I was looking at some pics offered as "wallpaper" online and found these two timely ones:

a city buried in snow

a clock on fire

Nice find! I like both but especially the clock on fire - as Laura says: "time's a-wastin'. Can't get more visual than that! :)
 
Great pics !


Here they are:

There's also great pictures by this artist: http://ilikethisart.net/?p=7259

“The artist—who passed away in 2008—was well-known for his startlingly realistic collages of
urban scenes, often animated with a kind of end-of-the-world, scifi-inflected festivity.
Impact craters in the centers of wrecked cities share chaotic page space with Dalí-esque visions of giant human breasts in the sky.

Yes, fantastic and frightening at the same time imo.

I just can't imagine a world where snow and ice will just pile up non-stop until buildings become buried relics.

But it seems that this is what is lurking around the corner, at least for part of the world.

Thanks for sharing JGeropoulas.
 
If you go to Canada and live there some winters you will see that the Ice Age is there almost 7 moths by year. :) Temperatures can go dawn minus 40 and sometimes minus 50 with the force of the wind. Maybe I miss Canada, that's why I love so much this picture of the bear. Maybe I am a bear myself. ;) But this wallpaper is beautiful because you don't see any human, you can feel the silence, the time has stopped, there is no movement, nothing, just this long white night.... And there is the solitude of the bear.

Indeed. I noticed that one room there have power where an entire city is showing no power, and that's indicating a survivor, which may have attracted the bear for a possibility of food.

I used to go to Canada - Montreal and other parts of Quebec - on business trips when I was living and working in New York City. I remember several times in the winter it was about minus 40. That is bone chilling cold!

You can say that, it is bone chilling.
