Mealscapes: landscape photos made from food

Carl Warner is a photographer who creates elaborate, fanciful landscapes out of food ("mealscapes") which often make their way into commercial advertisements. They're really outstanding work, and manage to look idyllic as well as entertaining.

Saturn: New photos from Cassini’s recent Enceladus flyby

Carolyn Porco, Cassini Imaging Team Leader and Director of CICLOPS (Cassini Imaging Central Laboratory for Operations), says:

Just down on the ground this morning and posted to the CICLOPS website: New raw (unprocessed) images from Cassini's recent non-targeted flyby of my favorite moon, icy Enceladus.

Also, stay tuned for several `targeted' flybys of Enceladus coming up in the next several months. We have three encounters between October 1 and November 6 this year, with closest approach distances ranging from 99 to 1231 kilometers, and another three between March 27 and May 2 of 2012, all with closest approaches about 75 kilometers. Should be grand.

Vladimir Putin’s action hero persona in photos

Vladimir Putin's stagey action shots put the Russian leader in more macho costumes than a fleet of GI Joes. This Atlantic Big Feature photo-series catalogs the many moods of the ex-KGB spook. To quote Kottke:

Vladimir Putin rides a horse, drives a race car, tags a tiger, does judo, goes on archeological dives, looks at leopards, stands on a boat, arm wrestles, attempts to bend a frying pan, rides a snowmobile, flies a plane, hugs a dog, rides a motorcycle, looks at a bear, swims the butterfly, signs autographs, shoots a whale with a crossbow, plays the piano, feeds a moose, talks with a biker gang, steers a boat, walks through brush with a gun, sits in a tank, blacksmiths, plays hockey, hugs a horse, dives almost a mile in a submersible, and adjusts sunglasses.
