The title sums it up pretty well, so, no need to tell more, let’s just take a look at the pictures…
War really is the worst thing ever!
It’s the season of Fashion Week and models don’t stop presenting designers’ new collections on stage but what’s happening backstage?
Well, that’s what you will see in this post.
Dominique Gisin of Switzerland crashed heavily in the women's downhill at Vancouver Olympic Games.
These are the photos of her fall and of some other dangerous moments.
I’m sure you’re wondering who’s living in such a snowy and isolated place?
Well actually, not a lot of people and it’s certainly not their first home as it is for their work!
It’s in fact a meteorological station which is located in the Giant Mountains, in the north of the Czech Republic.
Sulawesi is one of the four larger Sunda Islands of Indonesia and is situated between Borneo and the Maluku Islands.
Huge deposits of gold have been found 250km of the capital in the Bombali District in 2008 and since then, it’s the gold rush and hundreds of people go there hoping to get rich!
Children quit school and work instead for 10-20 dollars a day, which I think is not too bad over there..
Here are some sad black and white photos showing a bit how things happen over there…
This 21 year-old Indian is fond of lizards. He loves them so much that he often puts them on his face and even in his mouth. Gross…
He is well known in his village and people like to watch him play with them. Because of all that, they called him ‘Lizard Boy’.
This technique is fascinating. It’s an amazing way of decomposing an action.
As the thing you want to capture has to be in motion for the sequence photography to work, this technique is mostly used with sports.
You’ll find here some great shots using this technique.
Enjoy!

We have here some beautiful pictures of Odin, a white Bengal tiger eating meat underwater. These photos are a bit old now but we have the complete collection..
Photograph Fernando Pinto took these shots in Six Flags Discovery Kingdom an amusement and animal park located in Vallejo, California.
It’s truly impressive, a real show in itself. I’d love to see that for real.
The famous landmark in the Hollywood Hills area of Mount Lee in Los Angeles was created in 1923 as an advertisement.
Unfortunately for the advertisers, this sign was a frequent target of pranks and vandalism at that time.
Luckily for us, there’s always someone to take a photo, even at that time…
So let’s see now how the sign looked like when it was pranked or vandalized…
If you don’t know who is EBM (epic beard man), after viewing these pictures and the video, you’ll get it.
The EBM has become popular on the net in the blink of an eye, so now he is a new baked internet meme.
Everything started with this video featuring a 67-year-old white man wearing a T-shirt that reads “I AM A MOTHERFUCKER” having “a heated argument fueled by racial ignorance resulting in a physically violent confrontation” with a 50 year-old black man.
And as this is a very popular meme, so of course there are now lots of photoshopped images floating around the internet. Now let’s look at the video and the pictures.
“After the black man’s nose is broken, he says “bring an ambulance” which has been misheard as both “bring M&M’s” and “bring Amber Lamps” due to a combination of his dialect and facial injury. Amber Lamps has also come to be used as a pseudonym for the girl sitting next to the black man in the video.” [knowyourmeme]
P.S. The video is rather violent with blood, not for the eyes of kids.
These photos are of eight year old Kumar Paswan from a remote Indian village who has an astonishing medical condition. He was born with a parasitic twin. The twin stopped developing in the womb before it separated fully from Kumar and has left him with seven limbs. He has launched an appeal for the thousands of pounds needed for an operation to remove the parasite.
These photos by Martin Rietze look like the landscapes from another planet. They were, of course, taken right here on planet earth. From beautiful light shows provided by volcanoes to strange rock formations, these photos seem to be from some alien planet.
In this selection, you will see all types of fans, from the weirdest to the funniest, let alone their outfits. It feels that these people did their homework in preparing to the Olympics.
The grandma in these photos is really trying to be part of the punk generation. I don’t know how successful she is being but she does appear to be having a good time. Nevertheless, I don’t think she will be having her grandkids over for dinner this Sunday.

The beautiful and sexy princesses in these photos are from another time. A time of fairy tales; When handsome princes, dragons, and monsters ruled the world. But it is the sexy princesses who steal the show and win our hearts.
Snow White
Do you want to see how Filipinos are saving themselves in hot weather - they take a shower (as we all do, you’ll say), but this is not a simple shower, it is the best shower in the world!
The computer case in these photos is rather unique. It has been modified to the extent that I couldn’t even tell that it was a computer case at first… So if you have a need to disguise your computer case, try using a girl in a bikini. :)
The mountain in this photo is known as Cal Orcko. It is famous for the more than 5000 dinosaur tracks that can be found on the side of the mountain. Scientists believe that over 68 million years ago, thousands of dinosaurs flocked at Cal Orko in search of water and food.
What do you think this is?
I’ll give you a hint: it’s an object.
Can’t figure out? The answer is inside the post.

These original photographs by Artur Celes represent some of the most amazing pictures of insects and small animals I have ever seen. The detail is truly remarkable and leaves little to the imagination. The photographer who took these photos truly has a gift.
