I just got my first 1,000-view photo on Flickr!

I wish I could be prouder of it, but it was taken with a pretty crappy compact digital. For some reason, though, a lot of people are searching for photos of the Stratosphere Tower. It consistently gets up to 20 views per day. I'm puzzled, but welcome the traffic.

I can't stop myself from checking Flickr Stats daily now. Some of the results, like the one I mentioned yesterday, make me laugh.
