Breathtaking Journeys by Steve Winter

sanela — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 12:47:38 +0000

Steve Winter, well known photographer for National Geographic was named the wild life photographer of the year. Besides from taking photos of animals and beautiful nature landscapes, he makes astonishing photography of the people on his exciting journeys to the different parts of the world. Have a look at this great and breathtaking photo gallery below and you’ll see his obvious talent and why he received this prestigious award. I have to admit that I’m a bit jealous of his job. He actually has what is in my opinion a dream job! He gets to travel around the world and learn about different cultures and styles of life while taking photos, and he gets payed for doing that!

Unusual house in Vienna

sanela — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 09:00:33 +0000

This is one really cool and creatively designed house that is located in Vienna, so if you happen to be there look around and maybe you’ll see it in person. I really like this creative and original circular architecture style of these buildings. It somewhat reminds me of a well.

Early twentieth century in color by Albert Khan

sanela — Thu, 13 May 2010 11:16:37 +0000

Albert Kahn was a banker and French philanthropist. He was born Abraham Kahn at Marmoutier, Bas-Rhin, France on 3 March 1860, into a Jewish family, one of 5 children of his parents, Louis and Babette Kahn. He died at Boulogne-Billancourt, Hauts-de-Seine, France on 14 November 1940,

In 1879 Kahn became a bank clerk in Paris, but studied for a degree in the evenings. His tutor was Henri Bergson, who remained his friend all his life. He graduated in 1881 and continued to mix in intellectual circles, making friends with Auguste Rodin and Mathurin Méheut. In 1892 Kahn became a principal associate of the Goudchaux Bank, which was regarded as one of most important financial houses of Europe.

In 1893 Kahn acquired a large property in Boulogne-Billancourt, where he established a unique garden containing a variety of garden styles including English, Japanese, a rose garden and a conifer wood. This became a meeting place for French and European intelligentsia until the 1930s when due to the Wall Street Crash of 1929, Kahn became bankrupt. At that time the garden was turned into a public park in which Kahn would still take walks. Kahn died during the Nazi occupation of France.

The Fish Spa in Turkey

sanela — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 11:06:01 +0000

This might seem weird, but it is a medical procedure known by the name ichthyotherapy, and this sort of fish is called “Doctor Fish“. The idea is that this specific specie of fish eats only rotten flesh and meat and only the infected parts of skin and that way it helps healing. Now, it all makes sense in theory, but if you ask me it’s simply nasty! Somehow it doesn’t seem right to me, nor very hygienic! What do you think?

Taxi on a world tour

sanela — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 20:04:48 +0000

Have a look at the sweetest, funnies and strangest taxis. This is what cabs look like in different parts of the world. As much as I envy Russians for ridding in Maybach taxis, I’m happy that I don’t have to ride in some strange vehicles like people do in India. Firstly let’s start with bubble taxi, the proud actor of Mexico City traffic.

Strange treats

sanela — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 09:36:15 +0000

I hate bugs, insects, worms and all those creatures. I can’t stand bare looking at them and the thought of actually eating them makes my stomach go upside down. I don’t know how anyone can do that. If they were at least somehow camouflaged and I didn’t knew they are there maybe, just maybe, I would manage to swallow it, but this way while looking at them, it’s unbearable in my opinion. You should probably be a great adventurist and say to yourself that you want to try EVERYTHING in your life. But, even then, I can’t imagine myself doing something like that.

Is it a bird, is it a plane…

sanela — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 09:49:27 +0000

Now, this strange looking vehicle really makes me wonder. It’s obviously originally been a bus, but then someone decided that it would be much better if he turned it into a dredger. But somewhere in the middle of the work he remembered that he also needs the bus for transportation. Here you can see clearly the creativity of the Chinese people. It’s sort of 2 in 1 product, like a shampoo.
