RGB designs create surfaces that mutate and interact with different chromatic stimulus. See the Wallpapers collections available: Whose Line Online Mr Poll's Rambles Through my trawling through the internet over the years I have come across many incredible images. I like to save the best of what I find for perusing at my leisure. Here I’d like to start a little series, posting a few at a time and talking a bit about why I like them. The types of images and reasons for liking them will vary widely. They are not incredibly all beautiful images that are technically perfect, some are (in my humble opinion). From time to time there may be images that are not photographs (yes I know what the title says but it was just better like that), I don’t know the author of many of the works because citation simply wasn’t there where I took the image from, or through my own complacence (I promise to do better now in my post starting-a-blog phase). So let us begin… I found this image many years ago from who knows where. The image for me is amazing. I know this may sound a little dark but I think it’s really beautiful.

About Masala Mama — Organic Indian Simmer Sauces & Spices | Masala Mama Yes, Virginia, there really is a Masala Mama. Let me tell you her story, or as much of it as is fit to be printed in a family-friendly medium. Masala Mama came into this world drooling—no doubt at the thought of all the delicious food she was going to eat in this life—in a nursing home in Calcutta, India. The nurse who delivered her rubbed her mother’s stomach and exclaimed, “Masala, Mama!”. The nurse was merely reminding her mother to eat spicy food to get her strength back after childbirth. Born into a family of strict vegetarians who eschewed garlic and onions and frowned upon any kind of spice as ungodly, she chafed under the culinary regime imposed by her elders. Her journey of culinary experimentation continued in the kitchens of her friends’ homes, where she would spend hours talking to their mothers and cooks, learning their recipes and India’s many regional culinary traditions. That night young Masala Mama went home with a gleam in her eye and a dream in her head.
