Completely Mesmerizing. I love the morphing and the music fits perfectly with the animations.

Giessen Germany

This is a beautiful photograph from the railway in the town where I started my school education

I remember a little about living there, but mostly remember walks with my oma & ompa. I recall one specific occasion when we were walking, I had just gotten my first cane (everyone had one at this point in time) and we stopped at a watering trough where you had to pump the water from a cistern handle to get a drink and some very elderly woman came screaming at us to not touch the water there as it was poisoned.

Ooma was frightened enough that she grabbed my hand and off we went. I was naturally curious, but unafraid as a child but this old woman terrified me. I'll never forget it. Much later in the day we laughed about her being such a horrible person for not just telling us politely, and I got cookies from oompa after we shared the story with him.

It was an incredibly happy time in my life.

I like time lapse photography, but this one really struck me as exceptionally gorgeous.

World Photography Day

World Photography Day originates from the invention of the Daguerreotype, a photographic processes developed by Louis Daguerre.  On January 9, 1839, The French Academy of Sciences announced the daguerreotype process. A few months later, on August 19, 1839, the French government announced the invention as a gift “Free to the World.”

Another photographic processes, the Calotype, was also invented in 1839 by William Fox Talbot (it was announced in 1841). Together, the invention of both the Daguerreotype and Calotype mark 1839 as the year that photography was invented.

World Photography Day


I don't have a single favorite photograph as my tastes in everything are so eclectic that I tend to fall in love with many different things depending on a variety of things going on at a particular moment in my life.

I've always loved photographs using lighting to highlight a particular object or viewpoint, especially if done at night.

They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and this is especially true when I am looking at things, as there are things I find truly inspiring and beautiful or cause incredible emotions that others think are plain, or ordinary or even ugly.

Here are a few that I have been sent.

My Time

Are you afraid of the dark?

I’m in love with the darkness.

It is quiet.

Pure.

Cleansing.

The daylight has been put to bed,

And the night is open for exploration.
