High Speed Photography

Hey you guys!

I hope that all of your days have been going good. Today I thought I'd post some pictures of high speed photography. I can never get bored looking at high speed photography photos because whenever I see them I think of all the things our minds zip trough. We can watch a bullet go through things or a pin burst bubbles but our memory will never be as sharp as these photos.  The cutting quality of each photo captures my attention. My favourite three are probably the paint-ball explosion, the balloons erupting and the bubble popping!

I love popping bubbles too. There's always something about bubbles that makes everyone lively. The sun is shining and the future is bright. Go out and blow some bubbles today. Enjoy yourself.

My Countdown until Eid Al Adha (:

I'm not sure if ya'll have noticed but I put a countdown in my page. This is the countdown until Eid Al Adha. Many of you may not know what that is so I'll you. Eid-ul-Adha means Festival of Sacrifice, and it is also known as the Greater Eid. This is the second most important festival in the Muslim calendar. If you lived in a Muslim country it would be a holiday from work.

The story behind this festival is about Ibrahim and how he saw Allah in this dreaming asking him to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God. Many bad things tried to pull away Ibrahim from doing what he was told but as Ibrahim was about to sacrifice his son Allah stopped him and replaced his son with a lamb.

This story is also found in the Jewish Torah and the Christian Old Testament (Genesis 22). Here God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac, his son with Sarah.

On this day Muslims worldwide slaughter a lamb or goat in memory of this incident and then distribute the meat amongst friends, family and the poor. We pray to God and thank him for everything we are blessed with. Receiving presents and visiting friends/family is also a tradition. It is also necessary on Eid to set aside money to donate to the charity. There is also loads of good food and many females love to apply a henna tattoo the night before.

As you can see all religions are connected and I'm very excited for Eid. I hope you have a super extraordinary day. And until then...
                                                                               Keep Smiling!
                                                                         

Hey Ya'll.

It's rather swell of you to accompany me onto my blog. This is my first post and I'd like to dedicate this to Dr. Seuss and music because these are the two things that have been with me though out all of my life. I blame them for my obsession with words and using a thesaurus. This'll be a pleasant journey and you've got to stay on for the ride.

                                                                                 Keep Smiling!
