Reykjavik, Iceland.
On a mostly overcast day, a few people walk across a quay or sea break jutting out into the grey water. In the background, the very outskirts of Reykjavik, Iceland. Far behind them, the broad shoulders of snow-covered mountains.

The aurora. A sky that looks almost like a very close Jupiter, with the Great Red Spot in the lower center, seems to crash into a silhouette of pine woods.

A pale, green-eyed half-elven woman in a black gown sits on a rock on a green mountainside dotted with evergreens. There's a playful smile on her face. A mass of copper-red hair tumbles down her back like a rapids, and curly bangs frame her face. Grey-blue mountains rise in the background of the picture with clouds behind them. The sky overhead is blue.

A sunset over the Riverside Dr. Strip on the south side of Iowa City. The sky is a grey-blue in the upper two-thirds of the image, with the sunset seeming to explode out from the lower right. The sunset is a saturated orange-red , fading to pink, and streaked with white. In the foreground are the traffic lights, utility poles and the signs of regional and national businesses. A couple of bare trees occupy the lower left corner.

A 1960s era pedestrian bridge across a river on an overcast day. The rails are painted sea-foam green. The walkway is a textured light grey. A sign in the foreground right, mounted on the rail, reads: "These flags represent the many nations of our students. Welcome, Hawkeyes. The University of Iowa." No flags are in sight. In the far background, on the other side of the river, there is a brick building.

There is no hell hot enough for Henry Kissinger.
Screenshot of a book by Anthony Bourdain that reads: "Once you've been to Cambodia, you'll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia—the fruits of his genius for statesmanship—and you will never understand why he's not sitting at the dock in The Hague next to Milošević. While Henry continues to nibble nori rolls and remaki at A-list parties, Cambodia, the neutral nation he secretly and illegally bombed, invaded, undermined, and then threw to the dogs, is still trying to raise itself on its one remaining leg."
