Still-life bride floating in pond
That’s not the title, I made that up.
The photo is credited to Christian Geisnaes and it is associated with the film Melancholia by Lars von Trier. The actor is Kirsten Dunst.
This is a YouTube clip of the overture. It goes about 8 minutes and needs to be watched full screen with the volume up. (The music is by Wagner, read about it here)

Great photo taken from space
I came across this photo on one of the news websites (photo credited to: Thomas Pesquet/European Space Agency/NASA via The New York Times)
It came with the caption, Berlin at the bottom and Belgium at the top, with the aurora borealis at right, in a picture by Pesquet.
Someone pulled a comment from Pesquet’s facebook page:
I hope the Belgians will stop lightening up their roads in this way, if they don’t want the extraterrestrials to come and land there…But seriously these pictures are a denunciation of wastefulness.
I wonder…. Is it correct that Belgium has nuclear reactors? I’m not sure if they can turn them down at night, so running a lot of street lights might be the thing to do.
