The World Cup vs. AIDS Awareness Campaign (7 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       2 Jul 2010       4920

It seems that many people who attend the World Cup matches don’t know how to use condoms. At least these free condoms distributed by AIDS Awareness Campaign activists before the match Netherlands vs. Slovakia were misused by many football fans. How sad…

American Long-Married Couples (12 pics)

As Long As We Both Shall Live" is a documentary created in the USA. It researches the marriage situation in America for the last three generations. All marriages that are shown in this project have the same feature. They all last for at least 40 years!

Can you imagine being happy with your second half for this period of time? Personally I would love to marry once and forever though it often sounds like a fairy tale nowadays.

Amazing Examples of Hyper Realistic Paintings (18 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       1 Jul 2010       23237

These are paintings from different authors and they look as if they were photographs.

I know that for many it is easier to buy a digital camera and make photos but as for me, it takes a big talent to approach to such realism as this, to be able to recreate in perfect, coherent details what you see. A camera is an easy way for people who don’t care, for an artist, it is the meaning of being an artist.

Hats off to all of them for these wonderful artworks!

Bees are fascinating insects. Not only do they pollinate all of our plant life but they also make honey, sometimes referred to as the nectar of the Gods. These photos show you exactly how that honey is obtained.

Light Pillars (26 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       1 Jul 2010       14728

This is probably one of the most beautiful atmosphere phenomena. Light pillars can be observed in cities with many different colorful light sources. The main requirements needed for light pillars to appear are low temperature (at least 20 C below zero), wind absence and a big number of ice crystals in the atmosphere. Ice crystals should be plate shaped. They float in the air close to the ground reflecting light back downwards. The whole scene looks beautiful and fantastic.

A couple of chairs, a table, lights and storage for your papers are the parts of a nice portable office called Kruikantoor. This invention created by Dutch designers can be useful for businessmen who travel a lot. It’s compact and doesn’t require much room. At the same time it is comfortable and nice looking.

 

Take a look at another Egg Shape Mobile Unit to compare with Kruikantoor.

I saw many different installations created using people as “paints”. But American artist Daniel Dancer did much more than this. His art combines latex paints and people to make giant images on the Earth. He sometimes invites over 4,000 volunteers to implement his idea into life. This sky art is stunning!
