As high summer sets in, do we awaken to discover ourselves in a world steeped in incandescent sunshine that constantly dazzles our eyes?

Do the rays intrude ignored corners and adorn them with arresting patterns? What is amazing with the visible world is that beauty resides in places where there is a keen observer who’d linger and find uniqueness in what habit threats to mortify, and patterns that reflect the changing seasons will emerge as enchanting forms.

The interplay of light and shadow can elevate what is deemed as commonplace, mark a building one passes without looking with stunning features, and give birth to myriad Kodak moments that we’d take as a gift from nature or a charming city.

Cyber Island invites you to capture wonderful pictures hidden in everyday life.
