Finally!

This long overdue piece of news made me want to find a picture that matched my mood on hearing it. Trouble is, I only recently posted the photo that was most appropriate. This comes close, though: the evening sun shining through the Palm House at Kew. Don't ask me why this matches my mood of relief, guarded optimism that the worst is now past, and naive fantasy that Rumsfeld's next stop will be the dock of the International Criminal Court, but somehow it does. :-)

Details: Nikon D70, 18-70mm @ 70mm, f/5, 1/500s, ISO 250. 31 December 2004, Kew Gardens. Placemark.
