Katran’s unnamed age | Monticello dam spillway
More on the spillway, which is nicknamed the Glory Hole. Oddly horrifying.

Dirty thunderstorms
A dirty thunderstorm (also, Volcanic lightning) is a weather phenomenon that occurs when lightning is produced in a volcanic plume. A study in the journal Science indicated that electrical charges are generated when rock fragments, ash, and ice particles in a volcanic plume collide and produce static charges, just as ice particles collide in regular thunderstorms.
Fascinating phenomenon.
Book of Boys by Girls
Some of Book of Boys most popular posts are from the magazine - Boys by Girls, a publication founded by Cecilie Harris. Boys by Girls features amazing portraiture of boys photographed through the eyes of girls. With a catalogue of 4 issues, featuring models Jake Cooper, Rory Torrens and many more, Boys by Girls is about to release their 5th issue.
However, to take their publication even further, they need our help. Boys by Girls is currently running a Kickstarter, asking the public to pledge £3,000, $4,500 for those across the pond. You can contribute any amount of money, but the more you pledge the better.
You don’t have to appreciate male portraiture to appreciate Boys by Girls, the photography featured in the magazines is an art in itself.

High Tide, Low Tide by Michael Marten
The drowned town.
Is it just me or this a ‘shopped picture of Mont St. Michel? I’m not 100% sure just looking at it but at a glance it looks like the monastery of Mont St. Michel, and unless the world’s undergone a disastrous second flood of Biblical proportions I’m not sure why the whole rest of the island is underwater. It’s a tidal island, but it’s not that tidal!
It doesn’t have a caption on it claiming that it’s a legitimate depiction of anything, so I’m cool with it as a piece of surrealist computer-generated art, but since ‘shopped pictures float around a lot on Tumblr being touted or assumed as real, I feel like I should note that Mont St. Michel is very cool and looks more like this. One of my bucket list travel destinations!
It is, indeed, probably a shop. It’s by a French photographer/photoeditor named Ghislain Decq, and it can be seen here (in color) on his best of page, with a number of other surreal reflections, so…
Good to confirm! Sourcing is good, e’erybody. (This also goes for unedited photography.)
