Google used one for the full moon on June 16, 2011, the longest lunar eclipse for more than a decade, just a few days before the Southern Hemisphere's Winter Solstice, a big day for the Almanac. The one on December 10 in the same year was best seen by people in Asia and Australia.) We missed it in Bellingen, in flooding rains. I would have loved to have seen it. I've seen some glorious eclipses.  I presume Google has protected it some way, as  I haven't been able to get it with the slider that took it through various colours, such as the beautiful copper-coloured moon I've seen but rarely in my life during eclipses. Maybe some day I'll have the skills. 
I expect some day soon to have the eyesight after the assault upon me.It's healing slowly, but I am determined, as my friends know.

As you will see if you click 'Google logos', they've made a big deal of it over the years. In the Almanac I have started developing pages of Google logos of particular association with Almanac special interests.

Kindly disregard much of the page as it is now, as a great deal, pending permission from Google, the Almanac's much preferred search engine since soon after its foundation in the 1990s (when I ceased promotion of older, inferior modes of Internet search), will be deleted and/or changed by the relaunch in late-2011. I just wanted to show a few things similar to what we can all expect. I trust they'll be very good pages, and 'very Almanac'. Also known as Google Doodles, they have a fascinating story. You might like to read about their history, from Google itself. Pip Wilson, October 28, 2011.

Tom Sawyer paints the fence. One of the most engaging moments in the writings of Mark Twain,
who was not far from the Woolgoolga region (he mentions it in a poem), near my current home in Bellingen, where I lived (at Sandy Beach), nearby for
several years in the early 2000s. Twain mentioned Woolgoolga in a poem.
