National Geographic ran a special recently on the Cave of Crystals found in Mexico's Chihuahuan Desert. I havn't seen the special yet but there's a rerun on the National Geographic channel tomorrow morning! Like out of some fantasy novel, I can't believe a place like this exists! Truly one of the wonders of the world. Just makes me realize that despite all the advanced gadgets, cars, etc., the natural world is still just so brilliant! I'll just let these images speak for themselves...

                   Not Photoshopped! Yes...those are real grown-ass men!

Richard Kirk

Richard is a Canadian artist who is known for creating complex works of art and super fine lines using pen and ink and the silverpoint technique. His images explore the space between imagination and reality and challenges conventional notions of the beautiful and the grotesque. He is interested in the forms found in nature, the morphology of plants and animals, and the effect of time on materials. He has illustrated numerous books for authors such as Clive Barker, China Miéville, Caitlin R. Kiernan, Poppy Z. Brite and others. In 2007, Kirk created six illustrations for Korn's eighth studio album.
