Wildlife Paper Art By Calvin Nicholls

There is nothing simple or ordinary about his amazing paper art. Where we would simply use a piece of paper and a pair of scissors, Calvin uses everything you could possibly think of to carve, cut and rip perfect details onto his creations. The motifs are all wildlife, and that must be one of the hardest categories of things to make with paper since there are sometimes impossible details on animals. These details are amazing, and I can't even fathom the time it must have taken to create these masterpieces of art.

Orthlieb Pool - Largest Swimming Pool in the World

The world's largest swimming pool is the Orthlieb pool in Casablanca Morocco. This is the largest swimming pool in the world certified by Guinness is San Alfonso del Mar pool in Algarrobo, Chile. This biggest pool is 480 meters or 1,574 feet long and 75 meters or 246 feet wide. The Orthlieb Pool is filled with sea water and covers a soggy 8.9 acres.

 

 

Its turquoise waters are so crystal clear that you can see the bottom even in the deep end. The sun warms the water to 26c, nine degrees warmer than the adjoining sea. Chilean biochemist Fernando Fischmann, whose Crystal Lagoons Corporation designed the pool, said advanced engineering meant his company could build 'an impressive artificial paradise' even in inhospitable areas. 'As long as we have access to unlimited seawater, we can make it work, and it causes no damage to the ocean.'

Indian Girl Playing With King Cobra Snake

Just 8 year old Indian girl eats, sleeps and plays with King Cobra snake. This little charmer calls these King Cobras her best friends, even though she has survived three venom filled bites from them. Villagers in Ghatampur, Uttar Pradesh, India, run in fear when they see eight year old Kajol Khan wandering the dusty streets with her deadly friends wrapped around her neck.

 

Kajol's father, Taj Mohammad has worked as Ghatampur's snake catcher for the past 45 years.
He has already passed on his skills to his son Gulab, 28. But now it seems Kajol, the youngest nine, is keen to join the family business.

 Since Kajol's friendship with the killers began she has been bitten on her stomach, her cheeks and most recently her arm. She was seriously ill but made a full recovery. 'It hurts when they bite me but they don’t mean it,' she said. 'I get a little frightened when I see the blood but my father sorts me out. He rushes into the forest and comes back with the medicine.' Kajol said: 'I have a lot of fun with the cobras. It hurts when they bite me but sometimes it’s my own fault because I tease them. It’s quite funny. I don’t like school. I much prefer working with the snakes' she said.

Highway Passes Through Gate Tower Building

Did you ever seen the highway passes through a building? It's happened in Gate Tower Building at Osaka in Japan. That's one of the most amazing facts in Osaka from the Umeda Sky Building observatory was this famous skyscraper traversed by a highway.

 Surprisingly, there is no connection between the two structures, the highway passes between the fifth and seventh floors of this building like a tunnel, wrapped in the noise protection walls. The side of the Gate Tower Building simply opens up like a mouth to release traffic coming off of the Hanshin Expressway. Futuristic-looking and against all classic notions of creating high rises, the Gate Tower Building is actually the result of a compromise between the Japanese government and landowners who had staked a claim on the land back in the mid-19th century.

 

The land was owned by the Suezawa Sangyo Company, which in 1983 started to plan an office building. However, the land was also included in the Hanshin Expressway plans for the highway construction, so 5-year-long fruitless negotiations took place. In 1989, because of a similar issue in Minato-ku, Tokyo, the building codes were changed to allow the development of buildings and highways in the same space. In the end the project from Tokyo was abandoned, so the Gate Tower Building from Osaka, finished in 1992, became the first building in Japan having a highway passing through building.

Biggest Helicopter In The World

This is the worlds biggest helicopter at the Dease Lake in British Columbia. It is to be used for taking mining equipment and cargo out to a new mine called Galore Creek. It is owned by a Russian company. It is called the Utsky. The chopper couldn’t land at the air strip at Bob Quinn Lake because it wasn’t a paved area so it had to land in Dease Lake until the landing site north of Bob Quinn could be inspected. Apparently this chopper’s wash will pick up and fling rocks, up to 12 inches in diameter, around like leaves.

Death Of A Baby Elephant In Zoo

Three month old Baby elephant Lola was due to receive groundbreaking surgery for her condition but passed away during a preliminary scan. Keepers at Munich's Hellabrunn Zoo decided to return her body to the enclosure so mother Panang, 22, could say her goodbyes in peace.

Zoo director and veterinarian Dr Andreas Knieriem explained how baby Lola died after three days of treatment by experts."Considering the pathology, it has to be said it's a miracle that she lived as long as she did," said Dr. Knieriem. 'Her arteries were so blocked that blood couldn't flow through her lungs anymore.'

A 2005 study in the UK found the creatures displayed traits similar to humans and, coming across the remains of an elephant, would gently touch the skull and tusks with their trunks and feet. They are also believed to display a ritual around death, with several elephants travelling to visit a dead body and touching the corpse with their trunks. Some elephants have been seen to weep and others make sounds associated with grief as they cover the body with leaves and branches before keeping a silent vigil.

Illusion Images And Surreal Paintings By Mihai Criste

Surreal Paintings Offer Dual Perspective surrealistic cues from Dali and Magritte, painter Mihai Criste expands on the unusually expressive art form in his illusionary images. The Romania-based artist boasts a vast portfolio of imaginative works that tackle the cunning abilities of visual elements. Each image offers dual perspectives. It's a matter of what the spectator sees first and their ability to reevaluate what's in front of them, in order to see the optically crafty details.

In addition to the optical illusions, there is a quirky presence in many of Criste's paintings. Many of his works feature animals blending in with their environment, making it difficult to distinguish one from the other. The artist has really mastered the art of illusion, especially when incorporating birds and butterflies.
