Images from a photo series called Burkaphilia by Afghan-American artist and designer Behnaz Babazadeh, who sez:

Burkaphilia is a series of works that use the burka as an interface to make commentary regarding cross-cultural bias. More specifically, of what the average Western person (including myself) would associate as an extreme practice of wearing a burka, through iconographic and symbolic imagery. Common themes of the series are popular American foods as well as obsession with consumption and sexuality. The series includes pieces such as a red burka (made entirely of Fruit Roll Ups), a black latex burka and a Fruit Loop cereal burka.

Hello you.

Photographed on Tuesday by Eoin from Skerries Sea Tours who sez:

Did you know there are wallabies on an Island off the Irish coast in Dublin, at Lambay [the easternmost point of the Republic]? They were put out there in the 80s because Dublin Zoo had too many. We see them on our tours.”
