Some comic relief

There is way too much bad weather and way too much bad news!  So when I hit my computer this morning I decided to look for some fun images, and I found two in MSN’s photoseries.

The first is the series “Oddly around the world in February.”  There are a lot of fun images in that series, but I think that my favorite is Mikael Buck’s of Rex Features image showing London commuter Daniel Amankwah surprised on his way to work, as the 17th century plague doctors invade the tube in London.  Men in black dressed as ravens? Hmm! Now the reaction would certainly have been different in the New York City subway.

Then there is a really amusing series entitled “Celebrities as masterpieces.”  This series originally from Worth1000.com (their Celebrity Time Travel series) depicts photographs of celebrities photoshopped into great paintings from the renaissance and beyond.  It is not an expression of celebrity ego.  There are a lot of images here that brought a smile to my face.  As ever, Natalie Portman stuns! But really there is none better than “Mike Tyson as the “Mona Lisa.”
