12/12/12...

I'll come clean: I took this shot so as to have something to post on this once-in-a-lifetime; and last repeating date this century. For some it will be considered a lucky date: for other it foresees the end of the world - although that is also interpreted by some as the 21st of the month, so we have a bit of time yet.

To be honest, I hadn't given the calendar date any prior thought, although it would have been nice to be set up somewhere, and take a photograph as all the twelves of the day lined up (twelve minutes and twelve seconds past mid-day), but it is now an opportunity lost forever to this particular photographer. There won't be a similar date to celebrate until January 1st, 2101, so make a note in your diary and don't miss out!
