Incredible!

I've always been amazed at the artists who are able to create such intricate beauty with such a difficult and impermanent medium. To see more examples, click {HERE}.

{CBS Pittsburgh} has some exquisite winter photos posted today, chief of which, is a shot of Niagara Falls, frozen solid.

NOTE: Now, there are many pictures that are purported to be current shots of Niagara, that aren't. And there are many sites dutifully debunking our awe. But if this one is not real, that's on CBS Pittsburgh.

As for me, I believe!

FROM BOING BOING

30 days through Muslim America

 ( A row of ladies get ready for the sunset prayers, Maghrib.)

Bassam Tariq: During Ramadan last year, Aman Ali and I visited 30 mosques in 30 days around New York City. This year, while I was in Pakistan, we decided on a whim to revisit that adventure, but this time, take on the rest of America.

I believe
knowledge and education can combat fear and hatred. 
We don't fear what we know;
we fear the unfamiliar.

As someone who lives in an area

with great diversity of culture, religion, and food,

I believe this photo-journey is definately 

a worthwhile trip.

COOL FIND

I found a website with some amazing pictures, but I can not post any, so I've given you a link. I urge you to go look. It's called FREAKING NEWS, and these are apparently the results of a Photoshop contest. Please, enjoy.
