Cover of the book 'Thing Explainer - Complicated Stuff in Simple Words' by Randall Monroe.

Cover are for the album In the Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel. It features an almost cartoon-like portrayal of sea swimmers in edwardian dress, with a woman with a drumhead or maybe tambourine for a face in the foreground. She wears early 20th century corsetted red sleeveless dress.

An Australian Shelduck looks out to sea from the western end of Wadjemup Island in Western Australia. It is a large waterfowl with dark head and body and a chestnut coloured neck. Very different colouration from the ones I see in the UK.

A group of five Crested Terns perched on rocks, one giving its wings a bit of a flap while the others ignore it.

A variety of skinny Australian eucalyptus trees are blurily silhouetted against the last pinky red streak of sunset, on a ridge in the Blue Mountains, New South Wales.
