Here’s another cool advertisement, this time for a detergent, by Simon Danaher. Where he got all these football players in one place is still a mystery. The poor guys in red must have really regretted choosing that color.
This is the …

If you thought the paintings that look like real photos were impressive, you will love this photograph of a girl with paint makeup that makes her look like a part of a painting.
The shot is composed so well that you …

Slate is featuring a collection of photos from Saddam’s private photo album. Photos like this one where he appears as some sort of a mafioso (seems he was a big Godfather fan).
The late Iraqi dictator was overthrown by the US …

This should have been posted a couple weeks ago for Valentines Day. Simon Danaher has done it again with this ad for a love product.
Beautiful depiction of a legion of cupids (Eros for all you Greeks) casting their missiles for …

This was one of many inspirational posters and was titled “UNEXPLAINABLE. This picture cannot be explained”. We at Xerxy, never shy away from a challenge, but try as we may, we couldn’t come up with an explanation.
You’re welcome to come …

Here’s proof that it can be done.

A rusty can of Rust-oleum really shows you the true meaning of irony.

We love cats, especially ones this cute, but few of us would eat one. This guy claims he just found it sitting in his bowl, but we know that wasn’t the case.
Just look at all that seasoning sprinkled on top …

The Dettifoss is the biggest waterfall in Europe (in terms of volume) and looks almost like liquid rocks disappearing into a thin mist below.
Here is an amazing shot of this beautiful jewel, situated in Iceland. The puny human mortals are …

This is one of those motivational posters that should be taken very seriously. Here we have Darth Vader taking a sample of our Earth’s water for detailed analysis.
It’s obvious that he will use the sample to turn our oceans against …

At first glance, you probably would have looked at this picture and thought “nice photo” or “those earrings look just like mine” or “where can I get her number?”.
You’d be wrong. This amazing image is actually a painting. A work …

High speed photography has always held a certain fascination for us and we have found quite a few other shots since our last post on the subject.
This is a collection of water balloons at the very moment they come into …

Stumbled across this post showing a number of photos of huge earthworms that look almost like slimy aliens.
As a child, I’d always thought of worms as smaller, slower and completely harmless cousins of snakes.
Obviously, I was completely wrong, but …

One thing is clear from this photo. The devil lives in a tower of delicious, flaky chocolate. And who can resist delicious flaky chocolate? We’re doomed aren’t we?
It is actually a “monolithic igneous intrusion” (hmm, I don’t think that should …

30 stunning shots of fast moving objects, taken with cameras with the capability of capturing high-speed objects.
This picture of a rose falling in what appears to be milk was one of our favorites, though why anyone would do this is …

This is a beautiful shot of Chicago River which is dyed green every year on St. Patrick’s Day.
The ingredients of the dye are kept secret, but are safe for the river and its inhabitants. This year, the First Lady, a …

We’re already into the second month of 2009, but here is another post dedicated to the last one.
This recent montage of photos from 2008 has some interesting ones that you probably haven’t seen.
Like this volcano eruption in southern Chile which …

Lots of awesome photos on this post. Some are obviously enhanced, but others can only be described as great photography.
I found this whirlpool photo very attractive. It looks great and very real, though I’m pretty sure it is doctored.
Nonetheless, …

This just looks so majestic and breathtaking. I knew Switzerland was beautiful, but not this much. I have got to go there on a snowboarding trip some day.
Really envy an old snowboarding buddy of mine who was actually working in …

This is an actual pumpkin, carved in the shape of a martian (as featured in the movie Mars Attacks). Neat.

Hamilton Pool is an awesome natural wonder in Austin, Texas. Just looking at the image makes me forget everything else. Would love to go swimming there some day.

Oops. I just killed death. Try sending me to the gallows now.

Hopefully this will now change back to the original principles of freedom and justice.

Earlier on, I blogged about Sebastian and some of the art from his site. Here’s more:
Must be a nightmare to clean. But hey, instead of storing apples in it, how about planting an apple tree in there? If that’s not …

This satellite view of Tuesday’s inauguration looks magnificent. The throngs of people grouped in different places look like bees.

This was the last photo Uros took with his Canon S50. It was likely also the last time that kid touched a golf club.

Although the entire site is done in Flash, it’s worth a look. Here are some of the pieces I found most noteworthy, starting from a cow that lives on top of a 10-story building:
And a tree that was planted in …

This sign probably meant to say “Wong Design”.

Joshua Hoffine has some excellent photography that you can buy online. The horror photos are very cool and remind one of the fears we might have had as kids.
Some are a little disturbing, but most are kind of cute. Would …

There is a great article over at CNN about the wear and tear that US presidents have to go through while in office and how it affects their aging. On average, a US president, while in office, ages twice as …

A loving husband baked his wife a cake in the shape of a Nikon D700 and gave her the actual camera as well.
Looks quite delicious. Especially the interior.
