It's only a matter of time before someone uses one of Montreal photographer Benoit Paillé's "Alternative Landscapes" as an album cover.

Done entirely without digital trickery, they're the result of Paillé trekking into the depths of a deserted forest at night, suspending an incandescent one metre by one metre light in the air and then shooting the surrounding landscape. According to the photo set's Flickr page Paillé "hates landscape", so it's good that his alternative, artificial vision of it is so utterly warm and beguiling.
