Clockwise from upper left: A light-brown Swiss calf in Pennsylvania, a black-headed gull in France, an Egyptian goose in England, The outer perimeter of the Tower of London, sheep under a tree in Wales, cows under another tree in Wales (it's been hot), egrets flying around in grass, Sweet William in the overgrown flower bed in fron of the Post Office, and a large ant on a pink peony bud (they like the sticky nectar).

ALT Consuming We may believe we are caterpillars: consuming for an unknown but instinctively believed greater good. Yet the danger here is taking the branch to a squidgy toothpaste-grave, the issue of unsought angel wings, and having everything once clung onto prised away and left cruelly suddenly far behind. Julian Cason

ALT Miserable-looking man in robe and sandals on an impossible staircase in a building that looks like Escher had a nightmare after eating pepperoni pizza. (Ungainly montage made by writer.)

ALT Mysterious landscape photo: a giant sky with towering which clouds over a hilly landscape ringing a large lake, seen from the opposite shore with a fringe of trees and reeds. If you recognise where the ghost took this photo, please let us know. We'll tell Galaxy Babe when she gets back from Norway with more pictures.

ALT Saint Scholastica on a sofa cushion. She's Benedict's sister, and shows up in one of our stories because Late Roman saints are also post-apocalyptic.

ALT This week's title is Mysteries. Clockwise from upper left: The Sherlock Holmes Museum, Marylebone, London; painting of a crow looking investigative; the Face of Zeus on a mountain in Crete; Tower Bridge and traffic on the River Thames; swans swimming and looking deceptively stately and not at all like they would bite you, which they would in a New York minute, even thought they're in Kensington Gardens; a mystery landscape around a lake under spooky clouds, which nobody can remember taking and which the Editor thinks is Loch Ness; London in twilight, with trains looking silver; a Rolls Royce ice cream truck in Kensington Gardens being all posh; and, finally, the sidewalk in front of the Post Office covered with hailstones because it's been that kind of spring around here.

ALT Clockwise from upper left: a very blue crab walking, some horses moving out of the shot in both directions, a perspective shot of three kittens in a living room, surf on rocks, and some spherical houses that look like they're on an alien planet but are really in the Netherlands.
