Tauba Auerbach’s RGB Colorspace Atlas
Oftentimes I have admired the colors in the color picker in Photoshop, and seen colorspace visualizations in monitor reviews. This three-dimensional representation of the color space in book form, however, is perfect. Thoroughly three-dimensional, and sliceable by turning pages, it is a beautiful object, open or closed. More images at the artist’s website (the website is very annoying to use, and you may prefer to click on the image above, which will take you directly to this exhibit). Via [Colossal]

Waterfall, Monteverde Cloudforest Reserve, Costa Rica, 2012
A waterfall by a trail, in Monteverde Cloudforest Reserve. Nothing in the cloudforest really stays still for long enough to make a blurred-water shot, the result of dripping water, so the leaves near the top are blurred by motion almost as much as the waterfall.
Green Iguana (Iguana iguana), (closeup), Restaurante Las Iguanas, Muelle, Costa Rica, 2012
One of the eponymous iguanas of Restaurante Las Iguanas, a famous stop on the road from la Fortuna to the Rio Frio and Caño Negro. A large number of them inhabit the bamboo and trees near the restaurant/gift shop, attracted by the food the owner leaves for them. Iguanas in Costa Rica are know as Gallina de palo, “Chicken of the Tree,” since they used to be eaten by poor Ricos.
