Update!

(15 August) The database should now be fixed, so there are no more stray funny characters... but there may still be glitches. I just discovered that all of the Peanuts puzzles had disappeared, because "artist=peanuts" was not matching "Peanuts"; so there is more to do in sorting out case-insensitive matching.

Database problem!

Apologies! A recent database upgrade has left lots of Japanese text corrupted, and also some variant characters, such as the e-acute in "Pokémon," not showing correctly. I am working to correct this but may take some days...

Southern star atlas

A fantastic scene - the constellations in the sky include not only the stars, but also the characters they were seen to represent in ancient times - yet this is clearly recognisable as a view of the waterfront at Mykonos in the Greek islands.

Moselle vineyards

Moselle vineyards

An evocative summer view of middle Europe: the hillside covered with grape vines, the sleepy town watching the river go by. "Moselle" is the French form of the name by which the river is usually known in English, but it flows through eastern France, Luxembourg and Germany to join the Rhine at Coblenz. So this view might in any of these countries, since the architecture is typical of the region as a whole.
