Do you think it is a girl or a doll that is shown in the picture below? What is your opinion?
These photos are of a mobile homeless shelter that was designed by Paul Elkins. The shelter weighs 225 pounds empty and includes simple storage, a makeshift washroom, a kitchen, and a sleeping area. The roof acts as a rain catcher which collects free water. I think it is rather a good idea and well designed.
These are probably the most beautiful natural landscapes I’ve ever seen in my life. This is how I imagine paradise :) This beauty is situated in Croatia and is called the Plitvice Lakes. In 1949 the lakes were nationalized by the government and turned into a national park. The park was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1979.
The lakes are renowned for their distinctive colours, ranging from azure to green, grey or blue.
By the way, the park is one of the few places on the planet, where new waterfalls appear every year.
I never came across flying people. But looking at these photos I get a feeling of floating in the air myself. How about you?
The photos of these vintage postcards in this post are quite unusual. While the landscape appears quite normal, not all of the participants in the drawings are. They make for some very unusual postcards indeed.
This is very strange. A woman named Jodi was doing something called Extreme Aerial Bow fishing which involves literally shooting jumping carp out of the air. As these photos show, while she was Bow fishing, she certainly didn’t expect this one.
These photos show a 6-year-old Chinese boy who was born with 16 toes and 15 fingers. He will soon undergo surgery to have the extras digits removed. The boy has a total of 31 toes and fingers and has beaten the previous record of 25. The excessive number of toes and fingers is the result of gene mutation.
Gorgeous women make about 20 % of modern military in the USA. Other countries have similar statistics. To my mind women in military uniform look especially beautiful! Do you also think so?

Everybody makes mistakes, but when you drive a 13,500-ton and 315ft high machine, you’d better not make one!
Though, this is exactly what the driver of this huge bucket-wheel excavator did, a big mistake!
See what happened inside the post..
This is Steve Jobs' cheese head if you haven’t guessed. It looks pretty realistic, might even be used in some horror movies : ). The first picture was in our daily picdump before, but its sense wasn’t quiet understood. But thanks to the link sent by Ken A. we can see that this cheese head is a real food carving! Inside this post you can see the whole process of how it was cooked. Thanks Ken for sharing this cool cooking idea with us!
Inside this post you can find photos of extreme drought that hit China in the end of March. The ponds are dried-up. People have to stay in long lines to get water, and there are many other problems that the country is facing today.
Have you heard about infrared thermography? Thermal images allow you “seeing” the heat that is given off by different objects. Let’s count the heat of everyday objects that are used in every household. How do we count the heat? Temperature is shown by colors. The warmest color is white. Then goes yellow, orange, red and purple. The coldest color is black.

These are the works of photographer Aaron Nace. Who can be described as creative, unusual and diverse himself.
He makes some interesting works with an original approach and a good sense of humor.
Chinese people can even feel dust in the air. It’s difficult to breeze, so tourists and local citizens go out hiding their faces in scarves. Dust storms are seasonal phenomenon in Asia, and right now China is covered with “sand powder”. At the same time this orange dust makes photos exclusive, even close to retro style. I bet photographers have much work to do on open air :)
The Cebu in the Philippines has two jails. One of them is an old colonial prison overcrowded with prisoners who make their own rules there and where the guards won’t go if they are not at least 20 people in protected outfits and with snipers on the walls who keep an eye on inmates, in case they tried to pull something off.
Another prison: Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center is the opposite. It is highly protected, they have “fingerprint scanners, closed-circuit TV, and orange uniforms” which is built according to American jail model.
We will mostly talk about the second prison, but there are some interesting facts about Bagong Buhay Rehabilitation Center too.
The Miss World is a famous international beauty pageant. Let’s take a look at the last 20 winners of this contest. Each beauty-winner spent a year traveling around the world and representing the Miss World Organization. All girls are gorgeous and unique!

Sometimes cops can lose focus while taking a picture of a bustard. At least, this first photo is much unfocused, but it may have been done by Kentucky cops on purpose. Who knows? Cause this man was collared for sexual abuse of a minor.
We suggest an interesting game. Take a look at each photo and try to guess the person’s crime. The answers will be there for you under every snapshot.
Can you imagine a world with only 100 people left? I can’t. But if you look at this collection of posters, you’ll get the idea of what it would be like if our world had only one village with 100 citizens.
This wedding was a happy one. Everything was going so well until bride, groom and 80 dressed guests decided to take a photo at this beautiful South African spot. Smiling and joking around the wedding party posed for the photographer and… Well, the photo itself is truly memorable. It is such a non standard wedding photo that they will remember this day for the rest of their lives.
Obesity is a big problem that bothers people all over the world. According to different reports, about 38% of European children will be overweight, 20% of Chinese kids will have extra pounds and 50% of American children will be obese in 2010.
Afraid of such prognosis, China decided to fight with obesity in unique way. Besides many fitness studios parents can now send their overweight children to special diet camps where kids are trained by former militaries.
Official statistics says that if obesity could disappear on its own way, people would live 5-10 years longer.
