Valentine's day roundup: best pics of the day



Hope everyone out there has a love bird they can tweet really well! (sorry).


Sacred Love Versus Profane Love, Giovanni Baglione, 1602-1603. 
I know which one I prefer...


Here's hoping we all inspire a few impure thoughts...


Just an idea, for the brave lovers amongst us.


A little too cute?

Something more macabre:



Lovers of Valdaro

The so-called Lovers of Valdaro, also dubbed as the "Valdaro Lovers," are a pair of human skeletons discovered by archaeologists at a Neolithic tomb in S.Giorgio near Mantova, Italy, in 2007. The two skeletons appear to have died or were interred facing each other with arms around each other, thus reminiscent of a "lovers' embrace".

Archaeologist Elena Maria Menotti led the excavation. Scientists believe that the pair is a man and woman no older than 20 years old and approximately 5'2" in height. They were removed from the ground intact and sent to Musei Civici in Como where they are undergoing analysis.


Movie love could be never-ending literally... for this blog so I've confined myself to one of my favourites:




From the marvellous Goblin Market.

Have a great Valentine's Day...
