Blue And Copper Egg
The first painted eggs came from Mesopotamia, and because eggs were forbidden food during Lent, people painted eggs while Lent was being observed—after Lent, they would eat the eggs on Easter Day.

Beautifully decorated eggs “pysanka” are associated with Ukraine, and the oldest painted egg that was unearthed in northern Ukraine is dated to the end of the 17th century.

@ Abstract Neon Waves
I called an old school friend and asked what he was doing now.
He replied that he was currently working on aqua-thermal treatment on ceramics, aluminium and steel under a constrained environment.
I was impressed...
On further enquiry, I learnt that he was washing dishes with hot water under his wife's supervision.

@ Surreal Swirls
Lasers have featured in many films and popular culture as their use has become more widespread. One of the first, and most famous, examples was in the 1964 James Bond film Goldfinger where the eponymous spy was threatened with being cut in half by one.

Charmaine and Luna shook paws, said “How do you do?” and posed for a souvenir photo. “Why am I always on the left?” grumbled Charmaine. “Let’s change sides.”
“No,” said Luna. “This is my best side.”

Futuristic Sunrise in Pink and Purple
It's like living in a computer-generated world where the sun when it rises is dusky pink and the ground is a grid of neon purple lines, which stretches out endlessly towards the horizon.

@ Neon Bulb in Blue
"Oh, Charmaine! You know that dark grey you see as soon as you turn off the lights—just before complete darkness takes over or your eyes adjust to the lack of light?" asked Minnie the Moo-cher.
"Er—no, but yes?"
"It has a name! It's known as 'Eigengrau'. It's a German word meaning 'intrinsic grey'".
"Wow!"

Abstract Geometric Grid Picture
Is it a disco floor? Or the scene of an interactive futuristic game, with its neon lines, abstract sun in pink and blue, and the geometric palm trees lining the path with spiky mountains in the background?

@ Neon Spin
Green (diode) laser pointers are actually infrared lasers which then pass through a frequency doubler which does exactly what it says on the tin: it doubles the frequency of the infrared radiation, turning it into green light.

@ Neon Leaves In Blue and Purple
Why did the cat cross the road?
The chicken on the other side had a laser pointer.

@ Flaring Neon Lightbulb
The first laser was actually a MASER. A MASER, which stands for Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, is essentially like a laser but light given off isn't visible light -- instead it's microwave radiation. The first maser was discovered by Townes, Basov and Prochorov who won the Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1964. The first maser was built at Columbia University.

“Oh hello, Charmaine!” cried Banaring. “Didn’t we bump into each other in Ghent a couple of weeks ago? This is quite the change of scene, isn't it!”
”It certainly is!” declared Charmaine.

@ Digital Design in Blue
Lasers can be used as spectrometers which are devices that use light to determine the specific chemical components in different types of matter. When laser light passes through a gas made from matter it reflects certain colors in specific wavelengths that are then studied to identify the different elements that are present in it.
