When I feel bad about something – like the woes of having a large belly button – I often think about Demodex folliculorum, a type of mite that lives on our foreheads. At night, it has sex on our faces. The microscopic beasts don’t have an anus, so when they fill up to capacity, they explode. Your face is a literal shitstorm. Somehow that puts whatever issue I’m having back into perspective.

The oldest of the three United States Library of Congress buildings, the Thomas Jefferson Building was built between 1890 and 1897. It was originally known as the Library of Congress Building and is located on First Street SE, between Independence Avenue and East Capitol Street in Washington, D.C. The Beaux-Arts style building is known for its classicizing facade and elaborately decorated interior. Its design and construction has a tortuous history; the building's main architect was Paul J. Pelz, initially in partnership with John L. Smithmeyer, and succeeded by Edward Pearce Casey during the last few years of construction.

Second Life is a place where you can be anything or anyone you want. Sometimes I like being an ant wandering about looking up at the bottoms of chairs. It's an interesting viewpoint: that of being an ant! But I think maybe I'll be a Bokononist ant tomorrow.
On man's destiny, from the Books of Bokonon: "Today I will be a Bulgarian Minister of Education! Tomorrow I will be Helen of Troy!" (Cat's Cradle).

I love the connotations of this word. Apart from it's photographic sense, it's always good to take some time out for yourself and get a little perspective.
I want to say thanks to everyone for all of your great comments and visits to my stream each day. I really appreciate it. I'm currently away for a few days (hopefully I'll come back with some surprising photos to post). So thanks in advance for your visit and comments and I'll catch up with you when I get back.
Thanks to kierobau for the suggested crop. It's always good to get other people's perspective too!
The Surrey City Centre Library in the revitalised Surrey core provides many interesting prepectives in Architecture. From the angle of this shot, the building looks to me like the bow of a large ship. What comes to your mind?
