Bindi Irwin's worst nightmare.

 

[Keef]

Showed this to some buddies as inspiration for going to NYC for the New Year. And they thought downtown Chicago was impressive...

Damn, they learned how to jump! We're doomed!

Why does the lightning look like Homer Simpson's father to me?

Can't tell if fake, but cool nonetheless...

Looks fake to me

Yeah the first one doesn't look right but some of the others are plausible. The shadows are on a brick wall too, so no back light trickery.


Anyway, some Nat Geo stuff from the same site: http://www.binscorner.com/pages/n/nationalgeographicchannelstrikesagainmin.html

as far as I can read it is real, I've seen other work of theirs in the past posted online and they have a bio page on wiki, obviously not proof but good enough for me.

Blimey, in that case that is amazing. Have you got any links? I've no idea who did it so don't know where to start looking.

I can just about see it in this one but can't work out the rest

Anes, the National Geographic stuff is nearly always brilliant but that collection is outstanding.

That bins corner site has a large library of awesome images. Well worth a look through it.

Nice photo there. Confusing at first, the more you look at it, the clearer it becomes.
Photoshopped or not, it's a true masterpiece. Whoever made it.

Looks like someone's torn the corner off in the top right side. Damn kids! Get a haircut!!

 

[Neal]

It's one of four sculptures by Anish Kapoor (pictured) which is part of the Turning the World Upside Down exhibition being held in Kensington Gardens, London until 13th March 11.

Pretty sure that's a sidewalk.

 

[Neal]

^ Indeed it is, in fact it's the concrete plinth he's standing on.


BTW Nero that's fog not smog so shouldn't be a problem unless you get frizzy hair

 

[Anes]

I thought it was a piece of steel and they just glued that reflective vinyl stuff to it - which someone tore off

 

[exigeracer]

Richard Serra + mirrors. Pretty interesting.

 

[Slick Rick]

Urmm I dont understand how everything is reflected upside down but the reflection of the guy is the right way up....

Looks interesting though, I might just check it out.
