A glimpse on animal insanity.

Sometimes a little anthropomorphization is needed.

from Werner Herzog's 'Encounters at the end of the world'

It looks almost like a movie scene:

San Francisco by night, empty city streets, the last bus to 46th Av., twenty raccoons scurrying for food...

Royal Inbreeding:

Forming political alliances among elite power-brokers and strange human phenotypes since... Well, since ever.

Charles II, King of Spain (1661-1700), by Juan de Miranda Carreno.

The swallow flight...

Or how to turn Star Wars spaceships maneuvers in something absolutely plain and ordinary.

Your good action for today:

Kicking out a little bit of the mythological weight from the wolf's back.
