These are really cool, I wish I had the talent and imagination to create something like these pieces.

Sorry to disagree, but i think these look like examples of how to take some really nice nature shots and then ruin them.

I love the alterations. Very surreal. There are lots of nice pure nature shots around, I like seeing something new. To each his own of course.

Does anyone have the audio to the website or the .swf file? The audio is awesome. I tried to search for that song (Freshcut - Lonely in Paradise) but I haven't found much luck. Anyone here have it?

From a cartoon on http://www.albinoblacksheep.com by "To Much Spare Time"
Probably be bored with it very soon, and switch to "Time Lincoln" from the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie :wink:

"No one catches Time Lincoln...EVER!...AARGH..."

Every sentence in that movie is quotable :lol:

I've downloaded a few of these, but mostly I think the non-photo elements wreck the beautiful scenery. Never in my life have I thought, "a real improvement on this forest would be if smooth lines of disembodied color were winding around in between the trees and formed a big glob of shapes where they converged, then emitted enough light to block out the rest of my view."

i've tried to get some good northern lights desktops before but the ones I found were of low resolution and wound up looking pretty blurry when stretched.

I have pentium 3 @ 1133 MHz and a BIG monitor. 8) I don't have much room in my apartment in Tirana as shown on the photo, but it is practical.
