The beauty and the pain of being human. Images.

I thought this most wonderful, colorized, 3-minute high-definition video should go here. Do watch: this simply shows regular people and traffic in central London 90 years ago, but I found it quite fascinating.

A Moment Destined to Happen
This American soldier was caught on camera kissing actress Marlene Dietrich in 1945. He had just returned from WWII on a ship, and she was waiting at the dock when they happened to pull in.

This photograph may look like a couple that had finally waited for months to embrace, but they didn't even know each other! Either way, this moment was destined to happen.

In the same vein, this new video is utterly absorbing and quite wonderful to watch.

Came across this photo this morning and it made me feel good on so many levels. Not only is it a parody on social media and social media influencers it is also a reminder that real connections are with real people and fun can be had at no cost and at any time.

This photograph was taken (extremely) shortly after the detonation of a nuclear device during Operation Tumbler-Snapper. The projecting spikes are known as a rope trick effect.

Wonderful heartfelt story amidst the chaos on our planet at the moment. There are some extraordinary people out there with great big loving hearts, and thank God for that.
