Thors Well, Oregon. Mystical Nature.

Thor’s Well is part of Cape Perpetua, a typical Pacific Northwest headland – a forested area of land on the central Oregon Coast, surrounded by water on three sides. Thor’s Well is also often simply called the Spouting Horn. It is essentially a huge salt water fountain operated by the Pacific Ocean's power.
This natural spectacle is at its best when it’s the most dangerous to watch - at high tide or during winter storms.
The hole can be seen from the parking area at the far end of the rock shelf on the north side of Cook’s Chasm. Following are the photos taken from very brave and dedicated photographers.

Only if you don’t have a fear of heights do you want to visit the CN Tower. But if you can muster the will to take a trip to the top it will definitely be worth it. The CN Tower is Toronto and Canada's most recognizable and celebrated icon and is the centre of tourism in Toronto.

It is the tallest building in the world; on a clear day, the view is impressive. Each year, around 2 million people take the elevator ride to the top of the tower to take in the breath-taking view at the top of the world. Once you are at the top, see if you can muster up the courage to walk across the see-through glass floor.

The CN Tower has added a new attraction this year that could make bungee jumping look like a walk in the park.

The tower’s new EdgeWalk allows thrill-seekers to stroll outside on the world-famous tower on a 1.5 metre ledge that rings the main pod 356 metres (1,168 feet) above the ground.

Opened in August, this walk of wobbly knees sends groups of six to eight people out on the ledge where they walk hands-free while attached to an overhead safety harness.

During the walk, specially trained guides encourage visitors to push their personal limits, even allowing them to lean out 116 storeys above the city.

The EdgeWalk costs $175. While that may be pricey, CN Tower staff say it costs walkers their lives.

The “MOBILIARIO HUMANO” Furniture Made From Naked Men (Photos David Blazquez).

We wonder when some designers make furniture from steel or cactuses, other ones prefer to use people for this purpose. It sound strange enough. But not for David Blazquez.
David Blazquez's collection looks impressive at least. But it is very difficult to say whether we like it or not. The collection made by a man and from men. However photographers use women in their collections more frequent. The beauty of feminine body helps them to express their feelings. This time we see something opposite.

The collection by spanish photographer David Blazquez was named “MOBILIARIO HUMANO” or "Human Furniture".

David Blazquez explores the idea of "naked bodies" furniture in his 1st exhibition at seville’s el fotomata gallery. His background in image manipulation shines through in this series which depict various pieces of furniture made from naked male bodies. In every work of ‘Human Furniture’, the artist himself appears in the nude, often in multiples embodying the furniture and props in the photographs. the series explores the concept of objects, nudity and the self-portrait. the series includes a variety of ‘furniture’ subjects all shot in black and white including an ironing board, bathtub and floor lamp.
