Denver Circle at Night
A long exposure at night creates a beautiful image of curving bright lights captured in motion as they pass here in Denver, Colorado.

White Daisy Egg
My pets are in awe of these beautiful eggs—they would love to try to paint their own one year. Easter and spring are times of joy as the earth awakens, plants are pushing forth from the soil, and the days are becoming warmer. Many baby animals are born in the spring, and life is burgeoning. May these eggs bring you joy and be a reminder of the earth renewing itself.

@ Abstract Neon Waves
"Oh, Koffee! 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 Bear.
"Er—no, but yes?"
"It has a name! It's known as 'Eigengrau'. It's a German word meaning 'intrinsic grey'".
"Wow!"

@ Fishtank in Neon
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.

@ Surreal Swirls
Laser measuring is accurate to more than a nanometer, which is a billionth of a meter.

@ Neon Tube Installation
“If there's time at the end when we get back tonight, I might do some initial sketches for a painting in neon," BOB said, offering Koffee a toffee from the bag and then unwrapping one for itself.
“That sounds like a good plan, BOB!" said Koffee. "Have you got bright enough colours?"

@ Glitch Art in Teal
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.

@ Abstract Neon Lines
The light in a laser is more parallel than any other light source; every part of the beam has almost the exact direction.

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.

@ Futuristic Sunrise in Pink and Purple
The strength of early lasers was measured in “gillettes”, which are the number of razor blades a beam is capable of breaking through.

@ Neon Rain
LASER is actually an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.

@ Delicate Rose Pink Bokeh
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.

"Oh, Koffee! 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 BLUEY.
"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
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.

@ Neon Flower Design
Einstein had a role in the discovery of the laser. If it wasn’t for his theory of stimulated emission masers (which were used in atomic clocks) we wouldn’t have lasers today.
