I was going around the grid, as usual, and taking pictures, again as usual. But it wasnt an ordinary day. Oh no it wasnt. When i looked at one of my pictures i noticed Martin Luther Kings face in it. to be exact, it was in the sun. At first i was thinking to myself... ok calm down... I probably need some sleep. Since it is 1:20 PM here in Croatia, and i stayed up all night playing. But then i realised after some research in the United States its a holiday today also known as Martin Luther King's day. Or somthing. So i thaught it was pretty funny in a way. I dunno... Enjoy the picture i captured of it though, and excuse the crappy quality, im still learning Photoshop and Paintshop.

NP, it's nice to do something vaguely useful occasionally.

The Lindens do this? I thought it was a natural occurance, like the shamrock sun on St. Paddy's day...

Next you'll be trying to convince me there's no Easter Bunny

Rez a fullmask prim, alt+click on it, and zoom, then point towards the sun!

Chinese New Year is fast approaching and the year of the Dog is coming in, I wonder what are the chances that the Lindens will be doing something to the moon on that night? ^_^ Or is this sort of thing limited to american holidays?
