I don't disagree with the intent of the new California data privacy law that went into effect this year. Anything that makes Google or Facebook squirm is fine with me. But so far the only effect of this and a somewhat similar European regulation is there is one more stupid button to click on when you visit a site, joining the ranks of millions of meaningless government-mandated disclosures that pollute our lives. My web site thomasoneil.com does not plant cookies or collect data so I will not be adding a stupid button.
Photography web sites and the blog that binds them. If Blogspot is not loading images, just click on the link and you will see the image on my site.

Photo of the Year 2019
I've been doing this now since 2002, and since I'm the only one allowed to enter I can make up the rules as I go along. It was a year in transition as we began preparations for our move from the Midwest to Montana. The POY is from January when we toured Yellowstone, first by snowcoach to the waterfalls, then by vehicle through the Lamar Valley. This image is from along the Madison River, a coyote working its way through the snow and up a snag of trees. There also were some interesting bighorn images from the Lamar Valley, a flying baby bison in Custer State Park, 4th of July fireworks in Red Lodge, MT, the Thunderbirds, and what may be my last eagling trip to Missouri.
Here are my POY selections for 2002-2018.
