Hwacheon County is home to an ice fishing festival in which thousands of competitors try to catch as many wild trouts as possible. This takes place in the Hwacheoncheon (stream) during nearly the entire month of January. The festival organizers claim there are roughly 1,000,000 visitors annually.
A small but excellent selection of exciting photos in the style of "stop a moment."
It is breathtakingly beautiful; fire and smoke are just fascinating! A must see post.
Pigs are awesome!

South Korea conducts annual winter exercises. More than 200 soldiers a month have received special military training.
Soldiers had a lot of things to go through, because these were truly Spartan conditions.
Annually, MAD club organizes the New Year charity race called Hoar Cross Downhill Soap Box. The race is run over a 1.25 mile course downhill, so all who want to participate in the race come here every time as well as thousands of visitors because the most unthinkable carts are involved in the competition.
It’s not a clever idea but this blonde girl clearly didn’t mind!
Good way to piss off the drivers though…
Yep, you can even do creative stuff with pencils!
This interesting and rather unusual residential complex was built in China.
The building consists of a set of blocks which are shifted by 2 meters horizontally. It was designed to gain additional space that was used for the construction of terraces.
As for me, it looks something like a LEGO building, only in real life.
Very weird, but funny and pretty well done.
Let’s see in one big picture some interesting facts and numbers depicting what occurred in 10 years, from 1999 to 2009.

Harbin, north-eastern China, is hosting its 26th international ice and snow sculpture festival.
This event is very unique and spectacular, especially during night with all the lights and colors.
Massive buildings have been carved from ice like palaces, pagodas… and even a sphinx!
Very amazing..
A 22-storey residential building had to be destroyed to make way for new real estate projects but due to technical reasons, the demolition failed. It happened on December 30 in Liuzhou, China.
The blast broke the building into two parts but only one collapsed while the other one remained standing… but leaning to one side!
More pics as well as one video await you inside the post.
A guy created himself a War Machine costume and I must say it’s a very nice work he did.
He says he used as a model the War Machine concept from illustrator Phil Saunders but also used some of the New Iron Man 2 Armor design in concept…
Take a look..
This is a really interesting selection of strange inventions that were presented in 2009.
There’s a bit of everything from the Bra Dryer to the hotel for fish!
More crazy inventions after the jump…
I put the word “buses” in quotes on purpose, because to call this buses is really difficult.
In short, there are different means of transport in the following of the post, in which Indian kids are taken to school. Poor kids ;)
Truly a unique collection, which includes images made in the period from the 1860’s to the 1930’s.
Don’t miss it, there are many interesting things ;)
A girl named Brody figured out how to stand out from the crowd of Santa Claus’ during their march in San Francisco.
And frankly, she did manage to stand out from the crowd, see for yourself.
Someone nature bestowed with beautiful eyes, but someone didn’t get lucky enough, but don’t worry it can be changed.
The girl whom you'll see after the jump isn’t delighted with her eyes, but she learned how to make them perfect for her. See below.
