When we read about wars, revolutionary scientific discoveries, and other events that altered the course of mankind, we often think of the big picture: paradigms shifted, societies transformed, etc. And while these, let's call them, measures are important, we have to remember that there were people—real people—who laughed and cried just like we do. Luckily, the Facebook page History Addicts is here to remind us of that. Whether it shares an image of an ancient artifact or a school "bus" from the 1930s, its uploads never lose the human touch.

Gary Drostle's "Fishpond" mosaic showcases a captivating illustration of shadows. This artwork employs two distinct types of shadows, each serving a unique purpose.
The primary shadows play a crucial role in shaping and adding a sense of realism to the fish depicted in the mosaic.
In addition to the primary shadows, Drostle incorporates another type of shadow, which can be referred to as "shadow shadows." These shadows serve a different purpose, acting as a connecting element between the fish and the water in the mosaic.
By strategically placing these shadows, Drostle creates a seamless transition between the fish and their aquatic environment, enhancing the overall cohesion and harmony of the artwork.
