If there is one thing the internet is good for, it's amazing images. I have a habit of saving any interesting pictures I come across from my internet whereabouts and save them in a folder that rotates them on my desktop. I've been at it for a few years now and here are some of my favorites with a brief explanation. Above is a medieval painting by a nun named Hildegard of Bingen who used to get visions from the Lord and record them. This is her impression of recieving those visions, so I presume those strange red things coming out of her eyes as the grace of God and she is hurriedly recording them .
