Boneman / Orchestra
There’s a bone man conducting the orchestra,Waving his bone baton,A dowel of ulna from a long dead composer,In the hand of this relic of the Italian Lully.He swings his wand,In a time signature replete with evil portent,Driving the deranged orchestra,Full of dementia and mayhem,To a score written,By the devil himself.The orchestra plays,They blow and they…

Abandoned Coal Mine / Processing Facility

It’s probably…

Incredible macro photography from Nadav Bagim, of Israel. He sets up miniature scenes on his kitchen table, adds an insect or two, and the results are nothing less than fantastic. The color that he manages to bring out in his photos is amazing in it’s own right, but add that to the nature of each…

Ft. Fisher, NC – Rocks and Sky
Here I stand,Once again,On my tiny speck of dust.Peering out of the blackness,Looking at the lights,With a heart full of wonder.And just for an instant,I perceive the Cosmos,And I blow the stars awayLike dandelion seeds.
