'Scientists at Oxford University Physics Department have developed a revolutionary approach which could generate increasing amounts of solar electricity without the need for silicon-based solar panels. Instead, their innovation works by coating a new power-generating material onto the surfaces of everyday objects such as rucksacks, cars, and mobile phones.'

I photographed these icebergs near Ilulissat, Greenland, 23 minutes before midnight, awhile before sunset. I went to bed at 9 p.m. but randomly woke up at 11:20 p.m. or so, peeked out the window, and grabbed my camera. The distant one I call the Castle was enormous.
