Amazing Bodies

One thing that I will always be amazed by are the incredible bodies of athletes. I'm far from athletic. In fact, the only thing I was good at in high school gym was "fitness walking." Anyone with any physical coordination and athletic ability completely wows me. I love these images of the stripped down olympians from ESPN's 2012 Bosy Issue. I love seeing the athletes caught in mid-movement. See more all the pictures at espn.com.

 

Suspended

I love these photographs of the dancers of The National Ballet of Canada. I'm amazed by the dancers bodies and their physical ability as well as how the dancers seem to be caught in mid-dance, as if suspended in air. The palette of the images is additionally quite stunning. Nothing but pale shades of flesh, from the warm peach of a rosy cheek to the cool grey of a pasty leg. The result is both soothing and breath taking. See more lovely images after the jump.
