celebrating my soul, I’ve added some more photos as postcards. mjh

No, it’s not Iraq. Rather it’s a SWAT team of Do?a Ana County sheriff’s deputies and Alamogordo Department of Public Safety officers leaving a Black Hawk helicopter in a mock assault as part of a training exercise Thursday at the official opening of the National Emergency Response Training Center — affectionately known as Terror Town — in the Bootheel town of Playas.

Remember when there was a difference between the police and the military? mjh

OK, I can list a few things that make me hesitate to plunge into this online photo displaying service. Above all, I want my data (and metadata) under my direct control. And, yet, I’ve just spent 2 hours going wild with Flickr; there are many things that impress me. mjh
