If You Could Photograph Your Dreams, It Would Look Something Like This Turkish Artist’s Images
Istanbul-based digital artist Hüseyin Şahin doesn't just blend photos together; He blends reality and fantasy worlds to create spectacularly surreal scenes.
Though his craft of layering multiple photos is practiced by many, his unique take on fantasy photo manipulation pushes the limits of human imagination, and results in beautiful landscapes that look like your wildest dreams - or your most intense nightmares, depending on how you would feel about crossing a wobbly bridge between two hot air balloons mid-flight.
Şahin goes by the handle art.side on Instagram, and has so far amassed almost 55 thousand followers of his creative ideas. Some of his amazing photos incorporate elements of folklore, such as a photo of the Maiden's Tower in Istanbul featuring an underwater woman nearby, a reference to the ancient Greek legend of Hero and Leander, two young lovers who drowned in the Bosporus. While another unique artwork portrays a child in war-torn Syria.

This one is absolutely stunning! I wish things like that existed in real life! Can't stop staring.
It would be a horrible torture to the whale trapped in such a tiny tank. I feel uneasy when I look at this graphics.

I like this but the more I look the sadder I get. the whale looks like it's in captivity.
I love this one with the whale and amazing colors!! If only this were possible ...sigh

That would be so boring. I would rather find a hole to another dimension, or even just a gigantic rain forest.

Ooh, this is an interesting sensation. What is it? Its a sort of tingling in my... well I suppose I better start finding names for things. Lets call it a... tail! Yeah! Tail! And hey, what's this roaring sound, whooshing past what I'm suddenly gonna call my head? Wind! Is that a good name? It'll do. Yeah, this is really exciting. I'm dizzy with anticipation! Or is it the wind? There's an awful lot of that now isn't it? And what's this thing coming toward me very fast? So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like 'Ow', 'Ownge', 'Round', 'Ground'! That's it! Ground! Ha! I wonder if it'll be friends with me? Hello, Ground!
"And since this is not a naturally tenable position for a whale, this poor innocent creature had very little time to come to terms with its identity as a whale before it then had to come to terms with not being a whale any more..." :)
I'm a painter and I just don't know what is with the whales and us , what kind of a bond :) This is my painting of a childhood dream . Love them all btw 8-2-58d6c0...58600e.jpg
So this is how the whales will pass away from the Earth. The oceans will dry up and the whales will leap from the dried sands of the ocean beds and dissolve into sand on the winds themselves.

I think I know where he got his inspiration for a couple of his pieces. This is Crystal Mill. A 1892 built wooden powerhouse located on an outcrop above the Crystal River in Crystal, Colorado. 3-58d6d84cbabed.jpg

My mind just doesn't want to let this in. It hits like big bell..." tonggggggg"

I was thinking the same thing. All the others I can see immediately what's going on but this one just looked like a photo of the Skeleton Coast, and it's beautiful as it is.

I put a positive spin on it myself: In the little boy's dream, he has control over the planes that bomb his world and can, therefore, make them stop

When I fly in my dreams I don't have wings. I just push off the floor or ground and fly or float and it's so hard to teach the people around me how to do this.

Wow I had a dream last night about a tiger escaping a truck that flipped and it ate a few dogs and people and I just could not get that riffle to shoot unless I held the sight down . I finally shot it dead and then I cried.

They are great, have done similar stuff for fun not knowing it was art ! GrSa-59b59...c923dc.jpg
If anybody dream like this. They must be sick in the head. Poor animals. What did they do. A whale in a dessert? Sick
I wonder what song that best describes this kind of fantasy, anyone?
