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.

Blue And Gold Egg
The first painted eggs came from Mesopotamia, and because eggs were forbidden food during Lent, people painted eggs while Lent was being observed—after Lent, they would eat the eggs on Easter Day.

Beautifully decorated eggs “pysanka” are associated with Ukraine, and the oldest painted egg that was unearthed in northern Ukraine is dated to the end of the 17th century.

Lasers have been used in a wide range of consumer technologies such as optical disk drives, barcode scanners, fibre optics, manufacturing computer chips and as lighting displays for entertainment.

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

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

@ Abstract Neon Lines
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.

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 ability of lasers to focus light with intense power at very precise areas makes them excellent tools for cutting, welding and even performing surgery on human beings.

@ Neon Bulb in Blue
The strength of early lasers was measured in “gillettes”, which are the number of razor blades a beam is capable of breaking through.

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
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.

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

@ Flaring Neon Lightbulb
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.

@ Jazzy Piano Motif
The first laser was actually a MASER. A MASER, which stands for Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, is essentially like a laser but light given off isn't visible light -- instead it's microwave radiation. The first maser was discovered by Townes, Basov and Prochorov who won the Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1964. The first maser was built at Columbia University.

Sample 22/25

@ Neon Flower Design
The light from a laser is monochromatic; it consists of only one wavelength (colour). Laser light is also coherent, which means all the light coming out is in one direction and the rays are parallel to each other and are in phase. In comparison, a torch gives off light that spreads in all directions and consists of different colors.

“Oh hello, Zoey!” cried Velvet. “Didn’t we bump into each other in Ghent a couple of weeks ago? This is quite the change of scene, isn't it!”
”It certainly is!” declared Zoey.
