Today’s interesting photo has been making its rounds on the internet, and we couldn’t resist giving it a feature. This picture is a hilarious send-up of the all-too-common profile self-portrait, as taken by and of a dog (and a good-looking dog she is, too!). Don’t worry, she got plenty of comments and likes on her […]
It’s a book lover’s dream, or maybe a librarian’s nightmare. Look closely: it’s not a deep well made of bricks, but rather a bottomless pit…of books. But before you get a headache trying to figure out how somebody built that thing, rest assured it is actually the result of a clever bit of visual illusion. […]
There are some moments in life that last only a second, and occasionally such a moment is captured by someone with a camera. This moment shows a girl taking a photo of herself with her phone amongst a crowd of people at a concert. What makes this image so interesting is that everyone else in […]
Ever watch an Arizona storm as it marches across the horizon? The air suddenly shifts, and you can feel the static charge building in the air. Well, that’s just what photographer Dan Ransom captured one summer weekend at the Grand Canyon. In his case, the monsoon touched off a crazy electrical storm that made for […]
Did Russian photographer Vadim Trunov teach these squirrels the finer points of photography? Trunov fed them nuts and lay in the snow for three hours to capture these curious rodents playing with his camera and the tiny snowballs he made for them.

But have you ever seen it plainly and fully admired it as it is? Probably not yet, but take a look at today’s”interesting photo of the day”, as it depicts […]
Stratocumuliform, cirrus, cumulonimbus, altocumulus: what do these strange words all have in common? They’re all used to classify different types of clouds. In this case, the scientific name is actually as cool as the object it describes. Clouds come in all kinds of varieties and it’s what makes many landscape photos dynamic and interesting. Pictured […]
Nakameguro may generally be a quiet residential district in Tokyo, Japan, but when the 800 cherry trees that line the district’s concrete canal, Meguro River, bloom in early April, the blossoms understandably attract hoards of admiring locals and tourists. Even better: for the Nakameguro Sakura Festival, locals light the trees in the evenings, creating a truly magical flower tunnel. […]
Welcome to the future. For the first time in history, scientists at NASA have captured an image of a very important star. And not just any star, the star that makes life on earth possible: the sun. What a glorious thing—in beauty and in what it means for the future of astronomical science: The sun’s […]
Wildlife photographers often put themselves in dangerous situations just to get the right shot. Some go one step further and risk injury for that epic snap.
