Wow, space is HUGE. I can't really see the pictures but I was reading the proportions and it really is mind boggling.
In my hands I hold a candle whose flame is small to see, And if I give but one light to you my life is filled for me.
But...In your hands you hold a torch for many eyes to see, So hold it high that they may light their candlewicks from thee.

It never ceases to amaze me what you can get when you mix a little creativity with spare time and boredom.

That was you I passed? You were all distorted, what with the stretching and all.
