The colour of the Nile

The Bride's dress was described as being 'eau de nil' the colour of the nile. (From the French eau de nil: eau, water, and Nil, the Nile.) Other 'colour names' currently listed (in the incomplete list) on the wiktionary page for 'colour names' that begin with the letter 'E' include: ecru, eggshell, emerald green, ebony, eggshell blue, electric-blue, emerald. FYI I recommend the Wikipedia page on colours for a far more complete list.

Felt like we hadn't posted any urban music video stills in a while. These are from Cyhi da Prynce's Living Wonderful directed by Decatur Dan.

Have I mentioned recently how completely amazing the light is in Miami!?

I have long been accumulating screen shots of particularly interesting scenes I've come across while on google Street View. However, these screenshots from this guy's tumblr are far better. Makes me wish I could spend more time on Street View. More to come.
