No no no. It's not the time for going outdoors and having sandwiches and finger foods with family and friends. Although one can see floating kites, picking blackberries, buttering sandwiches, stealing picnic baskets, fluffing clouds while waiting for Picnik to load.Those of you who blogs in the office without a photo editing software will definitely need to bookmark this. Seriously. Because Picnik will save you a lot of hassles and headache. And you could do it anywhere... it's an online photo editor.

Quote from their site:
"With Picnik you can quickly edit all your online photos from one place. It's the easiest way on the Web to fix underexposed photos, remove red-eye, or apply effects to your photos."

I have tried their online demo and it works great. Upload your photo and tweak all you want. Choose from a horde of effects. And they are still in Beta Version. So expect loads to come. They could perhaps add a text button too.

feast your eyes on the saxon state library in dresden, germany.

it's a frikkin' beautiful library to begin with but the most interesting part for me is that the glass ceiling is actually at ground level - the whole building has been designed to sit below ground apart from 2 sections which protrude either side of the submerged room. it's by no means the 1st of it's kind but it's certainly one of the best examples.

there are advantages to constructions of this kind, namely a quieter atmosphere, less need for temperature control and the ability to use limited space efficiently, e.g. sitting on top of the underground section is a public square, something which obviously wouldn't have been possible using the same amount of ground area in a traditional design.

with architects constantly battling to design the tallest skyscrapers on earth it's nice to see a building that's been so cleverly designed as to use the earth to intelligently hide it.
