Indian in the Mountain

Natural 4 October 2012 No Comments Yet - Share Your Thoughts

Using Google Earth, a mountain formation resembling the head of an Indian can be found near Alberta, Canada.  The image features a lot of facial detail including an eyebrow, an eye, a nose, lips, a chin and a neck.  Some people have even noted that it looks like the profile might be listening to an iPod.  If so, I wonder what he is listening to?

Is this man climbing a large white ladder?  What is going on here?

Elvis Presley by Ken Knowlton

Composite 26 September 2012 No Comments Yet - Share Your Thoughts

According to Ken Knowlton, he has been many things.  He cites being a student, teacher, speaker, mathematician, physicist, electron microscopist, computer scientist, researcher, inventor, author, artist, and a critic.  He also creates portrait mosaics of famous people using real seashells.  As you would imagine, this is a tedious process that involves a lot of trial and error to get everything just right.  His shell rendering of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll can be seen below.
