Buckingham Palace (Last Day)

Kind of sleepy self-protrait on the last day!
Today's photography focus was to capture a contrast shot. This being the last day of this long, strange journey, the contrast theme is all around me. This (class based) final blog was/is really difficult to write. Looking back, and reading back through all of my entries, I am wrapping up with some good news. They are indeed trying to stop the Gulf Coast Oil spill by pumping more cement into the pipe casing. We first heard of this phenomenon called the "top kill" method of sealing the Busted Pipe (BP). Fingers crossed that it will work...I picked this blog back up today (Friday) since I spent all day Thursday traveling and facing the brutal headwinds toward North America. I have pink eye in my left eye, so only my right is clear. There's a great contrast shot, but I am too pooped to snap that photo. At 1:00 AM today, the Associated Press announced that BP has finished pumping cement into the damaged well to  seal off the leak that started on April 22, two days after the rig caught fire, on Earth Day. I don't know, dear reader, if this is a new facet of coincidence, or if there is a literary term to describe what/how I feel, but I don't think I could have had a better homecoming.
