Coincidence Photography gives being in the right place at the right time new meaning!
These pictures are not photoshopped, instead relying on clever angels, waiting for just the right moment, or perhaps a bit of luck.
Thanks to million place for showing us these.
Lifting the moon is a big job... I can't see you, but I know you're there...
Hairstyles changed while you wait... Ssssshhhhh! I think someone is listening.

Historians say that Bettie Page played a key role in the sexual revolution of the 1960s, and later on she became a cult figure.
Over 20,000 saucy photos of her were taken by a slew of amateur photographers.
Most of the popular 4-by-5 inch black and white photos were taken between 1949 and 1957, and featured her in high heels, bikinis, negligees, bondage apparel, and even nude.
Her popularity has inspired biographers, comic books, fan clubs, websites, commercial products, playing cards, action figures, Zippo lighters with her image, and naughty shot glasses.
In 2005 a film of her life came out called "The Notorious Bettie Page."
Goodbye Bettie. You have certainly made your mark!
I can't tell you how many times I've been up that creek without a paddle in my adventuresome life. It's sure nice to know that there is a place where you can get a paddle when you need one!
Believe it or not...this big thing being loaded unto the airplane is a computer hard disk in 1956!
Here's a couple of custom 2008 hard drives.
DECEMBER 10--Meet Brittany Phillips. Early Saturday morning, the 19-year-old Louisiana woman wanted some sex from her boyfriend.
But Todd Stewart, 35, was apparently not in the mood. In fact, he tried to push Phillips off of him in the bedroom of the pair's West Monroe home. That much the couple can agree upon, according to Ouachita Parish Sheriff's Office reports.
Phillips claims Stewart became violent after rebuffing her advances. Stewart told an investigator that he left the bedroom to sleep on a living room couch, but that Phillips "would not leave him alone." At some point, he added, things got physical and he was stabbed in the lower lip with "a long metal object which appeared to be a knife."
For her part, the frisky Phillips acknowledged to Deputy Shane Smith that she struck Stewart, but said it was done "to protect herself." Phillips, pictured above in a mug shot, was charged with aggravated battery, while a bloody Stewart (above), was charged with simple battery. Phillips was also booked on a pair of outstanding warrants, for simple battery and damage to property
The first race, set for April 2009, is a competition to promote fuel-efficient vehicles. It’s a race for Progressive Automobile X Prize and the winners will drive across America in vehicles that exceed 100 mpg with some strict emissions caps.
The one that finishes with the fastest time, like any race, will be the winner.
This winner will get $10 million dollars. In case you think you can run into your garage and whip up an entry, forget it.
It’s open to big and small car manufacturers. The race is sponsored by the X PRIZE Foundation, an educational non-profit institute whose mission is to promote radical breakthroughs for the benefit of humanity.
Among 70 teams from 12 countries is Tata Motors Limited of the United Kingdom. I recently wrote about their relationship with Motor Development International (MDI), and the production of air cars in India. For more information, Google citycataircar.com , an informative site for the scoop on compressed-air-technology vehicles. This race will have two classes; mainstream and alternative. Tata Motors will probably enter their air car in the mainstream category. You don’t get any cleaner than zero emissions, and that’s what this country really needs.
On the home front, Western Washington University and Hybrid Electric Vehicle Technologies Inc. of Chicago, think they have a winning entry. Canada weighs in with an entry from Motive Industries.
This race is set to start in New York City. The route is booked through 
Then there’s another race with nothing at stake.
An organization called Great Race Sports has announced that they will hold a re-enactment of the original Great Race of 1908 from New York to Paris.
They were hoping to do it this year, but you’ll never guess what happened. The Chinese government revoked travel permits for foreigners throughout their country after demonstrations in Tibet over the Olympic Torch Run.
So the Great Race won’t have it’s 100-year anniversary re-enactment right on time, but better late than never. When the old gas guzzlers get going next year the destination will be Los Angeles, where they’ll pay some of the highest gas prices in the country. I don’t know if that will dampen their spirits, but if they can afford to drive those antiques across the country I guess the price of gas isn’t an issue.
The organizers are careful to point out that they will follow the original route, which ought to be interesting. There have been a few changes in the highway system since 1908. Antique car lovers will swoon when those beauties cruise through their towns.
A funny spoof of this race was a 1965 movie, called appropriately, “The Great Race.” It starred Jack Lemon, Tony Curtis and Natalie Wood, and won four Oscars.
I find the differences between these two races to be ironic, and perhaps a social statement. We still revere our gas guzzlers in spite of the economy and global warming..
Whoever wins the Automotive X Prize, I hope they mass produce their entry for the immediate benefit of the American people. We really need an alternate energy vehicle.
I’m not against having some fun. The Great Race re-enactment promises to entertain car buffs across the nation. However, the X Prize race obviously has more to offer all of us than a nostalgic ride in some shiny gas hogs.
Next year I’ll follow the progress of these two wildly different races and if they both actually happen, I’ll share the results with you.
As It Stands, in this competitive world it seems like we’re all in some kind of race.
The four seasons are depicted in each photo using a little digital magic I presume.
Thanks to Spluch for the pictures. You could call it unreal beauty!
Like millions of other Americans, I'm thrilled to see Dubya's departure from Washington isn't long now.
True to form, he's busy trying to sneak in last-minute laws to benefit his cronies. But, don't worry. He'll be checkmated by Congress though. I checked.
The world is not going to miss this clown. His legacy will be that he's the worst president this country ever had! In eight short years, he and Cheney have pillaged federal funds and deregulated financial markets, leading to our modern Depression.
I wish people would quit calling it a "recession" and other bullshit buzz names. That's Republican talk. Reality says it's a Depression. Yes...we have a lot to thank Dubya for.
It's time to expose the dark secret about political polls . We , the people, don't need them. However , the media market needs them ...
