Tiny Existential Figures in London

Neat. See also. The food people in particular are hilarious. My fav is the the astronauts exploring the surface of a creme brule. I'm somewhat amazed that out of all these sites, I've yet to see anyone portray angels on the head of a pin.

Kinda related: The New York Times had a photo (taken in August) of construction at Ground Zero using the tilt-shift lens technique.

Pretty cool. I've seen the food people before, and was a fan then, and still am. Reminds me of my model railroading days.

I approve, of course, but none of modern stuff can touch the miniature wood carvings at the Wallace collection, and it is killing me that I cannot find links to pictures of them
