How cool is this

Old pictures brought to life

Inspired by Shorpy‘s collection of historic photographs, animator Alexey Zakharov created his own steampunk time machine using antique photographs, 3-D software and a touch of computer animation to transport viewers of his short film back to 1930s America. It’s hard to believe this resulting footage came from two-dimensional photographs. Zakharov spent over a year on the project, separating the static parts, such as the famous buildings, from the moving parts, or the people, cars and trains.

Portrais of Nature ... summers end

Summer is winding down
Time to take a hike down familiar trails and enjoy
Gods handiwork as He turns summer int fall

So much beauty
So many thing to see
