Photographer Dives Into Crashing Waves To Capture Their Raw Power From Within
The sea is a captivating subject for artists because of its inconceivable size and raw power. Clark Little, a surfer and photographer based in Hawaii, loves to get up close and personal with the sea and its power, taking breathtakingly beautiful photos from within powerful waves.
The surfer discovered his passion for wave photography after his wife expressed her interest in having a wave photo for the house and brought one home. “Honey, don’t buy that picture,” says Little, remembering the day. “I can go out and shoot one, I’ll get a camera and I’ll do it.”
“I like the power, I like the thunder, the sound, the feeling of that wave coming over and crunching, and being right in the heart of it,” gushes Little. The waves he shoots are dangerous, extending up to 15 feet in height, but his love of the water keeps him coming back for more. Take a look at what he’s seen!
30 Magical Photos Of Children Playing Around The World
710K views
No matter their cultural background, no matter their economic situation, kids will always find imaginative ways to have fun. Their wild imaginations and magical childhood moments, when captured on camera by talented photographers, can make for truly wonderful photos. These 33 images we collected will prove that childhood can be wonderful no matter where you go.
Many in the Western world fear that technology is making today’s children lose touch with nature and with their own creativity, and while there are arguments to be made for the intellectual stimulation that apps and programs for children can bring, there’s also something to be said for simply playing with a stick in the mud or chasing dandelion seeds though an open meadow.
For better or worse, the children in these photos seem entirely content making their own fun. For us adults, it’s important not to let our world-weary and jaded experience stifle our childish hopefulness and imagination!

This Suspended Tent Lets You Sleep In The Trees
This isn’t some surreal work of art or alien structure – it’s a tent! The Tentsile, a portable suspended tent (Tent? Treehouse? Hammock?) created by UK-based inventor Alex Shirley-Smith, solves the problem of setting up camp on rocky, muddy, or otherwise unpleasant surfaces by hanging from the trees.
In addition to avoiding unpleasant conditions, the treehouse tent also avoids ground-based bugs, snakes, and other larger and more dangerous creatures. And it helps people enjoy the wonder of hanging out in trees; “Maybe by encouraging others to enjoy this, we might think twice about cutting them down,” writes Shirley-Smith.
The Tentsile was envisioned by Shirley-Smith in 2010, and the first production model was launched in early 2013. In April of this year, the company unveiled smaller, more light-weight models as well. These tents can also be deployed on the ground if there are no trees to be found.
There’s A Mystical Forest In Belgium All Carpeted With Bluebell Flowers
Believe it or not, the
mystical and fairy tale-like forest portrayed in these beautiful photos
actually exists – it’s called Hallerbos (or Halle Forest in Dutch), and
it’s located in Belgium.
The reason this forest looks like it’s
been lifted right out of a fairytale is its dense carpet of bluebell
flowers. These flowers thrive and bloom in spring and early summer, and
it is their characteristic explosion of blue and violet that gives
bluebell forests like this one their name.
The early spring blooms attract visitors
(and photographers) to Hallerbos and to other forests like it in
droves. Foggy conditions are especially good for photographers, giving
the woods a mysterious and ghostly atmosphere. [Read more...]
