I admit, I have long been a fan of Banksy art. He is a very talented artist.
If you remember, his works were exhibited in the Bristol's City Museum and Art Gallery.
Here are some more of his amazing artworks.

“Rainbow” river (21 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       18 Aug 2009       20782
The Caño Cristales is a river of Colombia about 100 km long that is located in the Sierra de la Macarena.
It was called the “River of five colors” or the most beautiful river in the world. Normally, the Caño Cristales is indistinguishable from another river. However, for a short period each year, thanks to its red, yellow, green and blue algae, the river "flourishes" in a rainbow of colors.
It can be said that the river is the biological heritage of humanity.

This protest had place on 11 August in Portsmouth.
It gives an impression that the porters have no idea what their signs are really about and how contradictory they can get.
Well, let’s see the gallery.

Posted in PICTURES       18 Aug 2009       19915
Patrick Deuel was obese all his life. His loyalty to the fast food and malnutrition has played an important role in his illness.
Before the beginning of his treatment, 42-year-old Patrick weighed almost half a tonne. At one point, he had not left his house, or even his bed, in 7 years. He couldn’t move independently.
The only scale that could be used to weigh him was a livestock scale
He has already been hospitalized to have a gastric bypass surgery. But recently, he was again taken to hospital in serious condition with the same diagnosis - obesity.
Patrick wants to lose weight again and finally stop eating fast food.

Posted in PICTURES       18 Aug 2009       13909
A Costa Rican named Chito has a very unusual friend – Pocho the crocodile. Their unique friendship lasts already for 20 years and guess what, Pocho didn’t try to have Chito for lunch.
It all started when Chito saved the crocodile that was dying after being shot in the eye. Chito spent all his time with him giving him food and medicine and a lot of attention. Ten years later, he felt the crocodile was comfortable with him, let him approach and even touch, and then play in the water.
Now this amazing relationship attracts tourists’ attention all over the world. But Chito warns people that if somebody gets in the water while they’re playing, it could turn out very bad even deadly.

What about a 25 million dollar triplex penthouse apartment in New York ? (13 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       18 Aug 2009       175918

Yes, this is not a mistake, this triplex penthouse apartment located in a clock tower near the Brooklyn Bridge and the Port of New York really costs some modest $25 million.
As it is a penthouse in a tower clock, each facade has a working clock in a 14-foot-high round window. This means you always know what time it is, unless you forget to read the time backwards...
And as it is a triplex, there are 3 floors and a very large area. The first floor which is the main floor is 3000 square feet - it is composed of an open living room, a dining room and a kitchen with a 16-foot ceiling.
At the center of the space, there is a glass-walled elevator surrounded by a staircase that leads to 2 other smaller floors. The 2nd floor is 2300 square feet and consists of 3 bedrooms. Finally, the last floor is "only" 988 square feet - it is an open loft with a 15-foot ceiling.
Another interesting fact, ‘the price is more than double the highest price known to have been paid for a home in Brooklyn.’ Its creator, David Walentas, said that ‘the ClockTower apartment was not timed to the fluctuations in the real estate market, because the apartment was a one-of-a-kind space that would appeal only to a one-of-a-kind buyer...’ The flat offers of course a beautiful view over the city, the port, the bridges and the East River.
So, tempted?)
