On a closer look, the massive structure you see may seem like a giant iceberg. Actually, it is a destroyed Sayano-Shushenskaya power plant situated in Siberia. Last year the transformer explosion caused huge flooding and human casualties in this plant. The plant restoration may take more than four years. Without this plant, the area can just freeze out.  Two opposite and powerful elements that are dangerous and helpful at the same time. Let’s see the pictures.  ‘Portraits of Power’ is a photo project of Platon, a staff photographer working for The New Yorker. He took great portraits of various presidents, prime ministers, dictators… during a meeting of the United Nations in New York. Watch them, it’s interesting, and maybe you will learn some stuff…   One of the largest solar power plants in the world is situated near Berlin, Germany. If measured with football fields, its surface covers more than 200 fields. Its electric power is of 53 megawatts. A spectacular view opens from the air.  Finnish Power Truck Show lasted just one day, and there were no tents, rock concert or fireworks... There were only about two dozens of painted vehicles from Finland and some others from the neighboring Sweden. The vehicles were customized and painted especially for this occasion. However, there are no "show-trucks" that were built specially for the exhibition and are not functional. All of them are operational. So check it out. There’s a lot to look at.  An armor-piercing shell is a type of ammunition designed to defeat the thick armor carried on warships, tanks… The photos are very impressive, look at those impacts!  Russia's woodpeckers are so severe that... See after the jump.  Nick had a very bad luck and such a situation would break a lot of people but not him. In 1998, he got in a terrible car accident, resulting with a broken spine that put him into a wheelchair. Instead of complaining about his fate, he decided to do something about it and he did it great. This is really a man with a steel willpower. And his story can be really inspiring for many people in other difficult situations who think that their life is over and who don’t know how to start over. Now let's look at the whole story in pictures.  Look at this idyllic little cottage situated at an isolated spot (as it may seem) with the blue sky above and 5 minutes from the sea. Would you like to buy it? I’m sure there are people who would be glad to have it, but not until they know all the details. To see where this cottage is situated, go inside the post.  This man deserves the greatest respect. Having no hands, he didn’t go on the streets to beg but decided to make a living by working. It is such people that should inspire us when it seems that everything in life is wrong and you feel there is nothing you can change...  Nature always finds its way ;)  Nature is unpredictable and it’s the most powerful force in the world. But even if its force is destructive and scary it can be also incredibly beautiful. Let’s look at an amazing compilation of pictures after the jump.  Just look at these faces! Can you imagine to what point they are tensed! No wonder, they lift such heavy barbells and it’s not that easy.  Here is the fleet of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization which aims to maintain peace and order in the world. Very powerful and really impressive   What would happen if everyone had super power? Photoshoppers tried to answer this question in pictures. Look.  The incredible XSR48 is a luxury powerboat of £1.2m that was inspired for both its performance and styling from the cars of Formula 1 and the best supercars that exist. With a total of no less than 1600hp from its two bi-turbo 11.3L diesel engines, XSR48 can accelerate from 75 up to 90 knots. It is described as “one of the world’s most technologically-advanced and safest high speed craft”. Ultra-modern boat is equipped with everything that you need only the owner - including the entertainment system with four 12-inch LCD-displays, microwave oven and freezer. The British company XSMG Marine plans to produce only 100 of these boats a year.  Prypiat is an abandoned city in the zone of alienation in northern Ukraine, Kiev Oblast, near the border with Belarus. It was home to the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant workers. The city was abandoned in 1986 following the Chernobyl disaster. Its population had been around 50,000 prior to the accident.  Huge thing! Very impressive, my jaw just dropped. Here’s some features (thee rest read in Wiki) Contract Date: 29 March 1988 Crew size: 5,617 (including air wing) Meals served daily: 16,600 Number of compartments: 2,700 Weight of anchors: 30 long tons (30 metric tons) each ... Cost: $4.5 billion; projected service life: 50 years  Millions of people died because of that. Beautiful photos of powerful invention that brought tears and sadness.  |
