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.

Yellow Daisy Egg
My pets are in awe of these beautiful eggs—they would love to try to paint their own one year. Easter and spring are times of joy as the earth awakens, plants are pushing forth from the soil, and the days are becoming warmer. Many baby animals are born in the spring, and life is burgeoning. May these eggs bring you joy and be a reminder of the earth renewing itself.

@ Abstract Neon Waves
Despite some lasers being hotter than the surface of the sun, they can be used to cool atoms when combined with a magnetic field.

@ Fishtank in Neon
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.

A tiny laser beam can etch a serial number onto a diamond, the hardest natural substance known to humans.

@ Neon Tube Installation
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.

@ Glitch Art in Teal
Lasers can be used as spectrometers which are devices that use light to determine the specific chemical components in different types of matter. When laser light passes through a gas made from matter it reflects certain colors in specific wavelengths that are then studied to identify the different elements that are present in it.

@ Abstract Neon Lines
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.

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
Laser tag was developed as a non-lethal training programme for the US army in the 1970s.

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

@ Neon Bulb in Blue
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.

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?

@ Abstract Geometric Grid Picture
By using lasers, it’s possible to get sequencing information about DNA from a single molecule.

@ Neon Spin
LASER is actually an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.

@ Neon Leaves In Blue and Purple
Lasers are used in speed cameras to determine whether drivers are exceeding the speed limit. Lasers are also used for latent fingerprint detection and are much more accurate than previous methods that were used.

@ Flaring Neon Lightbulb
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.

@ Jazzy Piano Motif
Laser lights can’t be seen in space because they do not consist of any matter; matter is required to give the scattering effect which makes them visible.

@ Abstract Neon Decoration
"Oh, Jaime Lanister! You know that dark grey you see as soon as you turn off the lights—just before complete darkness takes over or your eyes adjust to the lack of light?" asked Angel.
"Er—no, but yes?"
"It has a name! It's known as 'Eigengrau'. It's a German word meaning 'intrinsic grey'".
"Wow!"

“Oh hello, Jaime Lanister!” cried whisper. “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 Jaime Lanister.
