Picture of the Day

Posted by Tom Vanderwell

Tom here, I’m starting a new “feature” on the blog that I’m calling the picture of the day.    What is it?  Probably a couple of times a week, I’m going to try to put up a picture from Haiti.   In most cases, I’ll be able to credit back to the original source, but not always, unfortunately, that’s the way things work on the web.

In any case, none of the pictures are actually mine and if you are the owner of any of them, please leave the information in the comments and accept my apologies. 

The first picture is an aerial picture of the Presidential Palace.   As I’m sure many of you know, the Presidential Palace was damaged significantly.   But the thing that really struck me about this picture is that the “plaza” across from the palace is now a tent city…….
