Unique Prints From the Past (16 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       24 Nov 2009       7338
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.

The First Space Blogger (22 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       24 Nov 2009       4587
Russian astronaut Maksim Surayev aboard the International Space Station started his blog which is becoming more and more popular. Mostly, because of his original writing and the interesting things and weird pictures he’s talking about. All of this is mixed with humor and makes this blog unique.
Recently, he was talking about what ‘space smells like’, he wrote if you strike two granite stones with one another, it will give you this exact smell. Well, need to go there to smell it for myself :)
Or all the confusions in translation of canned food from Russian to English and vice versa.
He also wrote that all the astronauts on board have their little hobby, like, for example, growing lettuce and wheat, writing poems and diaries etc.
Now let’s take a look at the pictures.

OMG of the Day. “Acid Terrorism” Against Women in Pakistan (12 pics + text)

Posted in PICTURES       23 Nov 2009       35387
This is really horrible. Faces of these women were mutilated by acid, and this is the work of bastards who call themselves men. This is such a strange way of solving problems (or revenge) in Pakistan.
After the jump, you can look at these poor women and learn why the acid was thrown into their faces. But think twice before you go into the post. The pictures are very graphic.

A Weird Place for the Toilet (3 pics)

Those pictures were posted on an Ukrainian online site for classified ads.
The owner of this apartment wanted to rent it so he posted some pics.
The thing is, not only the apartment looks old and has old pieces of furniture but there is one major inconvenient. The toilet is situated in an unconventional and not very convenient place!
See more after the jump.

Battambang’s Abandoned Pepsi Cola Factory (11 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       23 Nov 2009       17450
This is the former Pepsi Cola bottling plant which was located in Battambang, Cambodia.
The vast warehouse still contains the original bottling machinery from the 1960’s plus about 10,000 bottles of Pepsi, Miranda, Singha Soda, Teem…
In fact, the factory was abruptly shut down when the Khmer Rouge took over Battambang in 1975.
But there is always one old man though who takes care of the lawn and trims the hedges…

I find always interesting to see abandoned places, especially when it’s related to something famous…

Beautiful San Francisco Multicolored Ponds (8 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       23 Nov 2009       5878
These salt evaporation ponds are situated in San Francisco Bay.
They are shallow man-made ponds designed to produce salts from sea water or other brines.
The color indicates the salinity of the ponds. In low to mid-salinity ponds, green algae are predominant. In middle to high salinity ponds, red algae are. Millions of tiny brine shrimp create an orange cast in mid-salinity ponds. Other bacteria that also contribute different tints.

The Abandoned Beach Resort of Varosha in Cyprus (52 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       23 Nov 2009       32163
This seaside resort was one of the most popular holiday destinations in the world a few decades ago. Lots of stars went there like Elizabeth Taylor or Brigitte Bardot.
But in 1974, the conflict that tore Cyprus in half and divided the North and South forced the closure of this resort…
Since then, it’s nothing more than a ghost city.
Too bad, it could be a great place to go on vacation…

What can I say, a real hard work. The production process is entirely hand-made.
Glass blowers can make up to 200 balls during one shift! I can imagine what strong lungs they must have ;)
Further on you will see a photo essay from a small Ukrainian factory near Kiev.

Baseball Hits Face at 100 mph (14 pics)

This is the set of pictures of our visitor DannyThomson, who put the link in the comments and shortly wrote his story. Thanks a lot Danny for letting us publish your pictures and for your explanations :)
Here’s his complete story about the accident.

Oct 10, 2008. Day 1
I was in the batting cage with my brother, I pitched him the ball and I wasnt fully behind the pitching net, just being lasy. The ball was hit right back up the middle, hit me around 100mph right on the left cheek. It shattered everything, my bone punctured through my skin and was squirting blood causing more blood than just out of my nose and mouth.

This is a project of Michael Wolf, called “A room of everyone’s own."
Many people in Hong Kong live like this, it is hard to believe but it is true.
Surprisingly enough, some of the tenants are very old but they are still working.
And now, let’s see their tiny rooms which make it all very sad.
