Breathtaking visuals have always caused relief from stress. What I love about images is that they bring you to places you have never been to, to meet people or things or be present in events you might not really get the chance to encounter. I've been checking out Time magazine's website for Pictures of the Week and National Geographic's site for Photo of the Day. They are interesting images of living and not-so-living things from different poles of the world. Here are some I saw which I'd like to share.
TIGERS PERFORMING IN FUZHOU, CHINA TO WELCOME THE LUNAR YEAR OF THE NEW YEAR (TIME)
What if we skinned such big cats (or are they tigers?)? This one's a picture I could more or less relate to since I've been seeing my Feline friends way too often in the laboratory. Now, all I think about when I look at cats, tigers, whatever, is how their internal organs are arranged, how their mesenteries suspend their viscera and what-not. Okay, enough of this nonsense! Haha.
HAMBURG, 2008 (NAT GEO)
Another interesting picture is this one. It's the Photo of the Day at Nat Geo's site. Look at the frog, he seems so at peace. Makes me think how among all the species of the animal kingdom, it is us who actually love leading complex lives.
ARCTIC FOX ALOPEX LAGOPUS (NAT GEO)
And oh wow, look at this. Isn't he just beautifully fierce? There's a little resemblance between him and my dog Sashi.
Cedar waxwing eating berries (Nat Geo)
Food is really an indulgence for each of us animals, huh?
LOWLAND GORILLAS, BRONX ZOO (NAT GEO)
And this! This is proof that unrequited love exists across species!
King Penguins, Falkland Islands (Nat Geo)
Oh but there's still such a thing as love.
