Artistic Architecture and Landscape Photography (15 photos) Varlose, Denmark-based freelance architectural and landscape photographer Kim Holtermand takes photos that make you appreciate life's still moments. There's an underlining moodiness to his work - you can almost feel the heavy fog surrounding the buildings or weaving through the trees. His attention to color, composition, lines and angles doesn't go unnoticed. In fact, it should come as no surprise that before he began his photographic career, Holtermand worked as a graphic designer. I got in touch with Holtermand to ask him about his technique. "I usually just shoot digital with different Canon DSLR's and use various lenses from Canon, Tokina, Samyang and others. "Most of my work has been shot in Scandinavia; Denmark and Sweden in paticular, but also in Barcelona, Mallorca and in The Azores." Kim Holtermand's website

mental_floss Blog & The Quick 10: The Real People Behind 10 Fashion Houses - StumbleUpon With all of the hype behind fantastically expensive one-named designers, I think we sometimes forget that somewhere down the line, one individual person actually opened up a store and probably never dreamed their clothes would sell for thousands of dollars (with a couple of exceptions, as you'll see). Here are the stories behind some of those one-named designers. 1. Gucci Getty Images Guccio Gucci opened a small saddlery shop in 1906 and started selling practical leather bags to his horsemen customers sometime in the '20s. The brand was hot for a while, thanks to famous customers like Jackie O., Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn. But when Rodolfo Gucci, one of Guccio's sons, died and left his share to his son Maurizio, Maurizio turned things around and made Gucci a sought-after brand again. 2. Prada has a story similar to Gucci's, but the line is younger and the Italian city it started in is 155 miles north. 3. Getty Images 4. By contrast, Burberry is the second oldest house on the list. 5.

Via Baubauhaus Apple Pie Egg Rolls : : Miss in the Kitchen Apple Pie Egg Rolls I saw one of the Food Network stars making apple chimichangas and thought I had to have some for myself. I bought flour tortillas and apples, and then I used the flour tortillas for tacos. Still wanting some kind of fried apple pie dessert I used the egg roll wrappers I had in place of the flour tortillas. I know, I know frying dessert just makes it more sinful, but these are totally delicious. Maybe they would be good baked, but not as good as fried. UPDATE: I did an interview with the Casper Star-Tribune newspaper and they made a video of me making these Apple Pie Egg Rolls! Apple Pie Egg Rolls Ingredients: 1 tablespoon butter 3 cups apples, peeled, cored, and diced 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 5 egg roll wrappers vegetable oil for frying for garnish: 1 tablespoon sugar mixed with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon Cooking Directions: In a medium size pan, melt butter, add apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Serve with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce, it’s good! Enjoy! Miss
