My Sincere Thank You

Today, thanks to the supports of my beloved PBase artists, my "Grand Prismatic Hot Spring" image http://www.pbase.com/image/76073632 made it to the first page of the "All Time" gallery of the "Popular Photos" gallery in PBase.
I understand that PBase is not a photo contest site but a place where images of significance is shared. Thus by no means my image is the "best" in anyway. I believe the original intention of the voting system is a means to draw viewers to images of significance by popluarity votes so that those images will not be missed or ignored.
I am very happy not just because my image is popular, but more so that with my image in the Popular Photos gallery, I am able to bring the attention of the viewers in the world to the beauty of the natural wonders our Mother Earth provided us and to encourage viewers to actively engage in the preservation of such wonders for generations to come.
So, once again, thank you all.
