I've had this one in the archives for quite some time. This is on Antelope Island, Great Salt Lake - sometime last summer.

I walked up to this area and immediately thought that it looked like a belly button. If there was another one right next to it, I think it would look like something else. But I digress....

Here's a giant innie for you.

The Panasonic ZS7 continues to impress, with a 12.1-megapixel sensor and a 12x optical zoom, a high-res 3-inch LCD, full PASM exposure modes, and a new GPS feature to help jog your memory of where you were when you took all those vacation shots.
