The Beautiful and Bizarre Pointlessness of Some Human Activity

After six years,
4,200 hours of shooting,
and 720,000 pictures,
wildlife photographer Alan McFadyen 
finally managed to take a perfect shot
of a kingfisher diving into the water
WITH NO SPLASH.

But true appreciation of life is
appreciation of its pointlessness,
and the best way to live
is in the pleasure
of its pointlessness.
