Look Up

I was looking through some pictures and noticed that I've taken some shots while looking up.  I didn't have a lot to say today so I thought I'd share some photographs instead. They're all over here in case you want to look at some more.  Maybe I'll do a series for Look Down too.

The New York Time Lens Blog

I've been getting a lot of news and information from the various blogs that the New York Times offers. Often, the writing is some of the best and the writers (especially the tech and sports writers) use the forum to work out stories. One of the most beautiful blogs is the Lens blog (http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com).

Today they've showcased what people do to their bodies in pursuit of beauty (or at least the image they want in their head). Some of the pictures highlight transformations that are stunning, others that are heartbreaking. Either way, the photographs highlighted today each tell their own story and are beautiful.

Japanese Ghost Towns

A while back my wife shared pictures she found from abandoned mental asylums and it was pretty cool. Today, I found an article highlighting ten Japanese Ghost towns. These look like the end of the world. Everything from abandoned mines, hospitals, bowling alleys and theme parks (including Russian Village). The images are stunning.
