Most of the images that go into making our weekly banners come from the giant photo-sharing site flickr.com, which now hosts somewhere over 3.6 Billion photos. It's an awesome resource.
In accordance with Flickr guidelines, we always include a link back to the source page of the image, or the main image if it's a composite of several. If you haven't tried it, the "IMAGE GALLERY" link is found in the bottom left hand edge of the banner, just below the descriptive text. To see it your cursor must be over the banner.
Recently Flickr introduced a new feature: GALLERIES. These allow a Flickr user to group up to 18 photos from other Flickr photographers together in a special set with its own web address. Since I often find a dozen or more worthy images and only use one or two for the banner, this week I made our first gallery to go along with the show. Here's a direct link:

Just click the IMAGE GALLERY link and it will open in a new window or tab on your web browser. Now, instead of one photo, you get a whole gallery to look at while you're listening to the show. To find out more about any photo, just click the larger version and it will take you to the source page. Thanks, Flickr!
Wow!! And egad!! Stunning. Thanks.
