Logic Behind Numbers

Ever wondered why 1 is 'One' and 2 is 'Two'...?

The reason is in the number of angles the numerical image has. See the pic below. Each angle on the diagramatic image of the number is marked with 'o' to show the angles. Of course zero has zero angles.

Food + Landscape = Foodscape!!

The British photographer Carl Warner created a series of photos using only food to make the scenery. “Foodscapes” (union of the words food and landscape) show underwater caves, forests, beaches at sunset, and even waterfalls, using fruits, vegetables, cheese, cold meat, pasta, and other grains.
Click on the pics to see the bigger image - it's worth it!

In this forest, trees are made of broccoli, with peas hanging as fruits and the highways are paved with cumin. The grass is made of herbs and the mountains, of bread. Clouds made of cauliflower, decorate the sky


The edible ingredients in this rural scene of Italian inspiration include a small wagon made of lasagna slices, fields of pasta, and clouds of mozzarela. Trees of pepper, parsley and basil complete the scene, in the distance, a small village made of cheese.


This cavern is made of marine crustaceans. The rocks are made of bread, but, at the deep of the sea, they are made of cauliflower. To make the tri-dimensional sensation in the pictures, each scene is composed on a 1,2 x 2,4 m square table.


Rice, coconut, many grains and a sky made of purple cabbage compose this bucolic “landscape”.


Trees made of cabbage leaves, rocks of sweet potato, the narrow canyon made of bread and the sky made of purple cabbage.


The red sea of this beach, at sunset, is made of salmon slices. The rocks are made of potato and bread. A small boat made of beans completes the scene.


Shitake mushrooms, sesame and other grains


The rainbow design on the ceramic plate, was perfect behind the forest of vegetables and potato


Cheese houses, awnings and baskets of macarroni, grains and vegetables form this small village set.


Italian culinary delight with many vegetables and pasta. Houses (through the window) are made of cheese.


At first view, it is difficult to notice that the mountains are made of bread...


Creativity is impressive, balloons made of fruits and vegetables, trees made of broccolis, rocks of potatoes, Farm fields of corn and cuccumber, city of cheese, with a carrot tower, and so on...

In this alpine scene, Grissini biscuits and Parma ham turn into a wheelbarrow that will be pulled by the way of salami with trees of bacon around it.


In this sight, the main ingredients are: Ham: sky, mountains, waterfall and river; Bread: rocks Grissini biscuits: house and trapiche; Salami: brickworks


In this alpine scene, the stars are the cold meat. Grissini biscuits and Parma ham turn into the sleigh pulled by the mountains of snow made of other cold meats, as smoked turkey and Bologna. The Parma ham is also located on the “pines”.
