Amazing Photo Gallery
I've had this gallery in my favorites for quite some time now, and every so often I'll just go and stare at some of these pictures. How can anyone be this good? Really, if you follow one link off this website, make it this one:
A gallery of photographs by Leo Palmer.
These photos make me want to travel so much more every time I see them. Egad, the wanderlust.
Landscapes are my favorite type of art, and, although he only has 6 of them, they're incredible.
This photograph makes me just shake my head in amazement.
"A dark rock landscape with snow capped mountains in the background, a coral sea & stormy sky.
In reality rotting wood & peeling paint on the side of an old rowing boat."

Pictures and Links! Happy!
Ok, first off,
another gallery. Except this one's a gallery of famous sites and landmarks, with souvenirs replacing them. Observe:
Most of them are like this one, held perfectly over the landmark, creating very strange and cool effects. Check it out.
Next, we have a wonderful pie chart showing how much of itself resembles Pac-Man. Very educational.
Now, a cool little thing called
Drawing with Blue Water. Very neat.
Last for tonight,
40 Things That Can Only Happen in a Movie.
And with that, I'm going to watch Finding Forrester, because I'm not going to class tomorrow.

The Northern Lights
I recently stumbled upon an
amazing gallery of pictures of Aurora Borealis, taken by Bjorn Jorgenson. There are some really phenomenal shots on there. Here are a few of my favorites, but with more than 70 pictures in the gallery, I'm barely scratching the surface.
Now a little education, courtesy my Astronomy class. Aurora Borealis (and Aurora Australis, its southern counterpart) is formed when charged particles from the sun interact with Earth's magnetic field. Normally they are deflected around the earth by its magnetism, but near the poles the field forms almost a funnel shape, and the particles spiral down it towards the ground, creating the lights. But you know, it doesn't really matter
how they happen, they're just really cool.
