We will see today the aging timeline of popular American Actress and (considered by many as) one of the most beautiful women in the world: Angelina Jolie.
As far as I’m concerned, I wouldn’t say she’s one of the most beautiful women in the world, but I’ve got to admit, she’s always been kinda hot.

An interesting experiment took place in a Romanian prison for women. The inmates received a total of 6 Canon PowerShot cameras and were taught how to use them. During the first two months, 14.000 photos were taken!
This unique experiment led to the superb photos you can enjoy through this post.
An interesting post for those who love big numbers…
These guys went fishing like they always did. They took their car with them, but unexpectedly their vehicle became their “fishing rod”…
This lonely paid phone booth was once working. It spent decades in the middle of nowhere, being left in the desert for some unknown reasons. It had its own number: (760) 733-9969. Campers who happened to find this phone located 8 miles from the nearest paved road used to answer the incoming calls from everywhere or make calls themselves.
Don’t try to call its number today though, because the National Park Service decided to rip the lonely phone booth out, that was reportedly set up in the 1960s to provide phone service to miners and other people. An independent film appeared in 2000 devoted to this phone booth. But the year 2000 was also its end, as this was the year it was finally removed.
It’s like a Kinder surprise… except the fact that a normal egg is not supposed to have a surprise in it!
This is an interesting collection of photos of American children from the beginning of the 20th century. They don’t look like modern kids, do they?
British Defense Secretary Liam Fox called Afghanistan “a broken 13th-century country” when he visited it. His words drew fire on him. This happened not because he was wrong, but because he was way too blunt. Actually, Liam Fox wasn’t the first person to call Afghanistan a medieval country. There were people who labeled local inhabitants “barbarians with a 1200 A.D. mentality”. Many people really think that Afghanistan is an ungovernable land with chaos that would never make it out of the Middle Ages.
Still there were times when Afghanistan was a nice country where women could pursue careers in medicine, where people could go to the movies and work on the factories. This country used to produce many goods. It had a government that was able to undertake national infrastructure projects. People believed they had a future, but all their hopes were destroyed by 30 years of war.
We have here an excellent compilation of aerial pictures of different airport runways from every corner of the world.
Most of these photos are truly beautiful!

This series of high speed photographs from Scott Linstead is amazing, each picture gives you the impression that the animals are frozen in time.
These shots required a lot of hard work, patience, knowledge and good photography skills.
Fashion can be really weird sometimes. For example, Patrick Mohr thinks that his models don’t have to be sexual or good-looking. It is enough to just make them looking bald and add beard on their faces. This is what Mohr did for Berlin Fashion Week. It looks shocking.
When Gustavo Villafane was 9 years old, he was hit by a train. The boy lost both his legs and one of his arms. Today he is one of the world’s best wheelchair basketball players. Now Gustavo and his Argentine teammates are preparing for the Paralympic Games that will be held in Venezuela this fall.
I am so jealous of pilots and birds, as they can see such beauty every day, and I can’t. All these beautiful photographs were taken by George Steinmetz during his expeditions to different places around the world. He is well known for his exploration pictures of deserts, different cultures and mysteries. George has many awards for photography, and he is truly a genius photographer because he took these amazing and incredible pictures while piloting a motorized paraglider.
These submarine caves, also called vertical caves, located in the Bahamas are amazingly beautiful.
Too bad they are so dangerous to explore, because they would make perfect diving spots.
I would have loved to dive in these caves but I guess I’ll have to leave it to professional divers…
Actually, some “nuts” started practicing rock-boarding long time ago, back in the 1990s. This sport is called the hardest one. It requires skis or snowboards that are used to ski a lope of rocks. It is very dangerous and extreme to downhill the rubble slope in a straight line, but there are many riders who love rock-boarding and can’t live without it anymore.

Since many dogs have long fur, their owners feel ok about giving their pets a haircut. Sadly, some of these dogs just cannot say, “Hey, please, noooooo!” before they start looking so funny or get the worst haircut ever.

This image is some photo collage from Tsunehisa Kumura's Photomontages, which was published in 1979. How something like this is possible without Photoshop ?¿

Can you guess what happened to this yacht? I will just say that nobody was hurt here, but to understand what was going on you need to see the second photograph. This story took place near the shore of South Africa.
