Jacob's Well one of the longest underwater caves in Texas and an artesian spring. It is one of the most interesting places in the Texas Hill Country. It is a really significant natural geologic treasure. The water in Jacob’s Well is so transparent that it seams like you are jumping to empty space. Jacob’s Well is a rich habitat for aquatic species.
But at the same time Jacob’s Well is a very dangerous place. Its diameter is 4 meters, the depth is about 10 meters. It ends with many endless branch caves that people have never been to. Up to this day 8 divers were lost in those caves during the investigation.....
The trend for extreme consoles continues with this house in Croatia. One floor effectively overhangs the other.
Nest and Cave House overlooks the sea in the Opatija Riviera, where houses typically follow a national style with clay roof tiles and gabled profiles. This is a building with more of a dominance over the hillside.
The irregular angle of the cantilever divides the two storeys of the house into two distinct volumes. The ground floor is a rugged concrete building set into the lawn, while the steel frame of the upper level is coated with white cladding panels that help to create a lightweight structure.
Therefore, the house consists of an entrenched concrete bunker (the bedrooms) on which a steel spatial grid structure is placed and which elongates into a 17 meter long console.

Today Hashima Island looks like a big sad battleship. About an hour sail from the port of Nagasaki, the deserted island silently dies. There was a coal mining facility owned by Mitsubishi Motors. It was the most densely populated place on earth - over 13,000 people on one square kilometer of its residential high-risers. It functioned from 1887 until 1974, after which the coal industry fell into decline and the mines were shut forever. So as their jobs gone people didn't have any reason to stay in that mini urban prison, almost overnight the people escaped to the mainland, leaving most of their stuff behind to decay.
Nowadays it is illegal to go anywhere near the place as it is beyond restoration and very unsafe. The punishment for being caught visiting Hashima Island is 30 days in prison followed by immediate deportation. The Japanese Government aren't keen to draw unwanted attention to this testament to the hardship of the country’s post-war industrial revolution either.
But cutting a secret deal with a local fisherman some group of young people landed on Hashima Island to see the Island with their own eyes and take photos. The port of Nagasaki is an international fare where you’re more likely to find granny-laden cruise ships and large oil tankers filling the docks than buck-toothed fisherman willing to break the law for a few extra bob, so they took the early morning ferry to the still-inhabited Takashima, the closest island to Hashima. After asking around – and being politely turned away by every Japanese they mentioned it to – finally they found their man to take them close enough to see it.
Let us have a look at how gold bars are made. Gold bars are made from scrap gold.
The gold is melted and poured into a mold.

This is an apartment of Tony Alleyne. He lives in the UK and he is a big Star Trek fan. When you ring the doorbell you hear Patrick Stewart's voice saying “Welcome to the 24th century.” Well he lives in a tribute to Star Trek Voyager.
Tony Alleyne remodeled every inch of his apartment in order to look like the set of Star Trek Voyager. This may look like cool and obsessive, but at least something good came out of this. The fantastic work that Alleyne put in on his lodging prompted him to start his own design company 24th Century Interior Design.
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.
Pigeons and doves constitute the bird family Columbidae within the order Columbiformes, which include some 300 species of near passerines. On the pictures below you will see the various species of pigeons. Focus is especially on the species which are difficult to find in wilderness.

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.
Volcanic explosion from under the water near Tonga Islands in South part of Pacific Ocean. Pictures gallery and Video.
It could be seen glowing on the horizon last night.
The explosion of the tiny volcanic island of Hunga Ha’apai, 62 kilometres away from the Tongan capital Nuku’alofa, has become a tourist attraction today, with charter boats and flights taking people on short excursions to the area.
The massive explosion has been the talk of the town since the plume of the double venting was 1st sighted late on the 17th of March.
Chatham Pacific Tonga’s General Manager, Russell Jenkins, says the 1st flight this afternoon on an eight seater aircraft, was fully booked at a cost of 89 US dollars per person.
Hunga Ha’apai is a remnant of the rim of a submarine caldera that last erupted in 1912, 1937 and 1988.
