Amazing Ant Pics

These enchanting images might look like they come from a f-ant-asy world but they are in fact an extraordinary look at the imaginary ant-ics of the humble ant.

The intriguing insects are pictured carrying out a variety of unusual tasks making the superb scenes look as though they’ve been lifted straight from the pages of a fairytale.

The marvellous macro images are the handiwork of talented photographer, Andrey Pavlov, who spent hours setting the stunning scenes.

But the snapper admitted he didn’t have to travel far to find his subjects thanks to an anthill just metres from his house in Moscow, Russia.

Point of View of the Solid Rocket Booster During Launch

This is actually pretty cool, and the sound mixing and enhancement was done by Skywalker Sound.

A few observations:

  • You get to see the speed of the launch in mph in the upper-right – it almost reaches 3000 mph.
  • When it reaches mach 1, around 700 mph, you get to see what I think is a bunch of water vapor break apart, per Neidl deGrasse Tyson.
  • I didn’t know parachutes aid in the splash down.
