Very strange, they look like Pollack mated with Klee.
Happened across this subject today on Yahoo... the pictures are absolutely stunning in nature. If they didn't have an explanation after each one, a person would be hard pressed to figure out what exactly they were.

Very strange, they look like Pollack mated with Klee.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

They do look beautiful in a way (and thanks for posting the link, I really enjoyed them), but for me they were just reasonably easy photoshop jobs with some colour enhancement here and there of satellite images...or am I missing something?

EDIT: hmmm it's obviously not true for all of them... the bolivian rainforrest pic for instance...
