going through 2013

in quest for providing additional photos to tom’s friend’s bedroom (i’m getting paid! and the criteria are “lots, black and white, serious/masculine” – see progress here – https://www.flickr.com/photos/olya/sets/72157648257300823/ ) i am now deep in 2013 and found this awesome memory:

i lined up, paid, and saw the tiny white planet, hundreds of kilometers away, shining.
