Not the most aesthetic photos, but wow. Yesterday, I finished When the Wind Blows, by Raymond Briggs. It's a very short story presented in the form of a comic strip, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't one of the most profound things I've read all year. The story is about an old couple set in an alternate reality of England, where shortly after WWII, two pensioners are caught in the crosshairs of nuclear war. This is a must read and the most powerful anti-war statement I've read in a while.
