Comfort viewing after a long day of travel and delays. A firm favorite (have lost track of how many times I have viewed it) from 1973. Directed by genius queer director Curtis Harrington and starring legendary icon Gale Sondergaard. Egyptian occult suspense rules!
Mysterious snake spirits of the Dw3t (the ancient Egyptian Underworld) as depicted in the tomb of Pharaoh Seti I.

Saying good night to my BlueSky friends with this incredible sight. On June 31, a rare 22-degree solar halo appeared above Devils Tower in Wyoming. The ring formed as sunlight passed through millions of tiny hexagonal ice crystals, creating one of nature's most beautiful optical displays.
