Fabulous Photographs of Surging Ocean Waves Frozen in Time

 Roy Collins, an Australian photographer uses his digital camera to highlight the short-lived beauty of ocean waves as they surge and break in cascades of sea foam. Roy Collins swims out to sea every day, wanting to capture the natural moments when sun-dappled water crests into detectable shapes just like mountains and hills. Moreover, Frozen in time, each suspended wave takes on the appearance of a glass sculpture shot through with shining undertones of aqua and emerald.

Therefore, when you look at his stunning images it is extremely hard to believe that Roy Collins, who is colorblind, only started pursuing photography in 2007 after working as a coal miner for years. Although he is unable to work in the mines any longer because of a knee injury, he swapped his underground world with an underwater paradise filled with sunshine, surfing, and remarkable swells of water.   

He says, I've been working in an underground coal mine longer than I have been making photographs, but my original memories are of being in the ocean, so I predict it's a full circle of influence. I will tell you what; however, nothing feels better than being in the sea after breaking rocks and avoiding being crushed by collapsing tunnels for twelve hours straight. It’s a complete freedom. Collins's photographs can be seen in Found at Sea, his newest coffee table book described as "a visual journey capturing the brief moments of a wave's journey to dissipation."

Ivanhoe Reservoir Covered With 400,000 Black Polyethylene Balls

The Department of Water Protection in Los Angeles noticed high levels of bromated in 2007, a carcinogen that forms when bromide and chlorine react with sunlight. 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 damaging mix. More than a century old facility serves over 600,000 customer’s downtown and in South Los Angeles. 

Therefore, the Department of Water Protection realizes the upcoming problem, they immediately started construction of a new underground reservoir in Griffith Park, but though the new facility was being built they had to resolve the problems by a way to keep the sunlight out of the water. The possibility of tarps and metal coverings were explored but they were either too costly or will take too long time to install. Hence, after a deep though, their one of the DWP's biologists, Brian White, recommended "bird balls" frequently used by airports to avoid birds from congregating in wet areas alongside runways. 

The bird balls are made of polyethylene and price only 40 cents apiece. The bird balls coating hold carbon and black is the only color strong as much as necessary to deflect ultraviolet rays. Therefore, 400,000 balls were put into the reservoir on June 2008, where they will hang about for the next 4 to 5 years until the new underground reservoir is finished.

Stylish Wood Sculptures Created from Discarded Tree Trunks and Branches

Jae-Hyo Lee, a South Korean artist who lives in “Yangpyeong” with his artist wife “Cha Jong Rye”, uses organic materials like wood to make large-scale, sculptural pieces that favor both form and function. The artist mainly focusing on geometric shapes, like the sphere, and in some way manages to transform tree trunks and substantial branches into flawlessly formed globes, columns, and furniture-like objects. Lee said, I know very well, that i am enough able to make artworks with materials around me which I can manipulate. Normally these materials are from nature.

Therefore, when it comes to his wood sculptures, I normally forgoes exclusive, rare trees in favor of scraps from cheap or abandoned specimens, explaining, and I strongly believe you can get more of a “wow effect” when you make a prominent piece from every day, common materials. In order to achieve striking, smooth look of sculptures, the 50 year old “Lee” engulfs each piece in flames until the wood is charred black. After that he polishes the surface until the outer wood pieces gleam glowingly, contrasting sharply with the dark color of the scorched interior. The artist usually displayed in museums, galleries, and the lobbies of high-end hotels, there are an elegant, pristine quality of organic work that belies the grueling manual labor that went into the creation of apiece sculpture.

Turkish Artist Recreates Classic Works of Art inside Fragile Cracked Eggshells

A Turkish Woman artist “Süreyya Noyan” skillfully transforms eggs by prudently cracking a window into them, removing the egg, and painting recreations of world-renowned works of art on the inside of the shells.

She draws inspiration from famed artwork such as van Gogh's Starry Night, The Kiss by Gustav Klimt, and Rembrandt's The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp.

She also illustrates few of Turkey's most wonderful architectural structures within the subtle eggshells.
