Today is #WorldDraculaDay because Bram Stoker's classic novel was first published #onthisday in 1897. It's also worth remembering that if Stoker hadn't come across the name Dracula in a book while researching in a LIBRARY the main character was going to be called Count Wampyr. 🧛‍♂️

Underwater photography in 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA (1916). Underwater scenes had been popular since the 1890s but had been achieved via sets, props and even shooting through a water tank. This film was properly in the ocean.

The vase and flower, an eternal dialogue between form and beauty.

Photo by Cup of Couple - A single flowering branch, adorned with small, white blossoms, leans gracefully from a slender, textured vase. The arrangement rests atop a white digital piano, its keys partially visible beneath the ledge. A closed laptop sits beside the vase. The composition is calm, bathed in soft natural light, with muted tones that blur the line between still life and silence. Each element is placed with intention, creating a quiet tension between organic form and man-made geometry.
