    As the sun rises, the wind blows sand across one of the enormous sand dunes in the Namib desert. The desert is home to some of the tallest dunes on earth, with some soaring over 1,000 feet.

    It was found in Transylvania, hence the nickname. Didn´t suck blood, but it was certainly big enough to eat a full sized human and had bones so robust it was thought to be a dinosaur at first. It belongs to the same family as Quetzalcoatlus and Hatzegopteryx but is said to be a new species, and known from more complete remains (at last!).

    Photographer Angelica Dass, tired of the 'black, white, brown, yellow' descriptions of skin colour, and noticing that children actually used more descriptive and accurate terms like 'peach, chocolate' etc, began a project to match actual skin tones to Pantone colour tones. These are some of the 4000+ photos.
    More here if anybody is interested.
