"Spectacular" doesn't even seem to cut it when it comes to describing photographer Vincent Brady's series, "Planetary Panoramas.
" The photographs in the series capture breathtaking skies in some of the most stunning landscapes in the United States and Canada. "While experimenting with different photography tricks and techniques back in 2012, I was shooting 360 degree panoramas in the daytime and long exposures of the stars streaking in the sky at night. It suddenly became clear that the potential to combine the two techniques could be a trip," Brady wrote on his website.
"Since the Earth is rotating at a steady 1,040 mph I created a custom rig of 4 cameras with fisheye lenses to capture the entire night-sky in motion. Thus the images show the stars rotating around the north star as well as the effect of the southern pole as well and a 360 degree panorama of the scene on Earth. " Van Gogh, eat your heart out.

How North Korean Architects Imagine the Future of Cities. 15 Beautiful Metro Stations Across The World.
The city is constantly associated with the chaotic rat race of modern life, a contrast to the idyllic beauty of the countryside. But cities have a beauty of their own, a beauty found in the mundane and everyday architecture we tend to overlook. A prime example is the public transport system, especially the metro – something everyone who’s lived in a busy city has complained about at least once – which, like the city, are seen as crowded, congested and polluted. You wouldn’t expect something that’s buried underground and used only for the mad dash from point A to point B to be beautiful.
But these stations, like the city itself, will prove you wrong. 1. These 29 Clever Drawings Will Make You Question Everything Wrong With The World.

Jaw-Dropping Videos Of What The World's Cities Look Like Without People. Preview: Liz Brizzi and Jolene Lai at Thinkspace. Many people experience a sense of loneliness in large cities despite the fact that one would be hard-pressed to find a corner of a metropolis where one could be entirely alone.
Liz Brizzi’s upcoming show at Thinkspace Gallery in Culver City, “Adrift,” is a reflection of the artist’s solitary wanderings in Los Angeles. For anyone who has spent time in LA, one of the striking things about Brizzi’s body of mixed-media work, which combines painting, photography and collage, is that she leaves the streets completely bereft of people and vehicles. Brizzi’s Los Angeles is a ghost town, not so much to inspire fear, but to provoke curiosity about the less-glamorous corners of the city rarely shown in the media. Brizzi’s contemplative collection of artworks will be accompanied by Jolene Lai’s joyful solo show, “Play,” in the project room, where the artist celebrates the imagination with paintings of whimsical exploration.
Both shows open April 26 and will be on view through May 17. Arresting Dystopian South African Cityscapes Merge Fantasy with Reality.
