Finding Oregon from Uncage the Soul Productions on Vimeo.

"Finding Oregon is the compilation of six months of timelapse photography across the state of Oregon, punctuated by a 1600 mile road trip in September. We've filmed the Columbia River Gorge, Mt Hood, Mt Jefferson, the Southwestern Coast, the Alvord Desert, Leslie Gulch, Blue Mountains, Crater Lake, Eagle Cap Wilderness, Deschutes River, and more. We're proud to have touched all four corners of the state; however Oregon is the kind of place that the more you see, the more places there are to still discover."

Behold Aqueous Fluoreau - Ink, Water, Time, Diffusion, Gravity

"Photographer Mark Mawson has published a wonderful series of fourteen new underwater ink photographs entitled Aqueous Fluoreau. The images are stunning not only for their vibrant colors but their almost sculptural appearance. His previous projects from the same family, Aqueous  and Aqueous II are also incredible and worth your time."      via  Colossal 

"It's entirely conceivable that life's splendor surrounds us all, and always in its complete fullness, accessible but veiled, beneath the surface, invisible, far away. But there it lies—not hostile, not reluctant, not deaf. If we call it by the right word, by the right name, then it comes. This is the essence of magic, which doesn't create but calls."—Kafka

OpenDNS > Phishing Quiz

"As the holiday season kicks into full gear, and online shopping skyrockets, it's more important than ever to stay ahead of online scams. But as technology improves, it's getting more difficult to detect the difference between real websites and scams. That's why we created the OpenDNS Phishing Quiz. Phishing is when cyber criminals try to lure your personal information, like credit card numbers or login credentials, by masquerading as a trusted entity."

Asteroid Vesta in a 'Rainbow-Colored Palette'

"This image using color data obtained by the framing camera aboard NASA's Dawn spacecraft shows Vesta's southern hemisphere in color, centered on the Rheasilvia formation. Rheasilvia is an impact basin measured at about 290 miles (467 kilometers) in diameter with a central mound reaching about 14 miles (23 kilometers) high. The black hole in the middle is data that have been omitted due to the angle between the sun, Vesta and the spacecraft."

Valle de las Animas ~ La Paz, Bolivia

"The Valle de las Animas, or Valley of the Souls is a densely packed forest of rock formations, each stabbing toward the sky in great clusters. Formed out of mudrock and erosion over hundreds of years, the visually-stunning valley has drawn in visitors for thousands of years.

When the first people visited the valley, they believed the spires resembled petrified souls, and gave the area its name. Since that time, a steady stream of hikers have visited the valley to marvel at the thousands of rugged peaks, which form deep gorges and many side passages and sub-valleys. Adding to the mystique and beauty of the site is the 15,000-foot Illimani, Bolivia's highest mountain that towers above the valley in the background."
