Aerial Photographs of Volcanic Iceland by Andre Ermolaev

Aerial photos of rivers flowing through Iceland’s volcanic ash by photographer Andre Ermolaev: "Iceland is a wonderful country; I would even say that it is a true paradise for all the photo shooting-lovers. But what has become a real discovery for me is the bird’s eye view of the rivers flowing along the black volcanic sand. It is an inexpressible combination of colors, lines, and patterns. The photo represents the mouth of the river falling into the ocean."

Piramida

Piramida (meaning "the pyramid") is the name of a small Russian town in Spitsbergen. It's also the upcoming album from Efterklang... featuring some nice artwork by Danish design studio Hvass&Hannibal:

Efterklang – Piramida

Efterklang – Piramida

The band spent nine days in the ghost town of Piramida (the mining settlement was abruptly abandoned in January 1998), recording sound samples which they’ve pieced together for their new album.

The video for Hollow Mountain (loving the reference to the empty mine!), created and directed by Jakob Steen and Christoffer Frandsen, mixes photos the band took while on their trip with elements created by Hvass&Hannibal:
