Each time we flush the toilet we waste perfectly good amount of water. Our water systems in our houses and flats are stupid: it should collect hardly dirty water from showering, washing machines and washing up to flash down crap.

What a lovely montage with one of my favourite stars and a Red Head in Deep Blue water is a special contrast.
Brilliant work by Madame Leibovitz!

It must be amazing to "fly" under water like this fellow here. Gee, I love watching the creatures of the oceans. They are amazing.

Some deep sea creature defy our usual concept how an animal should look like. This odd blob is just brilliant.
This year the Easter Bunny was especially hard at work and put all your eggs into a shark invested reef!
Happy Easter to all my friends and readers out there …

Gustave Dore is a giant. He created amazing illustrations and paintings. Too bad that modern publishers hardly illustrate their books anymore.

Another classic from one of my favorite painters. This painting feels fresh and vibrant. Her nudity is natural – not extra sexy and not extra horny.
The only thing I want to see now: what happens when that wave hits her? 
Heinrich Heine:
I don’t know what it may signify
That I am so sad;
There’s a tale from ancient times
That I can’t get out of my mind.
The air is cool and the twilight is falling
and the Rhine is flowing quietly by;
the top of the mountain is glittering
in the evening sun.
The loveliest maiden is sitting
Up there, wondrous to tell.
Her golden jewelry sparkles
as she combs her golden hair
She combs it with a golden comb
and sings a song as she does,
A song with a peculiar,
powerful melody.
It seizes upon the boatman in his small boat
With unrestrained woe;
He does not look below to the rocky shoals,
He only looks up at the heights.
If I’m not mistaken, the waters
Finally swallowed up fisher and boat;
And with her singing
The Lorelei did this.
German Original:
Ich weiß nicht, was soll es bedeuten,
Daß ich so traurig bin;
Ein Märchen aus alten Zeiten,
Das kommt mir nicht aus dem Sinn.
Die Luft ist kühl, und es dunkelt,
Un ruhig fließt der Rhein;
Der Gipfel des Berges funkelt
In Abendsonnenschein.
Die schönste Jungfrau sitzet
Dort oben wunderbar,
Ihr goldenes Geschmeide blitzet,
Sie kämmt ihr goldenes Haar.
Sie kämmt es mit goldenem Kamme
Und singt ein Leid dabei;
Das hat eine wundersame,
Gewaltige Melodei.
Den Schiffer im kleinen Schiffe
Ergreift es mit wildem Weh;
Er schaut nicht die Felsenriffe,
Er schaut nur hinauf in die Höh’.
Ich glaube, die Wellen verschlingen
Am Ende Schiffer uns Kahn;
Und das hat mit ihrem Singen
Die Lorelei getan.
Sirens and other watery female creatures seem an endless topic in European myths (like other Rhine Maidens, Mermaids or Siren in general). One of them is is Germany’s Lorelei.
It’s actually a place: a rock somewhere down the Rhine.
Like so many waterspirits she also tempted guys to go into the water and suffer a miserable death.

Women are dangerous – we all know that. But Mr Rossetti’s ladies are the most beautiful of them all. Although his type seems to be redheads. Oh well, more fire for him!
