Has anyone ever considered that maybe we are all part of a complex game being played by an alien species? Consider why various structures appear across the globe such as the pyramids etc. What about the many different examples of advanced technology which ha been discovered being used before by...

You have a fantastic eye, especially for composition, especially with the first photograph. I always carry a Canon SX620 HS permanently attached to my belt. Unfortunately, I am too old to move to using my mobile phone for photography even though one of its selling points is its photographic...

My daughter purchased me 72 premium colored pencils purported to be Castle Art Supplies from the world's largest online shopping port. I don't think I can mention their name but everyone on the planet probably purchases through them. Imagine my disappointment when I opened the tin only to find...

Hi CaliAnn, thank you so much for your reply. The tree is just outside a village in Metheringham, England and was indeed once struck by lightning - you are very perceptive. I watched this tree as it changed over time with one half seeming to recover an thrive whilst the other continues to be...

Any advice or comments are welcome. I find it great for learning to listen to other people's opinions.

Thank you all for the very warm welcome. The picture I put up started life as a straightforward photograph of a metal sculpture that stands on the Riverside in Lincoln England's City centre. The artist gave me permission to use the photographs I took giving me the opportunity to let my...
