 The aging process is ongoing and one we don’t typically notice on a daily basis (see the captivating video at the bottom of the post, it perfectly demonstrates the subtlety of aging). However, when you see childhood photos of your grandparents or parents (or even yourself!), the difference can be startling. In a recent video posted to dovga, we see portraits of elderly people transitioned into photos of their younger self. While many facial characteristics remain recognizable, the aging process is clear. The video featured 10 portraits which were then turned into Internet-friendly animated gifs by gifcraft. While the animated gifs are dramatic, be sure to watch the video at the end to see how subtle the process really is. Everyone gets old; it’s how we live between the ‘then’ and ‘now’ that really matters. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Watch the Subtlety of Aging   |
| Picture of the Day: The Great(ly) Overgrown Wall of China Posted: 09 Oct 2013 02:06 PM PDT  Photograph by TREY RATCLIFF Blog post | on Flickr | Prints available Seen here is a section of the Great Wall of China tourists don’t typically see. as travel photographer Trey Ratcliffrecalls: “Just to get to this point required a long walk through a rocky forest. It wasn’t like the super-pristine part of the Great Wall (which is actually quite fake and Disney-like) — where you can drive up in a huge tour bus and park in a huge parking lot. No, it wasn’t like that at all. Instead, there was a “path” that was barely discernible (much less so when I walked back in the dark alone!) that wove up through a forest along an old creek bed. I’m not sure I could find it again if I had to!” [Source] The Great Wall of China is a series of fortifications made of stone, brick, tamped earth, wood, and other materials. It was generally built along an east-to-west line across the historical northern borders of China. Several walls were being built as early as the 7th century BC. Since then, the Great Wall has been rebuilt, maintained, and enhanced; with the majority of the existing wall reconstructed during the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644). [Source] |
