Hubble pictures

These pictures really blow my mind! I was thinking today about the evolution of painting after the invention of the camera. And how now, some painters are so realistic that their pieces look like photographs, and some photographers try to be "painterly." These photos look very painterly to me, although I'm not sure if I could give a definition of what that means exactly. I love the colors and the overwhelming sense of mystery.  I imagine these leave almost everyone in awe after they see them for the first time.
