<p>The setting sun over frozen Marion Reservoir.  January 2009.</p>

<p>This is the 500th and final posting to luminosity.  It's been a great run and I've really enjoyed sharing some of my  best photos via this site. </p>

<p>Luminosity will remain open for viewing, but I won't be posting any new photos  here. Check <a href="http://www.allthepages.org/">All the Pages</a> for more examples of my work; I also have  a number of images posted on <a href="http://flickr.com/glowrocks/">my flickr site</a>.</p>

<p>I'm not going to stop taking pictures, but some times, some things must come to an end, and so the time has come to cease posting to luminosity, the photoblog I started after receiving my first digital SLR camera in October of 2005.  </p>

<p>I've taken almost 30,000 photos since then and besides the top 2 percent that have been shared here, I have uploaded many photos to <a href="http://flickr.com/glowrocks/">my flickr site</a> and to my primary site, <a href="http://www.allthepages.org/">All the Pages</a>,  and will continue to display my photos at both sites.</p>

<p>Thanks for stopping by and  I hope you enjoyed  your visit.</p>]]>
