This empty Culligan bottle was just sitting there, needing to be photographed. I was kicking back, watching some classic Star Wars with the boys, and I realized that our coffee table is glass. The creative, now Strobist influenced, mind starting thinking.

Felt like posting something relaxing and calming....lots of work today...hope to get to everyone's stream this evening.

During a visit to Bagh-e Shahzadeh (Prince's Garden) in Mahan, I saw these two children playing, just a few seconds before the garden's personnel stopped them...
