...a world of possibilities...
I've added three new links to the sidebar, and all three will provide my dear readers with hours of strangeness and beauty.
Cabinet of Wonders is a site maintained by a writer named Heather McDougal, and it features well-written posts covering all sorts of oddities. It is 17th-century Wunderkammer meets steampunk. Heather describes it well:
What we have here is a Cabinet of Wonders, a place where things of interest are set out, in possibly bizarre, possibly fetishistic presentation, for perusal by the discerning, who understand that presentation, and scientific interest, are all a form of magic.The other two sites are short on words, but rich in imagery. If Charlie Parker Was a Gunslinger, There'd Be a Whole Lot of Dead Copycats is a group blog dedicated to... well... pop culture, I guess... Just a lot of strange images, archived under provocative categories.
The Roving Medievalist is the main blog of Jeffrey Smith, Ohio's greatest monarchist, and features lovely photos of usually medieval churches. Scroll down his sidebar and check out some of his numerous other blogs, including one dedicated to Baroque architecture (Frozen Music) and cemeteries (A Morbid Fascination). Enjoy.

Those were pretty cool. Awesome photos at the Charlie Parker site. What a treasure trove!
Yes, very cool sites. I've sent a link to the Charlie Parker Gunslinger site to several people at the library. It's an interesting way to think about organizing digitized photographs.
I liked all of the sites. Thanks for the leads.
Wow, I'm not making this up - Your word verification tonight is: sperm.
