Imagine for a moment. You go around the city, raise your head up and you see yourself on a huge screen and a huge hand that wants to touch you. Frightening? What would you do? ) The correct answer is - smile )) The joke turned out very good. Don’t forget to watch the video.  KidZania is a Mexican chain of family entertainment centers currently operating in 6 locations. Every KidZania is themed as a child-sized replica of a real city, including buildings, shops and theaters, as well as vehicles and pedestrians moving along its streets. In this city, children, aged 2 through 14, learn about the adult world, the value of money and work, by experiencing up to 70 different professions. Every “professional” activity lasts 30 minutes and parents don’t have the right to interrupt or to interfere in any other manner while their offspring is “working”. It proofed to be so successful that the other Kidzanias appeared throughout the world. Tokyo was the third city to create a replica city for children in October 2006. The first year of operations had 905,000 visitors, and has been keeping steady. So here are pictures from the Japanese KidZania!  Here are some incredible black and white pictures of New York in its golden age – 1940’s. Nightlife, music, energy, arts – all this mix is shown in pictures of the city that never sleeps!  It took Stan Munro (38) 6 years to build this toothpick city. He used 6 million toothpicks and 170 litres of glue. He can spend until 6 months to create a building and each of his creations is built to 1:164 scale. He works at the Museum of Science and Technology in Syracuse, New York (USA). Look after the jump the amazing works of one of the most patient men in the world.  Brothers Frederick and Gerrit Braun were fond of model railroads since their childhood and turned their hobby into a lucrative children's museum Miniatur Wunderland, which is annually visited by a huge number of tourists. Before the upcoming elections on Sept. 27, German political parties imagined the way the elections are going to happen and represented it in miniature in the toy town of brothers Braun.  It’s not common but nevertheless possible to see some least expected animals wandering around the city. On these shots, animals caught in the city, on a swing or even in a supermarket.  Seven photographers were making the photo-project about Detroit for 5 years. The whole 5 years they were taking pictures that show the evolving of the city. Especially nowadays when not many people are satisfied of what Detroit is. The pictures aim to uncover the city, not what it has been before or what it should be today, but simply the way it is. Here are the names of photographers who took part in this project: Corine Vermeulen-Smith, Mitch Cope, Clinton Snider, Mark Alor Powell, Antonio Gomez, Ingo Vetter, Scott Hocking.  This man is trying to walk barefoot wherever he can, even in the city. To be honest, I can understand somebody walking barefoot in the country, on the grass etc but not in the city. Just look at his feet, it seems that this dirt will never go away, it’s like his natural “outsole”. If I were in his shoes, (it was on purpose), I would be too disgusted to go to bed with my feet black like this.  These photos come from the series The flood in Minsk but I decided to post them separately. Very rare shots. Personally, I have never seen anyone riding a jet ski in a flooded city before. Really cool.  When in some places it is hot even to breath, in other places floods don’t stop. This is what happens in Minsk, Belarus. Heavy rains have literally turned the city into a “sea.” The water is everywhere: in subways, on the roads, in the buildings, in the means of transport. The rescuers had to help people to get off buses and cars because of it.   The 12th annual 'Boryong Mud Festival' started on Daecheon Beach in Boryeong City, South Korea on Saturday, July 11. The festival is free of charge and will last until July 19. As each year, this Mud Festival has already gathered thousands of people with visitors coming from all around the world to experience many fun events – mud bath, mud slices, mud wrestling or activities like escaping a mud prison…etc.  50 beautiful pictures of the world's cities. Stunning beauty. These are real masterpieces of HDR photography. You should see it. London, EnglandIt is one of the best flash animations that I’ve come across lately. It doesn’t have any deep meaning, you just launch the fireworks in the sky over the night city. A short 5 minute break at work   The sculptures were standing in one place only for a few minutes, then they disintegrated, ran to another place and transformed into something different. Willi Dorner, an Austrian choreographer, was behind all this performance. A very interesting idea!  What is a camouflage and how we can hide in a forest using it, we know that. But how an urban camouflage works. It’s quite difficult to hide oneself in the city ))   One more story about 2 cars that drowned in front of surprised passersby. No further details.  Atlantic Avenue Tunnel of the Long Island Rail Road is an abandoned railroad tunnel beneath Atlantic Avenue in downtown Brooklyn, New York City. When open, it ran for about 2,750 feet (830 m) between Hicks Street and Boerum Place. It is the oldest subway tunnel in the world. It opened on December 3, 1844 and was finished by January 1, 1845. Atlantic Avenue Tunnel was part of the first rail link between New York City and Boston, Massachusetts.  Do you still think that Mexico City is a poor dirty metropolitan area with a population of almost 20 million people? If your answer is yes, it means only one thing – you know nothing about this city?  |
