This guy just made my jaw drop. He takes 360-degree panoramas and turns them into tiny planets. The full set is here.

And while I'm at it, more beautiful otherworldly pictures by marnameow. They're a set taken on the Thames at night, exposed for so long they're as bright as day.


River, and gherkin in the distance

How did I live without this constant influx of cool stuff from the internet? Oh yeah, I got quarterly fanzines in the post or something. It wasn't much fun.

ooh, the first one looks like a 21st century version of the planet illustrations in LE PETIT PRINCE.

Yeah. I can't help but think of baobabs. They scared the crap out of me when I was little.

Tiny planets? Have you seen Super Mario Galaxy for the Wii by any chance? It's basically The Little Prince made into a video game.
