What you are going to see is how Lockheed Burbank Aircraft Plant was transformed into a rural area. During the WW II, to protect the plant from a Japanese air attack, they covered it with big camouflage netting, creating the largest trompe l'oeil ever.

African analog blogger (5 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       25 Mar 2009       5784
Do you often complain about some stuff on Twitter or Facebook? Maybe some things irritate you or the way they function. Well, stop complaining and look how African bloggers work. Actually, one African blogger from Monrovia, Liberia - Alfred Sirleaf. He writes his « daily news » on a big blackboard. He employs people to report him news around the city and country. He uses symbols like military helmets for the illiterate people. There is also a place for ads and there are people who’re willing to pay for them to put their ad. The price varies from $5-15 depending upon the section on the blackboard. Alfred Sirleaf is planning to open such spots in different parts of the city to pass information for those who are unable to go on the Internet, to have a TV or even to buy newspapers.

Kruger National Park (52 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       25 Mar 2009       53099
Kruger National Park is the largest game reserve in South Africa. It covers 18,989 square km (7,332 sq mi).
All the Big Five game animals are found at Kruger National Park, which has more species of mammals than any other African Game Reserve (at 147 species): elephants, hippopotamus, white rhinoceros, giraffes, 17 species of antelope, lions, leopards, and crocodiles and many other species.
Tourism is very developed here. But before going there, the tourists are always asked to sign a document that they went there willingly and if they are eaten, the park administration DOES NOT bear any responsibility.

World’s craziest kayaker (9 pics + 1 video)

Posted in PICTURES       25 Mar 2009       8843
Faced with this awesome waterfall, most of us would be happy to stand at the side and enjoy the view.
For one man, however, that wasn't enough. Pedro Olivia risked his life by jumping into his kayak, paddling straight over the edge - and dropping an astonishing 127 feet off the Salto Belo falls in central Brazil.
He fell head first for 2.95 seconds before hitting the churning waters below at 70mph.
Pedro successfully broke the previous waterfall record! Crazy but brave man ;)

I don’t even know if this pictures should be commented.
Briefly, a guy got very drunk, was walking around the hotel in his boxer shorts and then went to swim and..hop, he started to feel bad because of alcohol.
Well, one should drink less it is a fact.

Posted in PICTURES       24 Mar 2009       15744
The Burj Al Arab is a luxury hotel located in Dubai. At 321 metres (1,053 ft), it is the second tallest building used exclusively as a hotel. The Burj Al Arab stands on an artificial island 280 metres (919 ft) out from Jumeirah beach, and is connected to the mainland by a private curving bridge. It is an iconic structure, designed to symbolize Dubai's urban transformation and to mimic the sail of a boat. The hotel cost $650 million to build. Burj Al Arab characterizes itself as the world's only "7-star" property. Despite its size, the Burj Al Arab holds only 28 double-story floors which accommodate 202 bedroom suites. The smallest suite occupies an area of 169 square meters (1,819 sq ft), the largest covers 780 square meters (8,396 sq ft). It is one of the most expensive hotels in the world. The cost of staying in a suite begins at $1,000 per night; the Royal Suite is the most expensive, at $28,000 per night.

Miniature Wonderland in Hamburg (65 pics+1 video)

Posted in PICTURES       24 Mar 2009       14242
Miniature Wonderland (German: Miniatur-Wunderland) is a model railway attraction in Hamburg, Germany and the largest of its kind in the world. As of January 2008, the railway consists of 11,000 metres (36,089 ft) of track in H0 scale, divided into five sections: Southern Germany, Hamburg and the coast, America, Scandinavia and Switzerland. Of the 4,000 square metres (43,056 sq ft) of floor space, the model takes 1,500 m2 (16,146 sq ft).

By 2014 the exhibit is due to double the number of sections to ten; the next section covering an airport, is due to open in 2009. The exhibit includes 900 trains made up of 12,000 carriages; 300,000 lights, 200,000 trees and 200,000 human figures.

All this can be seen in minor details. And judging by many photographs from there it is even hard to say that this is only a miniature, it looks very plausible.

I never understood people who did such things to themselves. But everyone sees things differently.
Maybe they try to express themselves this way or just want to be noticed.
In my opinion, it’s not pretty at all and can be harmful. More pictures after the jump.
