Cream of the crema

From random sites here, here, here, here.

Really, really long

Both these pictures were posted on this site. Some people just say "get over it", but it's hard to get over how these things can be this long!

Palissy ware for posterity

I'm a nature lover, and for this reason alone, I think Palissy ware is incredible. Bernard Palissy, who started this style, lived in the Renaissance period from 1510 to 1590. Amazing work, and even more amazing that pieces survive today. These photos were ripped from here and there--sorry no credits.

Vaginicola et al.

Goblet cell, Vaginicola (how can you not love an organism called Vaginicola?), plant vasculature, and a distressed artery, all in beautiful color. These images come form this site for awards in biomedical imaging.
