• Not my job

• Optical illusion: diamonds marked 1 and 2 are of the same brightness. If you're not convinced, then load it in some BMP editor (e.g., paintbrush), cut one of the "lighter" diamonds, and move it gradually up to a "darker" one: it progressively and very conspicuously gets darker! I was very impressed.

• Another nice optical illusion

• Illusions based on color confusions

• Brilliant colour photography from a century ago

• The country of Texas (from Banga's page)

• Kids these days..

• Some brilliant and acutely nostalgic snapshots of IITB (catch that sunset!), Bombay (oh to be in..), Kerala (wow!), and the Himalayas on Mosh's website. Thanks, Mosh.

• Another stupendous snapshot of daily Bombay life (case in point), from Cris Pedregal Martin's collection of fascinating photographs.

• More Bombay and even more Bombay (e.g., V.T. station). [Viewing these photos, it suddenly sinks home as to the astounding number of distinctive facets that make up this wonderful city, sometimes I think even more so than other big cities of the world; the diversity of its peoples shaping the city in an umpteen ways may be one factor.] Nice panoramics and some touristy photographs.

• Monkeyhead (kinda cute) and Tonguemonster (kinda gross)
  

• My roommate's meow in Boston and some nice photos someone sent me once.

• High speed photograpy. (off /.)

• Chemlab-of-yore nostalgia. I saw the NO2_aniline photo, and golly, I could distinctly smell it right then. (off /.)
