“If you can photograph the architecture of the original builders in the animal kingdom with the same professional clarity and precision used to photograph human architecture, you’ll see that the work of animals stands up to anything we’ve made in our cities. The mud skyscrapers engineered by termites, and the woven houses of birds, as well as the ceramic mansions of the underworld are utterly magnificent.” Go for a walk and find some animal architecture to photograph.   Upload your photo to flickr and tag it dailycreate and tdc1054

From the experimental photos website: “Waterfalls and waves are no longer the only way to capture the beauty of water, reflections, splashes, abstracts and puddles provide a much more challenging photo opportunity. For example, water reflections can’t have sunlight shining directly on it, abstracts only occur when the water is gently swelling or rippling and both require focus, time and consideration.” Photograph a puddle as in this amazing example is one option, but there are many others here and tips on how to do it.

Surely this photo has to melt the toughest heart? Here is is the story: A husband and wife photography team are now so friendly with a family of wild #beavers they let them take their portrait.

And now they are able to get up close and personal as the animals recognise their voices when they come to visit. Caption this photo or do a creative edit on it if you have time or both.

In Death Comes for the Archbishop, Willa Cather wrote about the sky The sky was as full of motion and change as the desert beneath it was monotonous and still, — and there was so much sky, more than at sea, more than anywhere else in the world. The plain was there, under one’s feet, but what one saw when one looked about was that brilliant blue world of stinging air and moving cloud. Even the mountains were mere ant-hills under it. Elsewhere the sky is the roof of the world; but here the earth was the floor of the sky. The landscape one longed for when one was away, the thing all about one, the world one actually lived in, was the sky, the sky! Make a photo that shows this kind of sky.
