Paintings of crumpled and discarded notes.

This Anamorphic Portrait by Bernard Pras is Made From an Entire Room of Objects

Frozen Trees on the Shores of Lake Ontario
Landscape photographer Timothy Corbin recently captured some stunning photos of ice-laden tress on the shore of Lake Ontario. It’s amazing is to see the evidence of what must have been hours of violent waves creating layers of ice that now hover over water or ice that’s now perfectly serene.
