Photo of the Day: Spider Web

You know what’s better than surfing the online web (and it’s hard to believe that something out there is)?  For a shutterbug like me, it’s catching a picture of a real, live, spider web.  They’re rather elusive phenomenons and aren’t keen on being caught on film.

The Timelapse Tales – Aurora in the Alberta Sky

The northern lights is a mystical phenomenon. Sweeping through the skies of the open grasslands, the aurora fascinates us beyond their formation in atmosphere. The alluring image is what makes this Albertan brillance especially perfect to share with you – Credits to Infocus Imagery Inc. and rewind through my timelapse series here. =)

Zombie Apocalypse!?!?

If you watched Brad Pitt’s latest blockbuster movie World War Z, then maybe you would remember that the zombie pandemic originated with a rabies-like case along with a breakout with rabies in Taiwan.

Supernatural Showdown: Sam VS Dean

My new obsession is Supernatural, a science fiction TV show about two very different brothers who hunt demons (werewolves, vampires etc.). I know it sounds like everything else that is out right now, but trust me, it’s not.

Why do people read manga and watch anime?

What is so good about manga and anime? Why do we read it? Why do we watch it? At first glance it seems like an over the top comic book with completely unrealistic characters but once you read a really good manga for the first time, you’ll find yourself hooked in the masterful creations of…
