blue-cloud

In a scene right out of LOST, a strange blue cloud floated around an Ohio gas station for almost 30-minutes before quickly disappearing. Several people reported seeing the image and some believe it was an angel or a ghost.

What the online version of the story is unclear about is whether or not the image appears only in the security video or if the witnesses saw this “cloud” actually floating around the station in person. From reading the story, it sounds like the image only appeared on the camera…meaning it was just a piece of plastic or debris on the camera lens.

This is an image that I found posted over at my [confined] space. I so wish that were a real poster. Not sure who the original author of the image is, since it looks like a Photoshop of the existing posters, blended with a few more images. I do have to agree with one of the comments on the site. Obi-Wan (Alec Guiness) should have been included. Maybe LucasFilm will see it and release something officially. I’ve always been a big Star Wars fan and this is a poster I would buy. Larger sized image at my [confined] space.

Sorry for the site downtime the past two days. Of the many sites hosted on our server, mined decided not to work for a few days. At least nothing was lost (as far as I can tell). It’s too bad, as I had a few items I wanted to post over the past few days and didn’t get to. Oh well, moving right along.

Nick Brandt’s Portrait of a Lion Standing

Definitely go check out the photography work of Nick Brandt. His photographs of African wildlife are some of the most striking photos I think I’ve even seen. Absolutely beautiful stuff. A lot of the photos on the site are available in his 2005 book, On This Earth: Photographs from East Africa. Prints are available for ordering, but I’d be scared to even inquire on the price.

Photo of a Lion by Andrew Zuckerman

While you’re in the animal photography viewing mood, I’d also recommend the photography of Andrew Zuckerman. His newest book Creature, has just been released and it’s equally amazing. This series of photos consists of animals on a stark white background. The results are amazing. The photo of the lion doesn’t even look real, but looking at it closely you can see the texture of the lion’s fur. You can see more examples of his work at CreatureBook.com.
