Calibration

Tonight the professor checks the settings of the machine, the inmost chamber of which holds the light from a perfect Spring day some six months before, a day of fragrance and gentle breezes. In truth, the Professor is none other than the Daylight Robber, who caused an apparent eclipse and general panic when he extracted the sun's presence from this vanished May 12. For years he has been studying the translation of light into the language of other senses than vision.

It's been awhile since I did a t-shirt, so I just put this on redbubble, and the Illustration Friday prompt is unbalanced.

In other news, I realized I was late announcing the Icarus winner, he will be flying off to Megan at All I need is Everything

Laissent parfois sortir de confuses paroles....

Nature is a temple whose living pillars

Sometimes give forth strange perfumes...

There is another night scene on Alice's Drawing Board which is exquisite.
