The Somerset Lavender Farm, England is home to more than 50,000 lavender plants, rows of vibrant bushes spread amongst a 5-acre field. If you come at just the right time (usually June or July), you may be able to capture a photo that looks very similar to an Impressionist painting. I wish I wasn't alergic to this beauty.
Not sure why some of this things exist and who needs them, but why we always ask why? Just enjoy the weird world we live in:)

In Pieces is a seemingly ordinary photo series that, in fact, incorporates LEGO objects that go unnoticed. Sculptor Nathan Sawaya and photographer Dean West joined forces for this creative multimedia project, each applying their area of expertise to produce a set of deceptive images that lead the viewer's gaze to wander in search of fabricated objects or subjects. In one frame, we're presented with an image of a man in his underwear standing by an indoor pool. Just about anything could be the elusive LEGO object(s), but it turns out to be the towel hanging on a hook and the flip flops on the ground. In hindsight, the blocky objects may seem obvious; however, much of the image is already pixilated. The scene is filled with boxes that make up the tiled walls and floor, not to!?id=271282520mention the artificiality of lighting and Photoshop edits that are typically rendered in digital photography and print ads.

Painter Louise McNaught is fascinated with nature, an admiration that comes through in many of her paintings. With a soft, simple style, the artist mainly paints animals who appear otherworldly and, what she describes as, "ethereal in their luminescence." The drips of paint that stream off of the animals' bodies are McNaught's subtle commentary on the ever-growing concerns of environmental deterioration and destruction.

What would it be like if , one day, you woke up to find that your body had mysteriously grown or shrunken in size? While there have been countless movies based on this premise, we haven't quite seen it in photo series, at least, not like this. Enter Paul Armstrong. He's not just the photographer, he's also the one acting out each shot. Armstrong's self-portraits are believable because he's put himself in ordinary situations, like reading a book on a couch or getting into his trusty Honda Civic. His dead-pan expressions give nothing away, and only make the series all the more interesting. When asked why he took on this project, Armstrong told us that he wanted to challenge himself to "try something different."

Too Much Time, Again is a thread installation by Los Angeles-based artist Pae White that stems from her own experiences with insomnia.
