Most successful hyperrealistic sculptures were created by Ron Mueck, Evan Penny, Jamie Salmon, Duane Hanson, Sam Jinks and Adam Beane.

Oasis of the Seas is a cruise ship in the fleet of Royal Caribbean International.
Oasis measures 225,282 gross tons, several times larger than Titanic. The ship's power comes from six marine diesel engines producing 18,860 kilowatts each and three similar 12-cylinder engines each producing 13,860 kilowatts. Oasis of the Seas will offer passengers features such as two-story loft suites and luxury suites measuring 1,600 sq ft (150 m2) with balconies overlooking the sea or promenades. The ship features a zip-line, a casino, a mini-golf course, four swimming pools, volleyball and basketball courts, theme parks and nurseries for children.
I will definitely make a one-month tour on one of such cruise ships. It must be fantastic!
Two Russian traceurs in Saint Petersburg made an incredible jump from a nine-story building (35 feet high) to land on mattresses of the five-storey building roof (22 feet high).

Hats off, guys!

No one really can explain what the point is but it looks kinda funny :)

These unique prints from the Pennington Photo Studio were accidentally discovered just recently.
At the beginning of the last century, two photographers William Pennington and Lisle Updike traveled to four states: Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona, photographing the Indians.
It is these prints that you are going to see inside the post. Beautiful photographs and interestingly enough, they have an excellent quality. Look.
