This photo gallery is a collection of images taken from the Hubble space telescope.  Launched in 1990 the Hubble has enabled scientists to see further into space than ever before.  I first came across galleries like this one on CNN.com and found them very interesting. This webpage can be quite time-consuming as there are over 800 pictures in the collection. 

 

These pictures are from the annual Burning Man Festival held out in the middle of the Black Rock Desert in Nevada.  According to the festival’s official website “Trying to explain what Burning Man is to someone who has never been to the event is a bit like trying to explain what a particular color looks like to someone who is blind.”  After viewing these images you’ll agree.  Please be patient with this website, it does work, sometimes after the 1st try, sometimes after the first few tries.

 

This is a gallery of Salvador Dali’s paintings, taken from a New York Times website.  I have always been a big fan of Dali’s and of Surrealism in general. Two years ago I was fortunate enough to visit Dali’s permanent exhibit while studying abroad in London.  His work is even more impressive in person.
