:biggrin: OK, sorry, couldn't resist on the title!

It all started with my first round of ice fracture images a few years ago, one day I started messing around with the image in Photoshop, making a copy layer, flipping it horizontally, flatten image, copy, flip that part, etc, etc. Well, after a while, I had a file that was sized to about 40"x50" at 300 dpi,and some psychedelic images!!!!

They honestly lose a little of the effect at this size I'm afraid, but when zoomed in on screen, you can really see some cool "fractal" looking shapes and designs. I so VERY badly want to make a large print of one of these someday! :biggrin: Enjoy, and I take no responsibility for anyone feeling woozy or having motion sickness!! :wink:

PS, here is the original image this collage came from: Original Ice

Definitely psychedelic! This has a jimmy hendrix thing going on. Very cool. If you print it, it needs to go on black velvet!

Dude! Stop talkin', turn on the black light, and pass that fattie my way!

Just to change things up a little, one from Lower Antelope Canyon.

EDIT: OK, weird. I posted an image, but now it's gone. Oh well, I'll try in another post

You ought to wallpaper your room with this stuff. I'd be curious how long you'd last in there! :biggrin:

Wow, you really have flipped out! Oh wait, you're talking about the images :razz:. Actually, I like these type of images. I've messed around with this sort of thing a lot, though never to this extreme. Usually, I just use two or four images...maybe 8 if I'm really feeling crazy.
