More Underwater Nudes From Alberich Mathews

Alberich Mathews "Stellar Bodies" appears to have fallen from the web firmament and his more current site "Valkyries" is under the weather as well, but that's why nerds invented Flickr—so that we never have to worry about being able to enjoy things like photos of topless mermaids and underwater nymphs.

Alberich is currently working on a book about these "Rheinmaidens and Rusalka" (think opera, you philistines) and you can follow the process by watching his Flickr stream, where various water-themed galleries capture diaphanous ladies frolicking in the depths. These ghostly, but beautiful images capture women in ways not usually seen, but have got us thinking very seriously about taking scuba lessons.
