I had never heard of Nicholas Roerich ("a Russian painter, writer, archaeologist, theosophist, enlightener, philosopher, and public figure") before I popped my head into this row house that is "indistinguishable as a museum except for the small sign in front, [and] chock-full of amazing natural scenes from the Himalayas".

There’s a connection between Roerich and H.P. Lovecraft:

Interesting – especially if you’ve read any of Lovecraft’s work
and huge geodes, too.
Thanks for the link to those beautiful slide shows.
