GlamourFilter: Opening Night at La Scala. Pictures from
La Scala's opening nights, dating through the fifties and sixties. (Main story
here, slideshow
here, those links in Italian, but easy enough to figure out for non-speakers.) Pictures of Callas, Toscanini, Princess Grace, Dick and Liz, and many more, all looking impossibly fab and glamourous. (
Via the always informative and entertaining
Opera Chic.)

WarPhotoLTD.com is a Croatian photography showcase intended to "educate the public in the field of war photography, to expose the myth of war and the intoxication of war, to let people see war as it is, raw, venal, frightening, by focusing on how war inflicts injustices on innocents and combatants alike." Search by Photographer, War, Award or Collection, though the site is obviously new-ish and has a small database. Here's a particularly
stunning one from their
current collection ("A Decade of War").

More than you ever wanted to know about
snow, from the physics of formation to just priddy pictures.

The Black Day, indeed. Some amazing pictures in a classy site about Sept. 11. I read in the SF Chronicle (but can't find a link) that he set this up and sent it to a couple of friends, and now it's getting thousands of hits a day.
