I’ve written about @satscenes before [though the post is hardly worth clicking through to!] and I’m quite proud that I’ve managed to submit a satscene for every Saturday this year with one hitch once where @akaSylvia graciously allowed me to submit one late.
Satscenes are “photographs of people enjoying their Saturday from around the world” with the only rule being that they must have been taken on a Saturday in their respective timezone. Submission is through Twitter by sending an imagelink to @satscenes and including a location. It is the brainchild of @akaSylvia and maintained by her since Summer 2008.
Here are my 53 Satscenes submissions in 2011:
