I made this image with the help of glycerol, a pipette, a piece of glass from an old frame and a heart cut out of red paper. Put glycerol drops on a sheet of glass, which is slightly elevated, and stick the heart underneath - the drops will reflect whatever is underneath and give lots of tiny reflections. It's fun to play around with the size and number of drops. For editing the image, I played around with Nik filters to give this slightly psychedelic effect.
This heart collection goes into the "Being German" section, just to juxtapose and deflect from the general German bashing, which is en vogue at the moment by all the good people in the international press about our treatment of the poor Greek. Giving away over 100 billion Euros of German taxpayers' money to a country of 11 Mio. inhabitants, who neither seem to want it nor will pay it back, this costly folly must surely warrant a general outcry about heartlessness and worse.
After a journey of more than nine years through our solar system, the "New Horizons" probe has brightened up the week!
Hearts and more
