This place is so atmospheric - it feels like from fantasy movie more than reality, the rustic feel gives idea that the place was  abandoned for years, but still looking nice and cozy, and that terrace!

Unfortunately i don´t know anything more about the house that it is supposed to be in France, it would be nice to know who lives there, from some photos I would  bet on some artist, painter maybe, the place is so meditative and inspirational, great place for a studio!

I think quotes have a powerful way of conveying an attitude to you which sometimes resonates so much that you feel ‘chills’ inside. Here’s a list of the quotes which have given me the most of these “chills”. Enjoy!
  1. Some people die at 25 and aren’t buried until 75. —Benjamin Franklin
  2. Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions. Their lives a mimicry. Their passions a quotation. — Oscar Wilde
  3. Two possibilities exist: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying. —Arthur C. Clark
  4.  Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. — Albert Einstein
  5. Of all sad words of mouth or pen, the saddest are these: it might have been. — John Greenleaf Whittier
  6. I fear not the man who has practised 10,000 kicks, but I do fear the man who has practised one kick 10,000 times. Bruce Lee
  7. And when you gaze long enough into the abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you. — Friedrich Nietzsche
  8. Don’t let schooling interfere with your education-Mark Twain
  9. A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on. — John F. Kennedy
  10. It is no measure of health to be well—adjusted to a profoundly sick society. — Jiddu Krisnamurti
  11. Every man dies, but not every man truly lives. — William Wallace
  12. Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. — Plato
  13. Some cause happiness wherever they go, others whenever they go. ― Oscar Wilde
  14. Have I not destroyed my enemy when I have made him into my friend? — Abraham Lincoln
  15. To love is to recognize yourself in another. – Eckhart Tolle
  16. Prejudices are rarely overcome by argument; not being founded in reason they cannot be destroyed by logic. — Tryon Edwards
  17.  If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea. —Antoine de Saint—Exupery
  18. They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. — Benjamin Franklin
  19. Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realize we cannot eat money. — Indian Proverb
  20. And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair. –Kahlil Gibran
  21. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive, with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell and when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough. – William Saroyan
  22. When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. ― John Lennon
  23. Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid. ― Albert Einstein
  24. As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world – that is the myth of the atomic age – as in being able to remake ourselves. ― Mahatma Gandhi
  25. The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed. — Ernest Hemingway
  26. In a closed society where everybody’s guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity. ― Hunter S. Thompson
  27. Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. ― Dwight D. Eisenhower
  28. Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. – Lao Tzu
  29. Dalai Llama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, said: “ Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”
  30. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t need. We’re the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War’s a spiritual war… our Great Depression is our lives. We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won’t. And we’re slowly learning that fact. And we’re very, very pissed off ― Chuck Palahniuk
  31.  The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost invariably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And if he is not romantic personally, he is apt to spread discontent among those who are. ― HL Mencken

Ritesh has been photographing for about four years now and his photographic interests have varied from nature and landscapes to street photography. You can see his photography on Flickr.
Artists around the world have long been inspired by the works of Old Masters like Rembrandt, Raphael and Vermeer. Emulating their style has never been easy, especially in photography. When Australian photographer Bill Gekas wanted to recreate the style through his photographs, he chose to feature his five-year-old daughter as the subject.
These images of his daughter, named Athena, take you a couple of centuries back in time. Careful planning goes into each photograph with utmost attention to the details like costume, props, and the lighting so as to remain faithful to the style and the era. Bill deserves appreciation not just for the idea and its flawless execution but also for the excellent post processing work that creates magical artwork. Athena deserves as much appreciation for being an adorable subject who poses beautifully in each of the images.
Here is some of their work. Sit back, enjoy the wonderful photos, and smile. (All images © Bill Gekas Photography)

Αυτές οι φωτογραφίες τραβήχτηκαν στο παρά πέντε!! Η 4η και η 10η κρίθηκαν ΚΥΡΙΟΛΕΚΤΙΚΑ στο δευτερόλεπτο!

Είναι ορισμένες φορές που τοκλικ της μηχανής απαθανατίζει παράξενες εικόνες που μοιάζουν σαν σκηνές εκ των προτέρων στημένες.


Κι όμως είναι αυτή η τύχη του φωτογράφου, επαγγελματία και μη, που βοηθά σε κάποιες περιπτώσεις να δημιουργηθεί αυτό το ζευγάρωμα που κερδίζει τις εντυπώσεις.

Μάλιστα είναι τόσο ταιριασμένες οι πόζες, τα αντικείμενα αλλά και οι πρωταγωνιστές των φωτογραφιών που μπορεί εύκολα κάποιος να πιστέψει πως είναι επεξεργασμένες. Κι όμως είναι πέρα για πέρα αληθινές με τη βοήθεια της τύχης και της... καλής στιγμής!

I think these photographs of reclaimed cars are simply brilliant. But you know what I love even more, it's the fact that photographer Peter Lippmann accidentally found them.
"I found them while looking for a location for a fashion accessory shoot for Marie Claire Magazine. They screamed at me, the second I saw them, to do a personal series," says Lippmann of his discovery. And we are sure glad he did.
