Thanks Kai, I do love that picture as well!
Very cool

You should have included the picture of you on the plane when the oxygen masks came down on your emergency landing flight. Either way, amazing pics.
Haha, Gary I almost did actually
Not many can say they’ve visited 7 continents in a lifetime let alone a year. Merry Christmas, Lee.

Thanks Chanel and yes it is great trust me!
Amazing pics Lee. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from a huge fan in Oklahoma!
Thanks Debbie! Happy holidays to you as well in Sooner country!
Just the fact that you went to Guantanamo Bay should make it the top picture of 2013.
