Giuseppe Croff, The Veiled Nun, circa 1860.
This is too amazing for me to know what to say.
Wow. Just wow.
“All this stuff streams down into me. My own books drive themselves. I know roughly where a book is going to end, but essentially the story develops under my fingers. It’s just a matter of joining the dots – and that process really hasn’t got any more difficult since my diagnosis.”
Terry Pratchett, one of my favorite authors, in a 2009 interview. I love how he describes story-writing.. And despite being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2007, he’s continued to write and publish Discworld books. I think he’s up to 39 books now?
I was so sad when I discovered he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.
Beautiful architecture.
“American Gods” by Nicolas Delort
“American Gods” was a good book and these illustrations are awesome.
This photo of a Fire Rainbow (taken by Matthew Haskill) is a rare meteorological occurence. A meteorologist explains:
“The sun has to be in the right position — at least 58 degrees above the horizon — and the right cloud, a wispy and high up cirrus formation, must also be in place.
If the cloud is made up of the proper kind of ice crystals and the sun is aligned correctly, the crystals will act as a prism for the sun, producing a spectrum of colours that can last for hours.”
Gorgeous.
