Sandstone Pillars, Sahara Desert, Chad, 1999
Photograph by George Steinmetz
Spires of eroded sandstone stand like ancient pillars in the red dunes of Chad’s Karnasai Valley in the central Sahara desert. Fierce winds, punishing sandstorms, and occasional douses of rain are slowly turning these rock formations back into the sand from which they were made.

Mayhem
A Lappet-faced Vulture chase White-backed Vultures away from an Impala carcass. (Kruger National Park, South Africa). It was very difficult to get good photos at this sighting due to the amount of dust and the tall grass.
The Lappet-faced Vulture has a powerful beak and other vultures often rely on the Lappet Lappet-faced Vulture to tear open the skin of a carcass. This vulture is between 78 and 115 cm tall and has a wingspan of 3 meters. The Lappet-faced Vulture is endangered in South Africa.

M51 Hubble Remix
Explanation: The 51st entry in Charles Messier’s famous catalog is perhaps the original spiral nebula – a large galaxy with a well defined spiral structure also cataloged as NGC 5194. Over 60,000 light-years across, M51’s spiral arms and dust lanes clearly sweep in front of its companion galaxy (right), NGC 5195. Image data from the Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys has been reprocessed to produce this alternative portrait of the well-known interacting galaxy pair. The processing has further sharpened details and enhanced color and contrast in otherwise faint areas, bringing out dust lanes and extended streams that cross the small companion, along with features in the surroundings and core of M51 itself. The pair are about 31 million light-years distant. Not far on the sky from the handle of the Big Dipper, they officially lie within the boundaries of the small constellation Canes Venatici.

Light seeping through the cracks in an igloo. I hope that’s just a badly built igloo.
Jack Daniel’s Sightning
Damn was I surprised to see this beauty in Europe.
Too bad it’s 34 US dollars for the bigger bottle. The same sized vodka bottle is 8 US dollars here.
Capitol bldg circa 1846
A daguerreotype of the United States Capitol in 1846, with the original green copper dome as designed by Charles Bulfinch. Over time, extensions to both the north and south wings, made to accommodate the addition of new states to the Union, made the dome aesthetically displeasing, and as a result, it was replaced by a white cast iron dome which was completed in 1866.
