047 - April 12, 2009

Amethyst and I had some family and friends over on Easter. It would have been a great time to take pictures, but I (sadly) didn't pick up my camera the entire day.

That doesn't mean that I won't put a picture up though...

Awhile back, Amethyst and I went to visit some close friends in Omaha. We blocked off one day for a trip to the Omaha Zoo. Their zoo was very impressive (although, our Madison Zoo is free!) It was a fun day and I slept great that night from all the walking.

There was controversy when Flickr announced they were allowing video to be uploaded on the image-hosting site. Flickr said that most cameras have a video function and would allow "moving pictures" to be uploaded, but the Flickr community was fearful that their favorite photo sharing site would turn into a YouTube. (I guess to some, Flickr = Snotty Golf Club while YouTube = Trailer Park.)

While standing in the Omaha Zoo, I saw two fish tanks that I found to be the perfect example of "moving pictures". I was having trouble taking a picture due to the glass, but in hindsight I doubt the shot would have been as interesting anyways as the entire movement of the tank. So slow, relaxing, and hypnotic.

This was my first "moving picture" that I've uploaded to Flickr. Enjoy.
