I was browsing a few weeks of back posts on the yummy new blog musecrack, and this piece jumped out at me. The artist’s site is full of outstanding matte paintings and photomontage.
The image above is from the “sans nature, pas de futur” campaign at Fondation Nicolas Hulot. (You are supposed to be able to send an e-card with this and other images here, but it doesn’t work for me).

The NYT picked up this AP story originally from the Knoxville News Sentinel about bullseye-like “mini crop circles” on tree bark.
I admit, I’m puzzled, because
- that looks like an ear to me, not a bullseye or a crop circle.
- that looks like a moss to me, not a liverwort. Even zoomed in. But I hear it really is a liverwort.
I’d sarcastically observe that the hypothetical aliens aren’t going to get anyone’s attention by making itty-bitty crop circles on a tree in the middle of a forest. But this story got picked up by the NYT, so I guess I’d be wrong, wouldn’t I?
Those tiny aliens are so smart!
