Smashed

In his series Broken Flower, Jon Shireman soaks flowers in liquid nitrogen then uses a special contraption to slam them against a wall at high speed to break them. The resulting photographs look pretty awesome. Check out the rest of his flickr stream here.

Professor Paul Bourke at the University of Western Australia finds fractal patterns across the face of our planet using Google Earth. Consider my mind blown. See more fractals he's found here.
