If you are as addicted as I am with looking at Bing's totally awesome photographs, there is now a way to actually create your own piece of art. Microsoft Research provides a nice little interactive app that gives users the power to create "Cliplets" -- a type of imagery that sits between stills and video,  including imagery such as video textures and "cinemagraphs". The app provides a simple, yet expressive way to mix static and dynamic elements from a video clip.

Try it out yourself ... I did by creating this creative shot of Multnomah Falls, OR:
