Artist Carl Warner

We discovered these landscapes a few weeks ago.

Look closely.  Notice anything unusual?  Every item in these works of art is edible.  We have had great fun looking at these landscapes and trying to figure out how the pictures were made.  For example, the mountains are bread and the sea is salmon. 

Carl Warner is a photographer based in London.  He is know for his "foodscapes", and you can see his work in many food ads.  Check out these sites.  There is duplication among the sites, but each one has a few unique images.  We especially enjoy the meat landscapes.

The Crafter is particularly inspired, but I haven't given her permission to buy large amounts of produce to create a forest.
