because I just posted something on comics + philosophy, and what are the chances?
here is an explanation of Immanuel Kant’s Critique of Aesthetic Judgment via Wolverine.
when i first looked at this, it looked like an art piece.
A plot of land sustained both cows and people amid floodwaters at the village of Jeram Perdas in the northern Malaysian state of Kelantan on Saturday. Hundreds of villagers were temporarily evacuated from the area after floods were triggered from the start of the annual monsoon season (Fathil Asri/AFP/Getty Images)
Château de Noisy, Celles, Houyet, Namur, Belgium (via missionabandoned)
Le Château de Noisy (also named Château Miranda) was built by the English architect Milner in 1866 as a summer home for the family of the Count of Liedekerke-Beaufort. The family stayed there until World War 2, when the castle was briefly occupied by the Nazi’s. In 1958, the NMBS (the Belgian railroad company) used it as a home to shelter the railroadmen’s children and wives.
Since 1991 the building is abandoned. The village of Celles tried several times to buy the castle and its ground but the family doesn’t want to take distance of the castle. The building has over 500 windows, which are almost all shattered along with several of the staircases inside. There is still a clock tower of 56 meters tall. The castle is popular amongst urban explorers.
I just like to watch people moving around on a familiar neighborhood corner. Looks like a Mr. Rodger’s miniature city in fast-forward action.
