Green Velvet in the Land of Fire and Ice

Landslagarkitektar's Litlatún installation in Reykjavik, Iceland is brilliant. The flora in Iceland is so fragile and precious that it makes sense to enclose it, protect it, and keep it close. The idea is that the planted boxes fill the role of the un-realized park (meant to surround the museum) as miniature simulacra. Brought to you and me via The Sourcebook of Contemporary Landscape Design.

Technicolor Nazis

Amazing series of LIFE photographs from Nazi Germany. That they are in color really changes the mood of them (some of them are more famous as black + white reproductions). The washed out color gives them an eerie feeling that I do not think quite comes across in the grainy, albeit more ominous, black and white photography that chronicles much of the World War-era. Overwhelming.
Well, not this one...

Commodore Corrington's

A new brew will be ready in two-ish weeks. It is a fine coppery amber, of a color evoking the rust of the City's decaying mills. There shall be an official tasting, yesssssss.
