Aurora Borealis Timelapse by Göran Strand

When a solar flare occurred on March 15th of this year the solar winds hit earth and created a mesmerising cosmic light display over Sweden, known as the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights. Using 2464 raw images Göran Strand was able to capture the event and created this magnificent time lapse. I’ve embedded the video below and I highly recommend taking a moment out of your day to chill out and watch.

Video Games vs Real Life by Aled Lewis

Recently I was able to see Wreck It Ralph, which is a really good film by the way, and this delightful little series reminded me of it straight away. I’ve been a fan of Aled’s work for a long time and I’d seen this series when he first started it I guess, but I just forgot how much I love it. I can not recommend checking out his tumblr enough, his work is so good and his Toy Stories series is still a favourite of mine.

400,000 Balls Cover Ivanhoe Reservoir by Gerd Ludwig

In 2007, the Department of Water Protection in Los Angeles detected high levels of bromate, a carcinogen that forms when bromide and chlorine react with sunlight, in Los Angeles’s Ivanhoe Reservoir. Bromide is naturally present in groundwater and chlorine is used to kill bacteria, but sunlight is the final ingredient in the potentially harmful mix.

The 102-year-old facility serves about 600,000 customers downtown and in South Los Angeles. When the Department of Water Protection realized the problem, they began construction of a new underground reservoir in Griffith Park, but while the new facility was being built they had to determine a way to keep the sunlight out of the water, so they used 400,000 plastic balls which resulted in this spectacular spectacle.

Stone Stacking Sculptures by Michael Grab

These incredible stone sculptures are held together by nothing more than gravity. Each stone is precisely positioned to counterbalance the other rocks in the stack. I have no idea how much time is taken on each sculpture but the level of patience needed to continuously alter the stones position by tiny fractions is stagering. I give up so easily on intricate things and this is just astonishing to me. I’ve embedded a point of view video that shows the entire process of creating a relatively small stone structure to help put things into perspective.

Central Park Panorama by Sergey Semonov

Every now and then I like to go through a few blogs that I follow here on tumblr. Earlier today I was casually flicking through Chase’s blog when I saw this incredible image of Manhattan which blew my mind. Originally the image is a huge 3D panorama but I thought I’d chop it up into bite size chucks so it’s easier for your eyes to digest it’s awesomeness.

Palette Knife Cityscapes by Kal Gajourn

Created entirely with a palette knife, these fascinating oil paintings give a nice contemporary twist on cityscape painting. The technique was introduced to Kal Gajourn by a family friend and he’s not looked back since. His unique style gives the cities a wonderful reflective and almost wet look, as if rain water recently flooded the streets.

Rooftopping Photography by Aurelie Curie

Rooftopping is the act of scaling the roofs of tall buildings to capture incredible images like the ones seen above. Often without permission the death defying urban exploration is a daring activity and the work of Aurelie Curie is not for those with a fear of heights. I suggest having a flick through her flickr as it’s stacked full of incredible photography and her skills are not just in rooftopping.

Private Moon by Leonid Tishkov

This captivating mobile art installation and visual poem tells the tale of “a man who met the moon and stayed with her forever”. Russian artist Leonid Tishkov has travelled all over the world with the illuminated moon for ten years capturing unique moments in unexpected places in a wide variety of countries.

“The moon is a shining point that brings people together from different countries, of different nationalities and cultures. And everyone who gets in its orbit does not forget it ever. It gives fairytale and poetry in our prosy and mercantile world.”
