Themed pictures(Motion/Stationary)

These 2 pictures show the contrast between a stationary and moving object. The pole is not moving while the blurred cars are moving.
This picture shows roughly how a large insect would look at the pole. Again, the pole is stationary and the background is moving.

In this picture, nothing is moving. The objects are stationary.

This is a birds eye view of the entrance to my estate. The car on the right looks different in the dark.
This picture show just stationary objects, nothing is really moving.

Photos

This picture shows how small the pupils are compared to the tree. 
This is a picture of the video camera near the field. The camera is looking directly upwards towards it.
This picture is a picture of 2 staircases, one going up and the other down. I think that there could be an illusion if this picture was taken better.
I like this picture as I think that the leaves make the field look like an entrance from a forest. Also, it makes the field cooler than it really is. 
This picture is a shot of the fire station. This picture would be better if the camera went lower.
