Take a look at this six-month exposure of the path of the sun.
The spectacular picture is a six-month image showing the summer solstice on the top and the winter on the bottom. Apparently, "the pinhole image 'burns' itself into the paper over the six months of exposure time meaning you don't need to develop the photographic paper."
Yesterday, my daughter and I visited the Saint Louis Zoo. The idea was to have some fun shooting photos of the animals. The day was overcast and cool and many of the animals were active. I shot each of these photos using a Canon S95 pocket camera. Gallery of ten photos below (hit "full size image" for correct aspect ratio). [gallery]
Oscar Peterson, now deceased, was one of my favorite jazz musicians. Here is his rendition of a Christmas favorite:
I happened to listen to a few tunes by Nightnoise tonight. If you haven't heard them before, click on the videos. They were a group of Irish musicians who blended Irish traditional music, jazz, new age and many other ideas. Although the audio is not great in the following video, you can see the group in action, playing a tune titled "Time Winds." One of their most beautiful tunes is "Night in that Land, and you can listen to a good quality recording here. And since it's the Christmas season, consider this rendition of "The Wexford Carol." And for something very different, check out "Fionnghuala" (Mouth music). Finally, take a listen to "Silky Flanks" for some high energy that melds into yet another beautiful tune. Here is more on the history of the group, which is no longer performing. Two of the members of the group died over the past 10 years. Nonetheless, I find this music extraordinary and timeless.
This is clearly a fake, but I say that because the bus behavior was bizarre. Many of those commenting at YouTube claim that they can see the fakery in the video itself. I thought it looked real.
