    His was a tragic life, actually.

    But, as I like to say of life: The thermodynamics are never in doubt, only the kinetics.

    Looks like a bust of Orson Welles, doesn't it ? So perhaps one CAN mess with the Laws of Thermodynamics.

    Theoretically..... If I have the proper amount of blue agave tequila....I can manipulate the subatomic electron structure of an IC cables simply by lighting a cigarette and TELLING the outer jacket to reject thermal transfer while listening to Fifth Dimension.

    yes, it does (look like Orson Welles), doesn't it?

    Another interesting finding when I was prepping my college lecture course last fall -- a Russian fellow named M. Tswett (or Tsvet), considered the inventor of a powerful technique for the separation of biological molecules called "chromatography", bore a striking resemblance, to my mind at least, to Monty Python's Eric Idle! :-)

    Yes, one does have to be careful when challenging the assumed laws in any field of physics.

    Here at the Institute for Stuff, we attempted to challenge some of Schrodinger's principles with rather dismal results. We had run out of cats, so we resorted to using dogs for testing our postulates..

    http://i.imgur.com/6VHzRk4.gif

    GD dogs completely refused to cooperate, thereby ruining the advancement of science.
    We've moved on to the field of trans-teleportation. Using new volunteers (cats from the local shelter) and a Sharp 1500 watt commercial microwave, we anticipate exciting results.

    It is as you say.

    I like to say:
    On a July day in NH, it's very hard to imagine a February day, and on a February day in NH, it's hard to imagine a July day.

    took one from the other side of our little clump of trees, too -- with the flash on to fill in the foreground a bit and (maybe) alter the exposure of the sky a bit, too. I didn't process this one (nor the ones above) other than to crop it a bit.

    @mhardy6647,

    Beautiful evening scenes, and great photography. Being the amateur that I am, I would never have thought of using a flash to fil in a sunset shot. Well done!

    The thing that amazes me is that some of the sunsets are so extraordinary that, if a painter painted them, I'd say "not realistic!"
