Crowd erupted at the balance, and was even louder after that. |
Here's the view from the camera in the hand of the very excited girl in the blue wig several rows down. We had talked all year about wanting to make a shot from the bridge, but realistically you'd never go to the bridge with an unshot ball. It finally happened here, after clearing out a ball stuck under the bridge.

"The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors, so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe .... In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. "
