NatGeo Pic of the Day: Bride, Havana, Cuba (5.18.10)

I thought this was a really interesting picture of the day today. I like how drastically out of place the bride looks, and her great smooth smug smile of satisfaction is just lovely. And how beautiful she looks. What a great portrait.

Ultraviolet Bath Photo, Russia Picture - National Geographic Photo of the Day


It's creepy how the children are standing at such attention, hands behind back, backs straight. Nurse kneeling before the god of artificial sunlight. Reminds me of something you'd see in a David Lynch film, right!?

Ultraviolet Bath, Russia

This Month in Photo of the Day: Images from the National Geographic Archive
Make-believe summer lasts for a minute or two as kindergarten children in sunless Lovozero bathe in ultraviolet light. Brief exposure to UC radiation provides the children with vitamin D, normally supplied by sunlight. The "sunshine vitamin" strengthens young bones.
