The Citadel Town of Erbil, Iraq via Amusing Planet

At the heart of the city of Erbil, in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, lies an ancient mound of earth some 25 to 30 meters tall from the surrounding plains. On top of this mound lies one of the oldest town in the world. Known as the Citadel of Erbil, this fortified town, measuring a meager 430 by 340 meters and occupying 102,000 square meters in area has been incontinuous occupation since at least the 5th millennium BC, and possibly earlier. The imposing yellow-ochre color structure with a solid perimeter wall is one of the most dramatic visual experiences in the Middle East.

Anderson’s submission won, and it became the internationally recognized recycling logo… he was paid $2,500 for it. Read more here.

crystallizations: Cocteau Twins - Love’s Easy Tears Album Cover, 1986 The last of their independent releases before they signed with Capitol Records. This 4 song EP represents their zenith (IMHO). Perhaps my favorite of all their recordings.
