The Colour Run happens in the summer when fun runners somehow get covered in pastel shades of pigment. I am not sure how or why. When cleaning up afterwards, the street sweeping truck pumps pigment dust into the air, pigmenting the atmosphere in a rather charming (and presumably hazardous) way. Here are some views of the effects and the cause.

I met up with Perry Kulper in Moscow, Idaho, a couple of  weeks ago where we gave lectures and participated in reviews. While exploring Moscow we came across this drug store/toyshop. Photo by Perry Kulper.

This is from the Los Angeles Natural History Museum – there is a wonderful version at the American Museum of Natural History in New York with a background painting by William R Leigh and exquisite taxidermy for the animals.
