Explosive! Spectacular pictures of the moment a bullet shatters food Don't try this at home... Caters If you have ever wondered what would happen if you shot a coconut, here is your answer... Looking almost more like an exploded loaf of bread than the exotic fruit, the bullet's direction and the energy of the impact is caught on camera.

Stunning Images of Paint Being Dropped in Water The images that you see before you appear to be different things to different people. Because of my obsession with the National Geographic and the Discovery Channel, to me, the images below appear to be some newly discovered creatures from the deep sea or images released by NASA of newly discovered galaxies. These stunning images are taken by British photographer, Mark Mawson, who has been taking pictures for over 22 years and specializing in shooting under water scenes. For his Aqueous Series, he takes several drops of colored paint and drops it into a tank of water. As gravity goes to work, so does Mark Mawson.
