three rounded figures (like weebles) stand on wet ground. They look like they're in conversation with each other. More figures can be seen in the background

An artwork called 'Conversation Piece' in South Shields, by Juan Muñoz. One of my favourite public artworks. There are 22 figures in total.

El 7 de diciembre de 1880 nacía en Connecticut la pintora impresionista Lilian Westcott Hale.

Es principalmente conocida por sus retratos casi borrosos de mujeres y las escenas intimistas que pintó de la vida doméstica en la línea de la Escuela de Boston.

Early 18th century entertainment. Willem van Mieris called his painting " 't Fraay Curieus" (the wonderful curiosity).

Couldn't help but think what a writer like Butler would have done with an interspecies relationship laced with something like the similes

Finished Embassytown and was a little disappointed by the route it took, the premise and linguistic implications were so fascinating and exciting the actual plot didn't manage to match expectations
