“lovelier than stars, we saw the lightning exalt the sky,/Living and lustrous and rapturous as love”

Are these art or science? You decide.

Transient 2: a mix of stormcloud timelapses and lightning slomo. (via)

Plate tectonics, geologists are learning, is more complicated than the simple model you learned in school. (via)

I enjoyed the 'people matvhing paintings' - anf, accepting its assurance that the encounters were not staged, offer you this equal but opposite collection.

I was wondering if they were staged--glad to hear they weren't--it was impressive matching. (And the invisible jumpers collection is very cute!)

[shewhomust]

If you scroll right down to the end of the page, there's a bit of text which says no, they aren't staged, the photographer just spends a lot of time in galleries. Which I am prepared to believe...

[larryhammer]

Hee. That's some impressively staged matched knitwear.

[asakiyume]

Whoa, Transient 2 was *overwhelming*. The way the lightning strikes were matched to the music! And your Swinburne quote, **love**--just perfect for it.

Sometimes Swinburne has the exact right line.
