Somehow a young Iranian woman found my NorthernVisions Facebook page,

liked and commented on my photos and invited me to post some at YouPic, which I had never heard of before. I joined and posted three quick shots and now have "fans" around the world. How cool is that?

I was just so shocked that she found me. As much as we bitch about it, Facebook is kind of amazing sometimes.

It gives me something to do, go back into my archives and pull out the best of the best to post. Easy since I went through my big organizing ordeal a couple of years ago.
