See the photo mentioned in BA's update. Anyone know where Mr. Friedman took the images at? And, yah, wow, amazing detail, awesome transit images.

[oops!] Can't imagine life without those awe-inspiring astro/landscape time-lapse videos, much of which is found in Vimeo. Oh, and spectacular shots of the Sun from Mr. Friedman yet again! *yawns* What's new? ;) I read someone on UT say the same thing about Vimeo being blocked in India, but I can access it normally, without resorting to proxy servers.

"This website/URL has been blocked until further notice either pursuant to Court orders or on the directions issued by the Department of Telecommunications" I am accessing the site from India. Not sure which country is responsible for this filter or for that matter which government found transit of Venus objectionable :-) JAK Phil,
