Thank for chiming in, Cliff, and thanks for your kind words on ABP. From here, the colors look identical. Strangest of all is that you are looking at the same exact image. Not sure what goes on behind the scenes.

Never saw Dr. Strangelove, but good to know only 10-20 million dead.

with love, artie

No, my first thought was that the bright Velvia-like color reminded me of the great silhouettes in The Art of Bird Photography. Oddly, the larger image that you get by clicking has a less red, more orange color balance.

Never a fan of the Seinfeld show (or any sitcom, it seems, after high school). But you’re right that we’ve “progressed” into a mean, ugly, and dangerous place, and also about the value of laughter. A favorite line from a hilarious favorite movie, Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove: “Mr. President, I’m not saying we wouldn’t get our hair mussed. But I do say no more than ten to twenty million killed, tops.” Or as the film’s Major Kong puts it, “Well boys, I guess this is it. New’klr combat, toe-to-toe with the Rooskies.”
