cwnl: Lunar Eclipse Over an Indian Peace Pagoda Our Moon turned red last week. The reason was that during December 10, a total lunar eclipse occurred. The above digitally superimposed image mosaic captured the Moon many times during the eclipse, from before the Moon entered Earth’s shadow until after the Moon exited. The image sequence was recorded over a Shanti Stupa Peace Pagota near the center of New Delhi, India, where the eclipse of the Moon was nearly, but not completely, total. The red tint of the eclipsed Moon was created by sunlight first passing through the Earth’s atmosphere, which preferentially scatters blue light (making the sky blue) but passes and refracts red light, before reflecting back off the Moon. Differing amounts of clouds and volcanic dust in the Earth’s atmosphere make each lunar eclipse appear differently. The next total lunar eclipse will occur only in 2014.

geologise: La Brea Tar Pits (by Hollywood History Tours) The La Brea Tar Pits are LA’s direct link to prehistory—natural asphalt seeps that trapped unsuspecting prehistoric animals, creating a huge treasure trove of fossils dating back to the last ice age.

cwnl: Elakala Falls The photo above shows beautiful Elakala Falls at Blackwater State Park near Davis, West Virginia. These falls form as Shay’s Run plunges down a mountain ravine into the Blackwater River canyon. This view is of the first, and most widely visited, of a series of four cascades that make up Elakala Falls. It drops 35 ft (11 m) over a ledge composed of Carboniferous sandstone. Downstream, the resulting current and orientation of rock outcrops creates a whirlpool which is quite pronounced here because of the photo’s long exposure time. Photo taken in June 2009.

Cecropia by Christian Schoeler Maldonado

About the project:

“Unless you clearly see that ugliness Which makes me beatiful, You cannot know that there is a certain Ugliness more beautiful than any beauty. -  Il Vertunno dell’ Arcimboldo Don Gregorio Camanini Milano, 1591.”

Inspired by the work of Arcimboldo in the 16th century, this project became an investigation on the relativeness of the beauty. Each photograph shows one individual leaf from the Cecropia tree after one month of it’s fall. They are naturally transformed into organic shapes and sometimes into weird faces and masks or even human figures. Captured in the way they were at the moment, but carefully positioned and lightened to better show it’s individual character.
