Spanish pride

This is a lovely photo of a Spanish market. I borrowed it from a photo site. I hope they don't see it here and then sue me for using it. I asked permission but they never responded. What should I have done? If we ever meet and they make demands, I'll have to take it down. Oh well. Just try to identify some of the goods for sale here. It's impossible. I remember my dad used to take me to the market in Juarez almost every weekend. There was incredible variety and everyone tried to sell you something. He would almost always have a shrimp cocktail and I would get a lemonade made from green limes.

Van Gogh is dead

This is an experiment of sorts. Someone fooled around with one of Van Gogh's paintings - Starry Night. Most people have seen this piece in books, at art shops, and at hobby stores. I have no clue where the original is hanging. Amsterdam? Who knows? I didn't bother with researching it. The question is: can just anybody turn another painter's art into another piece of art? Is it still viable? Who knows? I knew a conductor who used to change a few notes on Beethoven's symphony scores because he thought it made the work sound better. His explanation? "He won't mind, he's dead."
