Cinemagraphs

I´ve stumbled upon an interesting form of photography. Cinemagraphs are photos in which only one something is animated, the rest is still. It's such a great idea for emphasis! Feels like the time froze just for you to enjoy the work. In authors words, "A Cinemagraph is an image that contains within itself a living moment that allows a glimpse of time to be experienced and preserved endlessly."
I thought this is something worth sharing. Both for its beauty and the philosophy? c;
Here are my favourites. Beware_ they are extremely captivating___

the rest is under a spoiler, because, well, not everyone has perfect internet connection

These are definitely captivating. I have never heard of Cinemagraphs before, and I'm a little upset that I haven't! Very interesting to say the least
