The sky is the abstract and uniform canvas of our world. Depending on the perspective, this canvas can be a source of inspiration or a monotonous background. As a photographer, it is very difficult to break the uniformity of the sky to make it extraordinary. Clouds is an important element to make a sky interesting and beautiful. This is why I gathered the most stunning photos of clouds I could found on the internet:

Our planet has a huge number of surreal places and natural sceneries with beautiful waterfalls, forests and mountains. However, in this article, I wanted to gather more mysterious landscapes. I think that some of the most beautiful places on earth can be found right under our feet. Futhermore, caves are beautiful spots where darkness meets the light coming from the surface. Photography in caves is thus contrasted and unique. Here is a round up of the most stunning caves in the world, I hope these pictures will leave you breathless.
The Reed Flute cave is a popular tourist attraction in Guilin, China. Inside this water-eroded cave is a spectacular world of various stalactites, stone pillars and rock formations created by carbonate deposition. The multicolored lightning artificially illuminates this natural limestone cave. According to TravelChinaGuide, it has been Guilin’s most interesting attractions for hundred of years.

Olivia was born 22 years ago in the woods of Johnstown, Pennsylvania and currently resides in Manhattan. In her “I Fought The Law” series, she showcases the most bewildering laws! It is an aesthetics and fun way to criticize a rusty judicial system.
Each photo violates intentionally some absurd U.S. State law that are partly still on the statute books. Most of the laws are outdated or bizarrely specific. She says: “Using early pop art as inspiration, I intend to defy rules and regulations across all the remaining US states.” You can discover all her projects on her blog: Olivia Locher.

Jessica Trinh is a 18-year old photographer based in South California. She made the following collection of her two dogs: a Golden Retriever named Chuppy and an Australian Shepherd named Daisy. Her target is to show how pet dogs fill very quickly their place in our hearts. Even though we enjoy having our dog pictures framed on our desk, most portraits of dogs are alike and are therefore less interesting. This is a collection of creative and inpsirational dog photographs, each portraits makes you look at pet dogs differently. I think that the most interesting aspect about these images is the relationship between Jessica and her dogs. What do you think about it?

Eyes are the mirrors of heart and can be a great source of inspiration. Even though it seems simple, eyes photography is not an easy task.

There’s a certain kind of mystery that tickles our curiosity concerning an abandoned city. How has it deteriorated? Why? These places inspire us, they are like windows through time that tell us an ancient story. There are probably more abandoned cities than you’d think, here is a round-up of the most mysterious abandoned cities I could find.
The city of Gary, Indiana was founded as a booming steel city as the twentieth century passed. The population of Gary is 80,290, making it the ninth-largest city in the state of Indiana. Gary’s population has fallen by 55 percent from a peak of 178,320 in 1960. The population has risen and fallen with the state of the steel industry, leaving abandoned buildings in the city.
This church is both beautiful and in pitiful state. Because of one of the highest crime rate of Indiana, it was closed in the 1970s and has been vacant ever since.
