Photographer Vyacheslav Mishchenko showed that we are almost indistinguishable from the snails. "As a child, my father taught me to collect mushrooms and we are always faced with a variety of insects. As I got older, I grew an interest in photography, and I decided to catch these magical scene on camera". Except for the frame and picture complement good byline. For him snails - akin to people. They also know how to love, to empathize and to fight for their right to live.

Nature is beautiful, but there is nothing more magical than being under the trees as a living tunnel. Whether it formed naturally or with a little help of talented gardeners corridor of trees will enchant everyone lucky enough to walk under its green branches.
Mysterious tunnel from Northern Ireland as if descended from the cover of an old book. James Stewart beeches planted back in the 18th century to impress your guests at the entrance to his house Greyskhil.
International Women's Day unfairly overshadowed in the news reports about Paralympic competitions. But it is the athletes who now serve in the winter disciplines demonstrate the incredible power of the spirit of the people do not stop the external circumstances. All these people are beautiful and strong, and we have much to learn from them.
Each of the people in these photographs - the hero, and therefore the most beautiful shots Paralympic Winter Games.
Photographer Jamie Beck and Motion designer Kevin Burg used a relatively new kind of visual art, which they also invented. Image - photos and video, but something in between.
Photos on small changes that pay attention to the details of the viewer, and the main frame remains stationary. In a series of pictures "Looking at New York through my glasses" one can see how bright the world becomes, if you have good points.
If you wear glasses, then you know just how accurate these cinemagraphs are.
But, as soon as the focus movies in front of the glasses, the world becomes crisp.
Using these spectacles in a cinemagraph is a brilliant idea.
When out of frame (literally) the world is a blur.
"The tragedy of old age is not that a person is aging, and that he remains young soul" Oscar Wilde
That's why every year it becomes harder and harder to look at yourself in the mirror and put up with the way your body changes. As it becomes weak and flabby. And in my heart that you are still young and beautiful, full of energy and life goes on.
Photographer Tom Hussey created from Dallas touched a chord with photo series in which older people look at themselves in the mirror and see the reflection of himself in his youth.
It's very simple and .... fleeting, is not it? Once each of us will feel like a hero of such a series.
Photographer sent her kid to the world of sweet childhood dreams
Interestingly, babies have dreams? Mother of three boys Queenie Liao sure see. They dream of a bright colored tales and fascinating journey. When her youngest son sleeps Wengen, the photographer creates from toys, clothes and all that is at hand home decoration to your pictures. The project is called "Wengen in Wonderland" and carries the sleeping baby in his mother invented a fabulous adventure. Similar pictures previously done and the other mother Adele Enersen and her project "While the baby sleeps". But as wonderful and talented as it redone. A fantasy mother is simply amazing.
