Make-A-Wish Foundation of America grants the wishes of children. They do it only for children with life-threatening medical conditions, every year they grant more than 300 wishes.
This time they turned a boy, Erik Martin, who’s having a liver cancer, into a superhero, namely, Electron Boy.
13-year-old boy was always dreaming of becoming a superhero and finally his dream came true. Hundreds volunteers participated in this event. Electron Boy had to fight against Dr. Dark and Blackout Boy to protect the people from Seattle and Bellevue.
Spider-Man called him and told about evil plans of Dr. Dark. All day long Electron Boy drove his DeLorean from one place to another, doing good deeds and fighting against evil Dr. Dark. It was Electron boy who won the battle!
Erik said that it was the best day of his life.
Meet Sheila Radziewicz, she was born without arms and kneecaps. Doctors weren’t sure that she could survive but they were certain that she could never walk. Not only she can walk, she’s also about to get her black belt in taekwondo.
Of course, it got 32-year-old Sheila a lot of courage and determination to achieve all this.
But she has a normal and successful life.
She left home when she was 19-years-old and got her driver’s licence 4 years later and since drives a special-built car with her feet. She works and of course, after having discovered taekwondo 3 years ago, she thoroughly follows her trainings.
Hats off and a big respect to this courageous woman. I am really glad for her. She shows that not only we can live while being disabled but also go for our dreams and achieve them.
Take a look at how New York has changed for the last 134 years. Compare the horizontal line in 1876 and 2013 when One World Trade Center (former name Freedom Tower), the main building of the new World Trade Center complex, will be completed. This building will be among the tallest buildings in the world.

After the little kitten hidden in a police car bumper, this time it is a baby seal that was stuck under a police car in Ocean Beach, California. He got out from the ocean, crawled for 50-60 yards on the grass area and got on the road. The police car that was passing by, stopped in the middle of the road so that any car couldn’t run the baby seal over. When the police car stopped, the animal got under it and had a nap for almost 4 hours.
Then the ‘Sea World Marine Animal Rescue’ team was called, they took out the baby seal and took him into the Sea World for 4-6 weeks until he gains a normal weight and force. Then they will free him into the wild.
Another “animal” happy ending :)))
These motion blurred photos try to show movement through time. The most difficult part of this kind of photography is to keep the subject in focus while blurring out the rest of the scene. This is accomplished by panning the camera to track the subject of interest while using a slow shutter speed.
Some of them are perfect lookalikes. It is just amazing and really funny :)

There have been lots of protests and riots in Athens, Greece lately. There has also been one dog that has been consistently spotted at these riots for the past two years. It is the same dog in each photo and it makes one wonder why it continues to take part in the riots. It could be that its owner is one of the demonstrators but no one knows for sure.

Take a look at what amazing things can be created from colorful paper. Everything you will see inside this post is designed by Russian creative studio People Too. You will understand that paper craft requires a lot of time and patience, but it’s worth it!
Troy Paiva travelled across the USA for over 2 years in a search for abandoned places. He makes gloomy but beautiful photos for the project Lost America.
This collection of photos is called “Snowy Fantasy”. It was created by Russian photographer Mihail Vershinin. When you go inside this post, use your imagination and share your opinion about the pictures in the comments.
Some photos are very suggestive ;)))

The work in a quarry is very dangerous. Many accidents and other bad things can happen here.
Somebody came up with this unusual idea of making the world more natural by using fake leaves. Will decorative plastic Leaf Tie save us? I am not so sure… But the idea is still cute.
