Here is a small sample of some amazing images of nudibranchs coming from National Geographic.

Nudibranchs crawl through life as slick and naked as a newborn. Snail kin whose ancestors shrugged off the shell millions of years ago, they are just skin, muscle, and organs sliding on trails of slime across ocean floors and coral heads the world over. read more

Spotted yesterday on Der Spiegel is the above photograph of tulip farms in the northern Netherlands. No doubt artificially induced to coincide with Mother’s Day in the U.S. and in many other countries this month, we see the fields explode in Suprematist technicolor.

Nature turned into a machine, detached from the natural cycles of time and geography — in other words, detached from itself — re-landscaped here to service a $40 billion global flower industry. read more

We were able to get some images from the Re-sampling Ornament show and an article that was published in Switzerland. We plan on having more spicific content on the individual projects later in the week. So for now enjoy>>>>> read more

This project was made more as a programming exercise intending to transpose the effect accomplished by Zbigniew Rybczynki in his film “The Fourth Dimension” to real-time video. read more

Here is a sampling from xiaming’s flickr page that has a series of the Olympic Center photos. The ones here specifically are of the Water Cube done by Australian architects, PTW. What makes this collection exceptional is that there are few creative, high quality images that were taken during its construction phase. Please take the time to visit xiaming’s page to see more images from the site and other amazing shots taken in China, Korea, Japan + others . read more

During spring in Denmark, at approximately one half an hour before sunset, flocks of more than a million European starlings (sturnus vulgaris) gather from all corners to join in the incredible formations shown above. This phenomenon is called Black Sun (in Denmark), and can be witnessed in early spring throughout the marshlands of western Denmark, from March through to the middle of April. The starlings migrate from the south and spend the day in the meadows gathering food, sleeping in the reeds during the night. The best place to view this amazing aerial dance is in the place called “Tøndermarsken,” where these pictures were taken (on April 5 from 19.30 to 20.30 local time).

Over the next several days, weeks, months we will be expanding the photo journalism and general image collection over on our flickr page. It will consist of images that are new, old, original and found. We have a new link in the third column on the right of the page.  When there are major additions or guest contributors there will be some mention of it on the front page in the form or a post or announcement. Over time it will be trimmed and pruned but for now it is a bit of a free for all.  enjoy>>> core.form-ula on flickr
