Night Sky in Spain | Perfect For Perseid Meteor Showers

This beautiful dark night sky in Spain would be the perfect place to watch the upcoming meteor showers. The 2010 Perseid meteor shower – August’s famous ’shooting stars’ – will peak this coming week, on the mornings of August 12 and 13. Any night this week, you might see the heavens filled with flying meteors.

Orange Office

This looks like a happy place to get some quality work done, doesn't it? I have an orange desk lamp like the one in the photo that makes me happy. I love the wall color too and the overall design of this modern workspace.

Antique Marbles

I opened a drawer in my studio and found a pile of old marbles I've collected over the years. These are Bennington and clay marbles from the 19th century photographed on an old coverlet.
