I am new to the community here and have already received some helpful advice from others who are also on the mailing list.  I wish to share a photograph that I captured while in Neah Bay WA over the Summer this year that I would love feed back on and possibly a chance for the administrators in the Ubuntu community to approve it for usage :).  Please, all members feel free to comment as I welcome it.  Thank you again for the opportunity to serve and help out in whatever way I can in the Ubuntu community.
