Another pic from math Master & Commander, Steve O’Keefe. This one’s from New Year’s Day at Great Falls. Or rather above Great Falls. Given the ice on the roads on this late start Tuesday, this looks like the best way to travel. To see other PhotO’Keefe’s click here.

With the threat of snow flurrying about, here’s a photo that math Master & Commander, Steve O’Keefe, took last year during Snowmageddon ’10.

Here’s a couple photos from the Math Master & Commander’s holiday trip to Longwood Gardens (a truly beautiful place in any season).
