The Crystal Cathedral is a Protestant Christian megachurch in the city of Garden Grove, in Orange County, California, United States. The main sanctuary building was constructed using over 10,000 rectangular panes of glass and can hold 2,900 worshippers. Construction on the Crystal Cathedral began in 1977 and ended in 1980. The initial estimated cost of the church was $6 million, but the final cost was over $17 million (about $55 million in 2007 dollars).
Gabriel Dishaw specializes on ‘junk art’, meaning that all his sculptures are made from “discarded materials, as glass, scrap metal, plastic, and wood.”
Hats off to these incredible sculptures and to the talent of Gabriel. Real nice piece of work!

Yes, even in the animal world the taste for a good photography is highly developed ))

The first story is unique, the second one is just interesting, and the third one is very funny ))
Let's start with unique photos of the bat.
Wildlife photographer Kim Taylor wanted to capture the moment when a bat flies over the water surface of the pond and grabs some water drops with its tongue.
It was a daunting task. Rapid bats are difficult to spot in the darkness for human eyes.
After a long and careful preparation (see first photo), he managed to make these unique photos.
To kiss is one of the main ways to show feelings and they can be different.
Very cool and positive collection of pictures. Take a look.

Here are fans of X-Men who have either a poor imagination or simply saved on costumes ))
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!
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...
I already showed you how people live in the Chinese dorm here and there.
And here's another one similar. It’s crazy, it’s impossible to live like that! I think they should learn what the word “clean” means.

Well, it’s all right, sometimes you need to get away from all these state affairs, to distract yourself a little bit ))
Here is a collection of pictures on the theme: “If video games were realistic”.
I must say that some are pretty clever and its authors were inspired. Others are very simple but so true. But no matter what, I love unrealistic games ))
Some people have the gift to write funny stuff on social networks and Facebook is no exception. Facebook members can write such lame, stupid, awkward… statements and comments or sometimes it’s just a succession of comments or a particular situation which is funny. Anyway, here is a selection of funny Facebook moments. Enjoy!
Here’s another collection, which is a lot bigger than the previous one with different funny, smart, witty, stupid and ridicules T-shirts. But what makes it even funnier, it is people that wearing them ;))
