hometown-unicorn:

My eye caught a dark form lying on the river bottom. It took me a few moments to comprehend what I had stumbled upon. Lying peacefully in the shallow waters of the river, only a few meters from shore, was a full-grown cougar. The contrast between the serenity of the scene I was witnessing and what must have played out here in the cougar’s final moments made me shiver. It was the first shiver of many, as I stripped down and waded out into the icy water to get this shot. x

HOLY HELL WHAT A FIND. This is one of my favorite photos ever now.

call-of-cthulhu:

misssheeva:

“There is no Buddhist god per se. It is the self, the individual mind, that contains immortality and ultimate truth. At least I know where the self is. It’s in our own minds. It’s a form of human energy. Our atoms are six billion years old. We’ve got six billion years of memory in our minds. Memory is energy! It doesn’t disappear – it’s still in there. There’s a physiological pathway to our earlier consciousnesses. There has to be. And I’m telling you, it’s in the god-damned limbic system…. I’m a man in search of his true self. How archetypically American can you get? Everybody’s looking for their true selves. We’re all trying to fulfill ourselves, understand ourselves, get in touch with ourselves, face the reality of ourselves, explore ourselves, expand ourselves. Ever since we dispensed with God, we’ve got nothing but ourselves to explain this meaningless horror of life….Well, I think that that true self, that original self, that first self is a real, mensurate, quantifiable thing, tangible and incarnate. And I’m going to find the fucker.”

Actually, the photographs are spaced ten years apart, not sixteen.

1912 to 1922.

The young, homeless (but no less dapper) wanderer shown in the first survived the sinking of the Titanic and swam to the shores of West Egg. There he built a life and a large, empty house, in an effort to win the heart of the wealthy, upper class woman he’d fallen in love with a decade earlier and had been separated from against his will.

He shed his earlier identity, and changed his name to reflect his new station. Jack was now known as Jay Gatsby, the eccentric millionaire who threw parties every night in the hopes that one day his love would show up and spin with him as they had long ago in the dance hall of the lower decks.

#and he still ends up dead floating in the water

holy shit

And then, at the beginning of Inception, he starts out washed up on a shore.

still no oscar

Respect and love to this man. One of the finest commanders the ISS has seen and which we’ve all shared in his journey. Thank you, Sir Chris Hadfield, for your amazing photography and continual public outreach for the scientific community. Humanity (and Canada) salute you.

The Potoo - Either the most unphotogenic or the most ridiculous looking bird in the world.

If I ever became Ruler of my own land and people, this would be our National Bird.

Seriously.

Our flag would be the second photo here, where it’s looking all pleased with itself.

A drying press

Power didn't work.

An out out-house or something. This Base if almost 6km in diameter, and full of abandoned structures.

What is left of some curtains clings to the window frame after 20 years.

We have a saucepan exactly the same!! A hand-me-down from Basti's Grandma :) In the DDR, there wasn't much choice of what you could buy, so almost everyone had identical appliances.

An old heating oven.

This building was compleatly caved in, and half burned, but I spoted this sign in the rubble. I think I gave Basti a heart attack climbing up on some old beams to take this photo ;)

—Part One—

An abandoned Russian Army base and Nuclear missile launching site in Brandenburg, Germany. We only got to explore about 1/5 of the total area, but we will be going back soon to take more photos!

This base covers almost 6km and has countless buildings spread throughout, including a gym, theatre, school, shop, bunkers, a underground missile launch site, offices and workshops, sleeping quarters to house 10,000 Red Army officers and their families, not to mention old remnants of everyday life.
All abandoned and left to rot in the middle of a German forest for over 20 years, after the fall of the Iron Curtain.

cailleboat:

This series is based on the drawings made by snails on the wet sand in the intertidal zone. They are part of an ongoing series of works involving collaboration between the snails and me. I choreograph the snails’ starting positions, and then photograph the marks they make over time.

I tend to think of the snail pieces as a metaphor for the order we establish in our lives, and how the element of chance enters in to shape the result -regardless of how much we attempt to structure it. - Daniel Renalli, on Snail Drawings Series (1995-Present)
