Water Lillies - 2002-04-21  
When I look around at the way our entire culture has become trademarked and copyrighted, I become very depressed. What is this doing to creativity? What is this doing to innovation?

This is a great web site and the photos are excellent, I agree with you there is not too much free good stuff anymore on the web everything is copyrighted - I want to use some of the photos to make cool wallpapers and then place them on my web site as public domain so people can enjoy them free too. Thanks!!!
