clipped from www.darkroastedblend.com Spring Cleaning of the Mind: Surreal Art Update When you need to make an existential omelet, ask these guys for a recipe Since our last "Surreal Art Update" showcase we've seen enough mind-blowing and creative work to propel us in ecstasy to the Moon and back; these artists - bless their free-wheeling imagination - can make the dead wake up and wail in exasperation "what is this I see!?

Working in a Sea of Green: Laos Photos by Ben Visbeek (15 pics)

clipped from amolife.com Working in a Sea of Green: Laos Photos by Ben Visbeek "I think the best way to explore Laos is by bicycle or feet. Meeting friendly Lao people in the small villages along the way and enjoying its countryside. I had to stop many times to make a photo. A beautiful scenery of rice fields next to the limestone hills where the clouds are hanging." ~ Ben Visbeek
