Unconventional Books for Children. Part 2 (25 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       12 Mar 2010       17098

I am sure that most of us imagine children’s books in colorful and bright covers that teach kids to behave and respect others. However modern and even some of the old books are concentrated on other things like sex and drugs; authors even use curse words to get your attention. We have already posted examples of unconventional books. This is another collection of pictures that is devoted to so-called inappropriate books for children.

Jets not only fly transporting passengers from one country to another. Airplanes are also used like hotels and even houses. It looks pretty exotic to stay in such a luxurious jet room, doesn’t it?

Leon Botha, a Human Alien (25 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       11 Mar 2010       115218

There is such a rare and terrible disease Progeria - premature aging at an early age.

One gene mutates and affects the whole organism. Those born with progeria typically live about thirteen years, although many have been known to live into their late teens and early twenties and rare individuals may even reach their forties.

The disorder has a very low incidence and occurs in one per eight million live births.

Here’s Leon Botha, a guy who has progeria and who’s already 24 years old.

No one knows how many years he will live.

It’s not funny, but he really has this alien look…

Russians Used To Build Iron Pterosaurs (86 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       11 Mar 2010       16968

 

This flying-sailing “monster” was built by Russians in the former USSR. At those times Russians seemed to know how to make water planes look like huge iron “pterosaurs”. I wonder how safe this tank-ship-bird must have been. See more pictures after the break.

The photos of the motorcycle crashes in this post are truly amazing. It is a miracle that anyone of these riders made it through them alive and some even walked away unscathed. Hats off to the guys who ride these dangerous machines, they are fearless.

In this post you can see a historical photo chronicle of Japanese attack on American naval station Pearl Harbor. Even though it happened long time ago and there are many movies devoted to these attack, these photos are more impressive and authentic as they were taken at those times.

Children Soldiers (19 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       11 Mar 2010       11501

 

This is a series of photos taken by American photojournalist Steve McCurry. It is sad to see children whose destiny was to take guns and fight instead of playing with toys. These children are robbed of the most wonderful time in their lives – their childhood…

The Largest Ice Labyrinth in the World (20 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       11 Mar 2010       5958
The world’s largest ice labyrinth is built in American city Buffalo. It took over 2,200 ice blocks to finish it. Their total weight is about 2,204 lbs. City authorities are worried about the possibility of a flood in case this labyrinth begins to melt. That is why a few powerful water pumps are built nearby. Take a look at these photos, just don’t lose your way back : )

When I read an interesting fantasy or science fiction book I always try to imagine in what atmosphere it was created. Have you seen American writers’ interiors? Can you imagine their life style? I thought that writers were surrounded by silence and locked in an empty room until I saw these photos. Take a look!

This is a compilation of the most awesome hyperreal paintings made by different painters. And it’s the greatest artwork I’ve ever seen.
Each of them looks like a real photo maybe brushed a little or retouched, but they definitely don’t look like a painting.

The interesting thing is that she is already 100 years old.
A horn started to grow on Zhang Ruyfang forhead last year and now it reached the length of about 6 centimeters..

Titanic Made From Paper (27 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       10 Mar 2010       9465

This ship model (scale 1:200) is built according to drafts and different photos found in books and at online resources (it took 2 years and 2 months to build it). The main efforts were aimed at ship functionality. Punch cards, whatman paper and other materials were used in building this model. All ship details were covered with water-resistant varnish due to what this paper model isn’t soaked in water (you can notice this on the photos). You can distantly navigate ship steering wheel and screw propellers. This model is illuminated by bulbs and light-emitting diodes. All electric equipment feeds from 6-volt accumulators set below waterline. Smoke generators are set in flues (nichrome wire is soldered in rosin). Technical problems didn’t allow taking quality pictures of the smoke, but you can still see it on some photos. All windows and portholes are covered by varnish tape in the soap-bubbles style. Jackstays and other similar ropes were made from threads; sometimes fishing lines and wire were used. The ship has 16 compartments and 11 decks. Faucets, boats and anchors are operating. I just hope it won’t drown like his “big brother”…

Psychiatric Hospitals Not Like the Others (38 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       10 Mar 2010       51166

These pictures of psychiatric institutions in Serbia and Kosovo were made by photographer George Georgiou as a part of project “Between the Lines.” This project talks about the aftermath of the NATO conflict with Serbia. 
The author says that he was surprised to see apart from mentally ill people, people with physical disabilities who have nothing to do in these mental hospitals. The pictures also show the lack of medical care and rehabilitation for these people. In short, the photos are very sad and difficult to look at…
