9 Beautiful Moments When Nature and Art Became One
From ivy-blanketed murals to sculptures woven from willow branches, these 9 artworks blur the line between nature and art. You’ll find a dreaming child merging into a hedgerow in Ecuador, a giant girl watering a real tree in Poland, and a sleeping forest maiden who changes with the seasons in Cornwall. Artists around the world are letting nature do more than surround their work—it’s becoming part of it.

1. When Street Art Meets Nature — Imbabura, Ecuador
A child sleeps peacefully against a concrete wall, painted with lifelike softness by El Decertor. Ivy draped across the mural seamlessly forms a textured blanket, and a teddy bear peeks from underneath the greenery.🔗 Follow El Decertor on Facebook
2. Legend About Giants — Białystok, Poland
Painted by Natalia Rak, this towering mural features a young girl in traditional Polish dress gently watering a tree growing from the ground below. The tree aligns perfectly with her tilted watering can, turning the entire scene into a gentle urban myth.More by Natalia Rak!: The Muralist Turning Walls Into Masterpieces
3. Caring Hand — Glarus, Switzerland
Carved by Eva Oertli & Beat Huber, five stone fingers emerge from the earth to cradle a growing tree, as if nature itself is being held by a giant underground guardian.More photos here!: The Caring Hand – Sculpture in Glarus, Switzerland by Eva Oertli and Beat Huber
4. Wendy! I’m Home
A large expressive face inside the hollow of a tree. The grain and curvature of the wood become part of the face, making it appear as though the tree is speaking or laughing.
5. Come into Light — Tulum, Mexico
Created by Daniel Popper, this monumental wooden sculpture of a human figure gently opens its chest to reveal a tunnel of living greenery. The work invites visitors to step inside and walk through the heart of nature.🔗 Follow Daniel Popper on Instagram
6. Mud Maid — Cornwall, UK
This living sculpture by Sue and Pete Hill lies in the woods of the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Covered in moss and ivy, it changes with the seasons, transforming from green and alive in summer to white and frozen in winter.More about Mud Maid here!: Mud Maid – Living sculpture by Sue and Pete Hill
7. Bougainvillea Crown — Corfu, Greece
On a wall in Paleokastritsa, an elegant face is painted alongside a flourishing bougainvillea. The artist positions the real branches as flowing floral hair, giving life and movement to the portrait.
8. Forest Archer — UK
Crafted by Anna & the Willow, this sculpture made entirely of woven willow shows a woman mid-draw with a bow and arrow. Set deep in a forest path, her flowing skirt and hair mimic the wind.🔗 Follow Anna & the Willow on Instagram
9. Vertical Garden — Patrick Blanc in Madrid, Spain
French botanist and artist Patrick Blanc created this monumental vertical garden on the side of a building near the CaixaForum in Madrid. Covering the entire façade, it features hundreds of plant species arranged in layers of color and texture, turning the urban wall into a living ecosystem.

This is interesting. As a truck driver, I think I agree. American trucks should be bigger, more fuel efficient, and more modern.

Sometimes all you need to do is go out in the wild wearing a new fave shirt.
Ieri ho scoperto che "Google toglie le facce".
Cioè se hai una foto con persone, fai click su Google Photo e questo toglie le persone.
Nessun altro si sente un attimo inquietato da sta cosa?
Cioè, io ho in mente il lavoro certosino che serve tipo su GIMP per togliere un singolo dettaglio e poi completarlo in modo che non si noti.
Ma Google toglie le persone. Cazzo.
Vuol dire che capisce che sono persone, le rileva nel dettaglio le prende e le cancella e le sostituisce con uno spazio vuoto perfettamente ricostruito.
Tra l'altro come lo ricostruisce lo spazio vuoto? Da cosa? Da foto prese da internet? Con le probabilità?
Sono anni che non uso app Google e forse questo mi lascia un attimo con una prospettiva strana, non lo so, ma seriamente sta cosa mi fa impressione.

我們咖啡店很小，但盡用了店舖外面的空間，今天多雲，生意算可以，但當然可以更好，希望越來越好。🙏
Our cafe is very small. We have used the space outside our cafe as much as possible. Today is cloudy. Business is OK but certainly can be better. Hope that our coffee business will become better and better.

Kyiv is halfway to #ThirdRome.
The tsar remanifestation is deep, savage, and incoherent with reality.
The image is a satellite map highlighting a route from Kyiv, Ukraine, to Istanbul, Turkey. The map shows the countries of Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria, and Turkey, with Kyiv marked by a red pin and Istanbul by a white pin. A blue dotted line traces the route, passing through Moldova and along the Black Sea coast. The text "13 d" is displayed within a blue box along the route, indicating a 13-day journey. The map also includes the cities of Moscow, Warsaw, and Ankara, with Moscow marked by a black dot and Warsaw and Ankara by white dots. The Black Sea is labeled, and the surrounding countries are clearly delineated with borders.

No rulebook suggests using every rule and suggestion in the photograph to make it look amazing. Yet, before you go breaking them all, understand how to use them so you will know when to use them. Getting ideas from experienced photographers can help you see all the many ways in a camera; still, do not compare your work to theirs until you have been in the photography industry for a long time. #light #photography
The image features a blue, furry character with a mischievous expression, resembling a creature from the animated movie "The Grinch." The character has a wide, sly smile and a slightly raised eyebrow, conveying a sense of smugness or satisfaction. The background is a solid blue color, which complements the character's fur. At the top of the image, there is text in bold, black font that reads: "HOW SODI FEELS AFTER POSTING 'WHAT IF WAYLAND PEEED ON WINRAR AND THEN HAD SEX' FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME (IT'S STILL FUNNY)." The text is positioned against a white background, making it stand out clearly. The image also includes a watermark in the bottom left corner that reads "imgflip.com."

The image features a blue, furry character with a mischievous expression, reminiscent of the Grinch from the animated movie "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." The character has a wide, sly smile and a slightly squinted eye, conveying a sense of smugness or satisfaction. The background is a solid blue, which complements the character's color and enhances the focus on the character's face.
At the top of the image, there is text in bold, black font that reads: "How 'bugrock moment' mfs feel after pointing fun at a $15 phone from 2013 playing worse than a $5000 PC." The text is centered and occupies the upper portion of the image, providing context to the character's expression. The overall composition of the image is simple, with the character and text being the primary elements.

in reply to Futebola 🤪⚽ • • •O vídeo apresenta um indivíduo sentado em um ambiente escuro, vestindo uma camisa escura. Ele está falando e fazendo gestos com as mãos, indicando que está discutindo um assunto importante. Na parte inferior da tela, há uma imagem de um homem em um terno azul, com um texto em português que diz: "BOMBA! CAIU! EDNALDO RODRIGUES É RETIRADO DA PRESIDÊNCIA DA CBF APÓS FUROS DO PORTAL LEODIAS." Este texto sugere que o vídeo está abordando uma notícia surpreendente sobre a demissão de Ednaldo Rodrigues da presidência da Confederação Brasileira de Futebol (CBF) devido a vazamentos de informações do Portal Leodias. O fundo escuro e o texto em português indicam que o vídeo é direcionado a um público brasileiro, e a presença do logotipo do TikTok e do nome de usuário "[@]marqs_jansleiz" no canto inferior direito sugere que o vídeo foi compartilhado no aplicativo TikTok.
