Million Year Art

April 4, 2009

Sometimes, we puny humans are completely redundant when it comes to creating great art. Just let nature get on with it and jaw dropping, adjective exhausting, sense overloading pieces of art pop up all around us. Well, after a million years or so.

This site (http://www.earth.uk.net)  is a collection of photographs of cross-sections of agates and other rocks and minerals, highlighting the spectacular formations often rendered on tiny scales. I can heartily recommend browsing though the images – they are also available to buy in large format and mounted.

My top 5 (find them on the site as they look much better on a black background), which I would be happy to hang in my house, are:
