Photography is a means of recording temporary effects of light. It began by a process in which light energy created structures of silver crystals on a glass plate. Now it is created by […]
This is no ordinary planet we live on. I think it’s best to walk outside and take a look … There are many flames, new and old, in this photograph of Middleton […]

There are many ways to talk about the earth. One is to speak about it in its own terms. Take the word height, which means hill and head all at once. It’s related […]
Remember? Yesterday I pointed out that each of the plants below, although far apart in botanical class-action, share the power of redness, which arises at different points on each plant, stem, leaf and […]
