A skeptic's blog featuring the world the way it is: Black and white photographs of France and Germany, lit by the aged light of our sun. These include urban shots from Paris, Cologne, Bonn and Berlin, landscapes like Normandy and street photography. Texts debunking people of faith and anti-science who want to make others believe the universe is a mystical, esoteric place or spread misinformation about the reality of nature. This is supplemented by scientific news concerning astronomy and physics.
