An artist has used 26 different types of fruit and vegetables to recreate London's skyline as an edible landscape.
Carl Warner and his team of five model makers spent three weeks working on the artwork.
One of their main challenges was keeping the fruit looking fresh for the final images, Mr Warner said.
The image was specially commissioned by the UK's Good Food channel. For more information visit www.goodfoodchannel.co.uk.

Pretty cool, aye.

It makes me think of Narnia. Imagine if that place was real. I'd never want to leave.
Check out the rest of the photos in drw25's photostream on Flickr. They're amazing.
When cataloguing the music in my iTunes library and I come across a genre I'm not sure of, I do the same thing and add 'pop', 'rock' or 'punk' where necessary.
