Day 3 - Dali Atomicus

Not being an art history major, this was only a recent find, but it is one of the more fun photographs I've seen: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Salvador_Dali_A_(Dali_Atomicus)_09633u.jpg

The photographer, Philippe Halsman, noted that it took 28 attempts to get the best combination of throwing 3 cats through the air, a bucket of water, and Dali jumping. What an excellent use of an afternoon.
