Mr. Bruce Gordon:

I am assuming that you have received your copy of the two emails below in which I requested permission to use a photo from the SkyTruth website.. I would very much appreciate receiving your permission to augment the permission granted by John Amos of SkyTruth.

Thanks in advance,

Dear Sirs:

I am a retired chemical engineer and would like permission to use a photo of the Jonah gas field (Wyoming) from your website in an article that I am writing about natural gas in the Citizendium online, free encyclopedia. A copy of the specific photo is attached below and it was obtained from http://skytruth.mediatools.org/taxonomy/term/270

Citizendium is a non-profit, free online encyclopedia. Volunteer editors, including university professors and other experts, review all articles before they receive final approval. Unpaid volunteer authors, like myself, must be vetted and approved before they can contribute any articles and all authors must use their real names. You may visit the Citizendium at http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Main_Page to learn more.

If you would grant us the permission to use the photo as a public educational service, we would be most grateful. We would prefer the photos be released under a Creative Commons (CC) license ( see http://creativecommons.org/license/ ), but will gladly accept the terms with which you are most comfortable.

Your photo will be viewable worldwide and will be conspicuously labeled "CC Photo:Sky Truth " (or any other name that you specify). If at any time in the future you request the photos' removal, such request will be honored.

Assuming that permission is granted, I will need to receive an email signed by someone, in your management or leadership, stating that permission is granted. We are not otherwise allowed to use photos.

Thanking you for your consideration, I am
