The surf event at Huntington Beach, California is held to honor the ocean and protest coastal pollution. Several thousand reportedly attended the event, in part to recognize a spiritual aspect of man's relationship to water, the coastline, and the surf. Whether it's massive rolling ocean waves, or standing waves in rivers, or wind-driven lakewater, people around the world find a way to get out and ride on belly boards, kiteboards, longboards, wakeboards and more.

The world most dangerous birds - Cassowary
According to the Guinness Book of Records, the Cassowaries are the world’s most dangerous birds, capable of dealing fatal blows. They are very unpredictable, aggressive creatures, especially if wounded or cornered. The Cassowary lives in the rain forests of Australia and New Guinea and are actually pretty shy animals if undisturbed, but if you get to close and it thinks you’re a threat you could receive a bone-breaking kick or get sliced by its dagger-like sharp claws. During WWII, soldiers stationed in New Guinea were warned to stay away from these birds, but some of them still became victims.

Amazing pencil art by artist Jennifer Maestre
I love impressionism. One of my favourite painters is Claude Monet. I can’t name just only one favourite painting of him. He made so many beautiful pieces of art. At their time impressionist movement was something really original, new and revolutionary.
And I would like to introduce you somebody original from our times – Jennifer Maestre. She is a South African artist. She creates sculptures made entirely of colored pencils. Such a fun! I love the amazing shapes and colors! It looks almost like creatures of nature.

Work of art made of staples
In past we have seen artists using various mediums to express their creativity, but we never came across artwork created using staples; though we created a post on Staple Skyscrapers. But what we have here is really incredible. Artist B Debombourg creates beautiful detailed work of art using staples. The creativity is known once you get close to these creations and we are sure you would appreciate them. Carefully placing 35,000 staples on a white wall, he created two pieces of art, over a period of 75 hours.

Grotesque art
That there is an overwhelming number of pieces that represent this particular grouping of artwork seems false to believe, but this is happening to be on the rise as we get further into the new millennium, and realize the shedding of our culture's skins time and again. Grotesque artwork pulls us back into the human forms we have been born into, and truly seems to give us a reaffirming sense of who we are. There are many artists, though part of other movements, which have proven to fill the criteria for this grouping of concepts.
Grotesque art from the past ranges from varying degrees of mood and theme, but always seem to draw from those factors that are widely considered by to be taboo or dark in nature, adhering to some of the most brutal and thought-provoking events in history. All these things have come together to create a body of works that jump between particular eras, but seem interrelated in the subject matter that they portray, creating works that define the morbid attentions that we seem to take from our history as a whole.

Through the works of such famed artists as Picasso and Goya, the light within the darkness of our human condition can be revealed to us, and these reflections of our culture are seeds to the future as the culture has evolved. Many differing movements each seems to donate their unique spin when considering these peculiar models of work, and the theme of horror and terror can be interpreted by distinct people many varying ways, no matter whether today or some era further behind us. For some cultures, it is a way to evacuate fear, and express it without harm to one's emotional health.

Though morals may seem to be too constrictive today, there are still points where society converges on points that break past the emotional barriers that many people construct, and this art is very much a mirror for evoking an honest reaction at the reflection that stares back, a response that cannot be replicated any other way. These images affect the rest of the present day world, as can be heard in many recent dimensions in music, and related themes can even be found in today's popular attraction towards the horror films and novels which sell more than ever now.

It is when you consider the works of artists possessed by a certain vision, one that evokes pain as well as passion along with the other contradictions in life, and it is then that historic works like those of Hieronymus Bosch and even modern designs of H. R. Giger can be learned in the equal measure of value. Their predilections towards breaking the taboos enforced by their surroundings, has helped to guide us steps into the future of our own acceptance and appreciation for our world, and the layers of depth can be revealed when one takes the time to find those elements that appeal to the sense of artistic worth.
To take control of your knowledge of this kind of artwork can better equip you for finding the particular works that you would be for the most part enthusiastic about own, and though most of the more famous works can only be bought as prints, there are still many artists today who practice a style that intrudes upon that thin layer on the surface that reveals the majority visceral layers underneath that. When looking for the right work to suit your tastes, a good deal respect must be given to those that attempt to translate their thoughts onto canvas, and you can come to this category of art when approached with an open mind.
Today, some works by the artist Joe Coleman has more recently pushed the boundaries further back, and smashed a lot of preconceptions of artistic will. His approach includes the use a single horse hair brush, and detailing so fine that many layers can be found after viewing the paintings and prints dozens of times over, creating a new perspective on it with each consecutive viewing of the work. It is these layered degrees that artists strive for time and again to reveal insights into the nature of what it is to be human, and allow us to remain in touch with sides of ourselves previously unknown or held back.

Amazing from nature - vegetables and fruit
What is a natural organic product? These days the answer to that question has become a bit confusing. Although an organic product is "literally" natural, according to regulations on how the food is grown, processed and labeled, the terms, "all-natural" "natural," and "organic" mean three different things.Organic food is obviously the healthiest and purest food for you to eat, but unfortunately many food companies try to fool you by labeling their products with the word(s)natural or all-natural so you think it is as healthy as organic food, when in fact it is not. This images are products of organic nature.

Nature can be really interesting and amazing.I am not saying that natural food is bad for you, it just is not as healthy as certified organic food.You will notice when you go food shopping that most organic food has a label on it that says it is a "certified organic product." Each state has an agency that monitors and certifies organic food growers and producers. The organic farm fields and processing facilities are inspected, and detailed records are kept. Also periodic testing of the soil and water takes place to ensure that strict standards are being met. Natural products differ, however, from organic products in that they are not inspected by an independent organization. Although they are usually healthier than regular processed food, there are no guarantees about the health quality of these products. This is the main concern with many natural products.
