Incredible Photos from around the World Reveal the Majestic Beauty of colors left by Fiery Trails in the Sky

The stunning images of Photographer Lincoln Harris bring a completely new appreciation for the night sky to capture the colors and movement of stars. His wide range of bright colors, including yellows, blue, pink, turquoises, and oranges can all be seen illuminating the dark sky in locations around the world. We’re sure; you’d like the special effort of Lincoln Harris, which’ve used the colors of different surface temperatures of the stars with cooler stars appearing redder and hotter stars being blue. He used two dissimilar techniques to capture the stars in two ways with some photos looking like a celestial explosion while the others look like a colorful pinwheel. Both of images types are achieved by turning the zoom ring on the lens during the exposure. 

The 40 years photographer said; the exploding photographs are done with a 30 second exposure with a fast zoom, and the spirals are taken over a few hours with a very slow zoom. Because, i set up the camera and use a programmable remote to automate the shoot, and it will usually take between 600 and 1,200 x 40 second exposures, which are later stacked using Photoshop. The stunning colored trails are due to the diverse surface temperatures of the stars. The colors pallet can also be changed by altering the white balance of the camera. These photographs were taken in several locations in Australia and USA, including Yosemite National Park, California, USA, Lake Tahoe, Nevada, USA and Cape Woomalai, Phillip Island, Australia and Sutton Grange, Victoria, Australia. He said; by capturing unbelievable photos with just his camera, a zoom lens - and a lot of patience. I usually have a pretty neat idea of what I'll end up with when I start shooting the sky. You know, I travel to the locations to take the photographs, and I stay as long as I need to until I get the shot I want. To be very honest, I usually get quite bored waiting for them to finish.

Couple Quit Their Jobs, to build a Tiny House to travel around wonderful North America

It is somewhere two years ago, when my partner, Guillaume, and I were both burdened by high rent, a multitude of belongings, college debt and careers that let us to maintain that lifestyle. At the start, I was believed I’d never be able to pursue my passion for writing and Guillaume felt the same way about his photography. One day, we’ve picked up a novel idea of we came across tiny houses. This is beautifully artistically designed tiny dwellings stimulated us to spend our lives and pursue our dreams. We came up with a unique plan of to build a tiny home, and then travel around North America for one year. We’d really like to create a travel journalism portfolio about alternative lifestyles. He’d photograph. I’d write.

We originated our tiny house build with zero construction experience and it is all about of experience we’ve gotten through. We’ve adopted the policy of we’ll learn as we go” attitude and we didn’t realize was that we weren’t just building a home; we were also stimulating ourselves to reconsideration the idea of “home” altogether. After dozens of errors, hard life lessons and a brutal downsize, we hit the road with our one-of-a-kind tiny house on wheels!

Therefore after a painstaking six months and 10,000 miles later, our tiny abode has taken us on a real wild adventure. You know, along the way, we’ve met many like-minded people who build and reside in insignificant structures such as: tiny homes, tree houses, yurts, homemade house boats, etc. Guillaume photos and these alternative lifestyle pioneers in their innovative dwellings, while I write down their stories.

Dragon Lizard Captured looks like Playing with Leaf Guitar in Indonesia



Aditya Permana, a professional photographer in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, in recent times captured this once-in-a-lifetime photograph of a forest dragon lizard that looks like it’s playing a guitar!  Aditya says; he insisted that he did not manipulate the lizard, that he “did not straight photograph the lizard at first, until the lizards feel tranquil and comfortable around me. I noticed it looked like it was playing a guitar and it didn’t move at all. I’d be thinking that such type of opportunity is to take incredible photos a life time chance. Normally wildlife photographer cares not to disturb nature, and they’re very commonly make picture of sensitive animals. Ethic is a part of nature photography.

Bring Your Walls to Life with This Plant Wall Trophy



Having in mind all the wonderful, countless things human fantasy has created; I’m sure you’d be wondered why would people desire to adorn their walls with dead animal’s heads? Well, this seems an incredible idea to turn plants into vegan wall mounts with this spectacular design, superbly formed by a team of Italian designers and inspired by the Japanese flower arrangement “ikebana.” Which is referred to as “Living Flowers” is an ancient Japanese art of harmonious flower arrangement. 

However, it is just like re-known practice of bonsai, “ikebana” has its traditional rules and spiritual aspects as well. By now, different styles have evolved from the first traditional arrangement, and the practice has become more flexible. Although this flexibility of styles inspired Fabio Milito & Paula Studio to create the interchangeable Elkebana wall mount. Elkebana is the first trophy for plant lovers. You just need flowers and imagination.”- Fabio Milito, the designer, writes on his website. 

Perhaps few peoples criticizing this idea and even the word "adorn" is not even befitting for this. It would not be beautiful, for the memory of an innocent being's forced, violent death, cannot be beautiful for me. If you want so much such an "ornament" there’re statues which imitate real animals in a perfect way and would be far better option to complete your rustic styled home. About these criticism they’re pretty indeed, a nice idea to be cherished.

Weasels Magical Ride on Woodpecker’s Back



In the first look, this seems like a fantastic animal rendition of Jasmine’s magic carpet ride from Disney’s classic Aladdin, the photo is real and the truth behind it is somewhat more sinister. Martin Le-May, a hobby photographer in East London capture these photographs, when a baby Weasel takes a magical ride on woodpecker’s back fighting for their lives over Hornchurch Country Park.

Le-May says; he was walking in the park with his wife when they heard, and then saw, the fight unfold. When the bird flew right across them, they could see it had a small mammal on its back and that’s when he snapped these pictures. Normally weasels love to rob nests, but this one was perhaps after the woodpecker itself. In any case, he seems to have been foiled for now. The woodpecker left with its life. The weasel just disappeared into the long grass, hungry. 

The event's not as lovely as it seems but what a great photographic moment and capture, for a brief moment I thought the woodpecker had offered a lift to the baby weasel out of love a bit disappointed. Therefore what a photographic moment! You were at the right time, and the right place. I really recommend you enter it in a photo contest. This is one of a kind!
