Now I know that Van Gogh must have been able to astral travel. :D I saw your comment about him being mentioned in an article that relates to these images, so I'm not the only one who thinks so. :P

And how cool are the patterns around the equator! ♥

sartorias was talking about food coloring in water and how it swirls, and that got me remembering/realizing: fluid dynamics. So pretty. Anything that swirls and eddies like that (sand and snow, too, and smoke).
