The art of ‘book sculptor’ Emma Taylor, who tells new stories with old books rescued from charity and second hand shops.
Using only glue, scissors and the pages of the books she carves, Taylor also themes her sculptures in keeping with the subject matter of the books they’re made from, ie. a garden scene emerging from ‘An Introduction to Botany’ and Italian houses hewn from ‘The Story of Venice’.
Behold: the glamorous Black Star Car Wash – Moscow’s trendiest suds ‘n’ saloons salon.
As patrons chill in the café behind full height glass, the white light, neon and black interior is designed to reveal every streak and smudge as cars are valeted, having been washed behind clear plastic curtains to protect newly detailed motors from stray splashes.
The sixth rock (well, gas giant with a rocky core) from the Sun is not always visible because, quite often, our Moon passes in front of it. To wit:
Such a Saturnian eclipse was visible along a small swathe of Earth — from Brazil to Sri Lanka — near the end of last month. The featured colour image is a digital fusion of the clearest images captured by successive videos of the event taken in red, green, and blue, and taken separately for Saturn and the comparative bright Moon.
The exposures were taken from South Africa just before occultation — and also just before sunrise. When Saturn re-appeared on the other side of the Moon almost two hours later, the Sun had risen. This year, eclipses of Saturn by the Moon occur almost monthly, but, unfortunately, are visible only to those with the right location and with clear and dark skies.
