Photo Hunt - Artificial

This weeks Theme is Artificial
Go to Tnchick.com to participate

I had to go for the wiki term on this to help me out.

Artificial is something that is not natural. The term can signify something that is a sham, a substitute for the real thing. For example, artificial turf and artificial sweeteners are not natural in origin and are made by humans.

The word "artificial" is derived from the Latin artificiālis, "contrived by art," and is etymologically related to artifice. Something artificial can be made by human skill, work, or art.[1][2]
