Alan McFadyen, 46, was taken by his grandfather Robert Murray to see the kingfisher nesting spot at the beautiful lakeside location near Kirkcudbright, Scotland, 40 years ago. As he grew up, Mr McFadyen never forgot his boyhood visits and so when he took up photography six years ago, he decided to make the spot the focus of his attention, taking hundreds of photos per day trying to capture a kingfisher's flawless dive. Scroll down for video The perfect shot: Mr McFadyen spent six years and took 720,000 photos before he was able to capture the kingfisher's flawless dive.

Trees cast off years and grant health and cheer, or so transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson claimed in his 1836 essay “Nature.” “In the woods,” he wrote, “I feel that nothing can befall me [. . .] which nature cannot repair.” Indeed, research shows that trees really do have healing powers. For one thing, they release antimicrobial essential oils, called phytoncides, that protect trees from germs and have a host of health benefits for people.

The oils boost mood and immune system function; reduce blood pressure, heart rate, stress, anxiety, and confusion; improve sleep and creativity; and may even help fight cancer and depression. Li’s personal interest in tree therapy is rooted in a trip he took to the forest in 1988. BLACK 2.0 - The world’s mattest, flattest, black art material – Culture Hustle. IMPORTANT!!!!

BLACK 2.0 - The world’s mattest, flattest, black art material – Culture Hustle

We are so sorry - the demand for Black 2.0 has been so huge Stuart and his friends have completely exhausted the raw materials they need to make the paint. It’s going to take another 4 weeks for more paint to be ready to dispatch! It is all made by hand by a small team in Stuart’s studio and it does take time. It’s not all bad news though, there is another batch of Black 2.0 on the horizon so: Vanta black. Just call it the dark ages.

The latest controversy in the art world is a furor over the darkest material ever created. In 2014, Surrey NanoSystems announced that it had created Vantablack, a "forest" of nanotubes that can be grown on an aluminum base. It is the darkest material ever, absorbing so much light that it can fool the eye into seeing a smooth surface on a crumpled sheet of aluminum foil, something like this: It's really neat, but many artists are furious that the exclusive rights to use the ultra-black material in art have been given to Anish Kapoor a sculptor. Surrey NanoSystems is restricting the use of Vantablack in art, but not other areas, citing the difficulty of actually using the material, and their basic desire not to deal with the customs headache of exporting it from the UK.

Who is Harris Burdick?

Ordinarily, it is younger people, writing for the first time, who create Burdick stories. However, on at least one occasion, the author was someone who'd been exercising his prodigious imagination as a storyteller for many years. It is not only writers who have been inspired by the Burdick pictures. The animators at Gilbert Design didn't exactly have a solution for the mystery of "The Seven Chairs" or "Uninvited Guests", but they did have an idea about what happened next. Click on an animation below to see their version. Recently, two young musical theater artists (composer Chris Miller and lyricist Nathan Tysen) created songs inspired by Burdick's pictures.
