Glory.jpgGlory never fades...96 visiteIf you tried to enter this hall of fog, you would find it dissipates around you. The hall is actually an the mountain from which this picture was taken.
Known as "The Glory", the phenomenon is frequently seen from airplanes. The ring's center is not visible, but if it were, the shadow of the observer would appear. This shadow would likely change as clouds passed, creating a faux moving giant known as the Brocken Spectre.
Pictured above, several concentric rings of the glory appear to create a hall for this mountain king. The cause of The Glory has only been understood recently and is relatively complex. Briefly, small droplets of water reflect, refract, and diffract Sunlight backwards towards the Sun. The phenomenon has a counterpart in astronomy, where looking out from planet Earth in the direction opposite the Sun yields a bright spot called "The Gegenschein".MareKromiumMag 04, 2010

Setting_Moon.jpgSetting Moon57 visiteIt's a mystery to me - the game commences
For the usual fee - plus expenses
Confidential information - I send a diary - this is my investigation - it's not a public inquiry...
I go checking out the reports - digging up the dirt
You get to meet all sorts in this line of work
Treachery and treason - there's always an excuse for it
And when I find the reason I still can't get used to it...
And what have you got at the end of the day?
What have you got to take away?
A bottle of whisky and a new set of lies
Blinds on the windows and a pain behind the eyes
Scarred for life - no compensation
Private investigations...
