A showcase of one of the delicate digital landscapes created by French graphic studio Cut And Cook, what sez:
…a major challenge in terms of digital technique. It required properly customized developing systems. Some 3D sequences featured more than 30,000,000 polygons. Time render has been optimized and reduced to the max (40,000 hours accumulated).
Sculptor Anthony Gormley’s public artwork ‘Another Place’ – one hundred 650kg cast iron figures installed along two miles of Merseyside’s Crosby Beach since the mid 2000s – recently captured by photographer Paul Sutton in particularly good light.

These extraordinary images by Andre Ermolaev are aerial phogrpahs of rivers flowing through the beds of volcanic ash that cover much of Iceland. Sez he:
Iceland is a wonderful country; I would even say that it is a true paradise for all the photo shooting-lovers. But what has become a real discovery for me is the bird’s eye view of the rivers flowing along the black volcanic sand. It is an inexpressible combination of colors, lines, and patterns. The photo represents the mouth of the river falling into the ocean. […] A little bit upstream there is a yellow-colored brook flowing into the river, but yellow currents fail to mix with the main water flow. One can estimate the scale judging by the car tracks that are clearly seen on the black sand. This is just a river, just a volcano, just our planet.

Two unPhotoshopped images from The Line – a photobook by Spanish photographer and architecture student Palíndromo Mészaros.
The photos document the aftermath of a 2010 toxic waste spill in Western Hungary, which killed nine people and forced the evacuation of thousands. The material, released from an aluminum factory, has left a permanent mark on the villages in its path.
