This evening I am randomly posting up another of my favourite pics.

This is 'Empire of Light', by Rene Magritte.

There's a reasonable amount of Surrealists in the Dean Gallery in Edinburgh. I like him too.

I like the way the tree line is a division between day and night. It's a cool picture.

It's gorgeous, isn't it?

It's just amazing the way night and day do blend together, and in that picture it just almost looks natural, and your brain has to tell you that it isn't right.

Tis a really great painting!

First time I've ever seen it too - have only spent one day in Venice so far.

Interesting trivia about this picture. This picture was the inspiration behind the now classic 'The Exorcist' poster, which I show below...
