Images from The Coincidence Project by photographer Denis Cherim – the fruit of many years capturing moments of strange naturally occurring serendipity and unusual juxtapositions.
Photos (most likely of a form of cloud iridescence) featuring an airliner apparently pooting out a spectacular unicorn fart. Taken by Japanese amateur photographer Kagaya.
Sports and commercials photographer Levon Biss takes his cameras to the Oxford University Museum of Natural History where, with the help of a modified microscope, he takes hundreds of pictures of rare insects before combining the images into huge, impossibly detailed composites. To wit:
Microsculpture is a unique visual experience. A 10mm insect is shown as a 3 meter print, revealing minute detail and allowing the viewer to take in the structure of the insect in its entirety. The beautifully lit, high magnification portraiture of Levon Biss captures the microscopic form of these animals in striking high-resolution detail.
Explore the images in detail here.
Biss’s photo-composites go on view at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History later this month.

Yesterday.
Mulranny Beach, Mayo.

Went down for a jog on the beach last evening. Could not believe what I saw. ! Barnacle geese all the way from Greenland. They are born in Greenland and because it’s too cold there ,they come to Ireland for the winter.
On the way ,they stop off in Iceland for refreshments . 2,500 of them winter on Inishkea Islands ( means Goose Islands) just behind Achill’s Slievemore More . These ones came over to Mulranny for a spin. In my second photo, you can see them learning to surf the little waves !!!
