This month we:
Just a selection to share as examples of a home computing user's activities.
Here is a collage of some pictures from this month's example.
(I also have copied from images from the official Web sites (such as http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/home/index.html) as demonstration examples. If you are interested in what I select over the next couple of months, click on the following. Make sure, however, you rely on the offical Web sites for current, accurate, information and images!).
The images shown in this Web page are in the "computer" as a result of being obtained from a digital camera or from scanning a photograph or other item. The following shown images default to digital camera origin and, if not, the shown picture will be identified as a scanned image. If digital camera, the photograph has normally been taken at an Olympus Camera "HQ" setting of 1.3 megapixels (1280 x 960), with some pictures having been taken at less pixel detail ("SQ") 0.3 megapixels 640 x 480). In most cases, even if the digital picture was taken at these-mentioned sizes, the picture has been resized for showing on computer screens. I try to keep most images to have a maximum height of 600 pixels for computer-display. I use Paint Shop Pro (from JASC) as my primary application for modifying/resizing/coming photographic images into one image (photo).
Scanned photographs are scanned at 300 PPI (Pixels Per Inch), 150 or 100 PPI, and the chosen PPI will be identified in the comments for that particular image.
The following is aimed at showing examples of using a computer system, digital cameras, and perhaps scanners, as part of home computing environment. Hopefully, the shown pictures will give you some ideas for use of your home computer system.

We traveled this year to a wonderful part of the world: The mountains of Switzerland. (Click on the individual pictures if you wish to see them in a larger size. If you do click on the following, use your Web browser's Back button to return to here.).
Some Windows of St. Gallen
St. Gallen, Switzerland is a nice city to walk around - and enjoy!
(The following is not clickable. I mention this since the previous image was clickable.)
Some House Walls of Appenzell
Appenzell, Switzerland's houses are often painted in scenes and colors that contribute to another enjoyable stroll.

I hope your travels resulted in some views you captured with your camera and the images are "saved" on your home computing system -- and shared with family/friends.
We enjoyed a variety of sweets in 2003!

Enjoy!
Again this month I select two golf holes (Par 3s, again, this time), one on the England/Scotland side of the Atlantic Ocean and one on the USA side of the Atlantic.
Although the surroundings are different -- they both are wonderful Par 3s. The one on the left is from Cruden Bay. The one on the right is from Florida's Admirals Cove (East Course) in Florida.
(Click on either to see in larger size.)
.........
I wish you well in your picture taking and travels or other activities -- and hope you share that with a journal and Web-type of presentation you share with family/friends.
