["Dan Heim" <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

And a happy Equinox to all from Heimhenge.  I've been having fun with that
TC-80N3 remote time-lapse controller for my Canon EOS 20D.  On March 20th, I
shot a sequence of images that captures the motion of the shadow of the
Equinox Rock here at Heimhenge.  Unlike Stonehenge, I only need to travel to
my front yard to see this show.  You can view this video at:

If you have a dialup connection, this page may take a minute to load (700

we've sprung into Spring!
