These photos are not for those with a weak stomach! Hard and long winter takes it victims and lifeless, frozen beings are the proof how nature can be very cruel sometimes. If you get sad while watching this, remember, nature is taking, but also giving – it’s all a part of the great circle of life!

The acclaimed American dance troupe Pilobolus uses their extraordinary talents of balance, flexibility and strength to convey the alphabet. Like most alphabet books, the letters are depicted in upper case accompanied by a noun that begins with that letter, such as B for butterfly. The main difference here is that every letter and its noun is formed by twisting, contorting humans. The letters themselves are unique, sometimes verging on ingenious. It’s the accompanying photos that are extremely difficult. They range from ponderous to impossible. They are all so abstract that the young reader they are meant to instruct, though perhaps amazed at the dancer’s bendablity, cannot possibly puzzle out what the letter stands for. Thankfully, there is a code breaker included—otherwise the mystery, in some cases, might never be cracked. The letter N for nest, for example, is still baffling even after one looks up the answer. While the talent and ingenuity of Pilobolus can be applauded, their efforts will be lost on the intended audience.

Really, who doesn’t think that flying is beautiful. It’s probably one of the feelings you can have. Look how some of the photographers caught this magnificent moment and enjoy.

started a search to no avail a light that shines behind the veil trying to find it and all around us everywhere is all that we could ever share if only we could see it feel there’s truth that’s beyond me life ever changing weaving destiny
and it feels like i’m flying above you dream that i’m dying to find the truth seems like your trying to bring me down back down to earth

layers of dust and yesterdays shadows fading in the haze of what i couldn’t say and though i said my hands were tied times have changed and now i find i’m free for the first time feel so close to everything now strange how life makes sense in time now
and it feels like i’m flying above you dream that i’m dying to find the truth seems like your trying to bring me down..back down to earth

Started a search to no avail
A light that shines behind the veil trying to find it
And all around us everywhere
Is all that we could ever share if only we could see it
Feel there’s truth that’s beyond me
Life ever changing weaving destiny

And it feels like i’m flying above you
Dream that i’m dying to find the truth
Seems like your trying to bring me down
Back down to earth back down to earth

Layers of dust and yesterdays
Shadows fading in the haze of what i couldn’t say
And though i said my hands were tied
Times have changed and now i find i’m free for the first time
Feel so close to everything now
Strange how life makes sense in time now

And it feels like i’m flying above you
Dream that i’m dying to find the truth
Seems like your trying to bring me down
Back down to earth back down to earth
Back down to earth back down to earth
