Robotic Vacuum Cleaner Art

According to this site, a "photographer attached colored LEDs to his robotic vacuum cleaner and then captured its path using a slow shutter speed on his camera. Here are some of the photo results."

Beautiful photos of leaves, flowers, and fruit frozen in time.

The Hot Air Balloon

This is just a portion of a beautiful strip cartoon I've title "The Hot Air Balloon". I don't know its real title. The only credit I can find is the copyright 2012 Imgur, LLC. But you need to go to Locke's Suppe and see the entire story. You'll end up with a smile on your face - I guarantee.

Snow Rollers

A snow roller is a rare meteorological phenomenon in which large cylinders of snow are naturally formed as chunks of snow are blown along the ground by wind, picking up material along the way, in much the same way that the large snowballs used in snowmen are made. But unlike snowballs made by people, snow rollers are typically cylindrical in shape, and are often hollow. The inner layers, which are the first layers to form, are weak and thin compared to the outer layers and can easily be blown away, leaving what looks like a doughnut or Swiss roll.

Snow rollers happen with the combination of lying snow and high wind speeds, mostly in North America and Northern Europe, and they can be as small as a tennis ball or they can be as large as two feet across – depending on how strong the wind is and how smooth the surface of the snow is. Gravity can also assist snow roller formation. An inclined surface often needs just a little shove from the wind to get snow rollers in motion.
