 Shot on a lark while I was doing some work in the planetarium. I wasn't even thinking about challenges at the time and didn't know of the "books smarts" until I got home. Decided to toss it in, what the hey. I should reshoot with a wider aperture for shorter shutter, but I can't get the time. I hate that my silhouette is so blurry. D'oh!

I admire you from deviating from the "glasses on the book" norm. Bravo! Thanks for thinking outside of this "galaxy" :)
