Serenity and The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

If you recognise a reference to a work of art without actually knowing the work in question, then it has truly become part of (popular) culture.
( Spoilers )

Oh, and a quote from the popular culture section of the wikipedia article on the Ancient Mariner:
"The major themes of this epic poem are weaved throughout the film Serenity (2005) by Joss Whedon. Although never mentioned by name, the significance of the albatross is described by the main character Malcolm Reynolds."

Not Berlin.

Before I pack up my stuff to go away for the weekend, I'll leave you with a bit of picspam - photos taken during a short walk in my neighbourhood - mostly street art.
