Penelope Umbrico gathered over two million from Flickr (2,303,087 to be exact) with the tag “sunset.” The result is a piece logically titled, Suns from the Internet. [EnergyFace]

I find it particularly absurd that the sun, the quintessential life giver, constant in our lives, symbol of enlightenment, spirituality, eternity, all things unreachable and ephemeral, omnipotent provider of optimism and vitamin D… and so ubiquitously photographed, is subsumed to the internet, the most virtual of spaces equally infinite but within a closed electrical circuit. Looking into this cool electronic space one finds a virtual window into the natural world.
