May I humbly request you have a look at my photography (art/science) website, which I have spent much time recently updating and redesigning:

  Mondrian epiphany.

I hadn't noticed the connection myself. Then again, neither did I think of drip paintings when I photographed this:

Holy crap! Amazing stuff. Extremely impressive.  Almost terrifying.

Comments, you say? Love the Goethe quote. The SEM photos of microbes are wonderful, of course (I've seen them several times before ). The writings are interesting, informative, and readable, too.

Of course, on the blog, there's this post about John Szarkowski's Atget book. It is, along with Bill Watterson's complete Calvin & Hobbes, my favourite book.

Don't think I posted any of my pictures from my trip last spring to Virginia.
So here is one.

The "Bloody Angle"  at Spotsylvania Courthouse.  You're looking at a piece of ground where in one day Union and Confederate forces combines suffered about 17,000 casualties--killed, wounded, missing in action or taken prisoner--comparable to the casualties the Allies took on D-Day, except here confinedto the space of about half a mile.  The small ridge is what remains of the Confederate embankment and trenches.


Edit"  I need to learn how to do this.  However,  clicking on the link should take you to the full size picture.

Very nice, Jeffrey.

Regarding how to post stuff from flickr here, choose the BBCode from flickr.

Thank you.  I did use the BBCode, but can't figure out how to size it correctly.

Looking what others did by 'quoting' is cheating, but it's allowed.. 
Just don't copy the extra spaces...
I didn't size it manually, but I chose the size while choosing the BBCode according to the size I wanted.

FWIW, one can use the Insert Code button (#) and just type the code "as is":

Code Select Expand

Well, that is a way, too, certainly.  0:)

Moody fish!

Moody fish!

Perhaps they were aware of their imminent doom.

More fishy business

The grayscale suits the gleam of the scales very nicely.

Oh, I didn't mean the pun on scale . . . just happened . . . .

Yes, all these intricate patterns with a good bit of contrast are wonderful material for monochromes.

If the theme is fish, I will join in
