Some of these are really sweet. I've clicked on it the last three hours, and there is a different kind of visual poetry to each one. Very nice.

This is spellbinding. Of course I am an absolute sucker for triptychs anyway; something about the flow and juxtaposition of three images always seems to suggest something significant to me. In this case, when going through the past images, there is also that element of change from one state to another. The series of about 10 or so, beginning with this one and going backwards was just rather amazing to me.
