9 World Famous Pits and Sinkholes
Nature never stops to amaze us with its magnificent phenomenon just like these inexplicable holes in the ground. I bet that these holes make an excellent tourist attraction. Check out these unreal photographs and location descriptions of 9 of world’s most famous pits and sinkholes. (Courtesy of National Geographic)
1. Lisbon, Portugal, Sinkhole
A parked bus was the unfortunate “meal” of a sinkhole that opened up in the streets of Lisbon, Portugal, in 2003.
“Anything that increases the flow of water into subsurface soil can speed up the formation of sinkholes’” ,Missouri State’s Gouzie said. In many cities, utility infrastructure such as sewer lines and fiber optic cables are buried in troughs filled with loose material, which can wash away over time. In some cases, a stretch of road can essentially become a concrete bridge over mostly empty space.
“It’s eventually not enough to hold the weight of the next truck over it,” Gouzie said.
2. Guatemala Sinkhole
Heavy rains from tropical storm Agatha likely triggered the collapse of a huge sinkhole in Guatemala on Sunday, seen above a few days afterward.
In the strictly geologic use of the word, a sinkhole happens when water erodes solid bedrock, carving an underground cavity that can then collapse. Many parts of the United States are at risk for that type of event.
The Guatemala sinkhole fits into a broader use of the term, which refers to any sudden slump of the ground’s surface. Instead of solid bedrock, much of Guatemala City rests atop a layer of loose, gravelly volcanic pumice that is hundreds of feet thick. And at least one geologist says leaking pipes—not nature—created the recent sinkhole.
Overall, the risk for repeat sinkholes in Guatemala City is high—but highly unpredictable.

Cartoon Characters Stuck in Real Life
Cartoon characters have their own universe and their own dimension (it used two be two dimensional world but lately computer graphics and animation tend to be 3D more and more often). What would happen if by some bizarre twist of faith these fictional animated characters popped out and appeared in real life. I guess, our life would suddenly become much more interesting and loony 
. Check out how Astrix, the Simpsons, Shrek, Tarzan and many others would handle themselves in these situation.

Top 50 Most Unbelievable – Yet Not Photoshopped Photographs
It is hard to be amazed by anything you see on the internet these days, when you know for a fact that any teenager with a computer and a copy of Adobe Photoshop or other photo manipulation software can put together a fake photograph in a couple of minutes. Which would make you completely right to believe that these photographs have been tempered with! Unfortunately, this means there’s a bunch of jaw-dropping images that the internet declared “FAKE!” the moment they appeared! But, you need to be broad minded and always mind that real life is, sometimes, stranger than Photoshopped imagery and some of the most unbelievable, jaw-dropping of those photographs are, in fact, REAL.

Magic Paper Works by Peter Callesen
Peter Callesen paper works have been based around an exploration of the relationship between two and three dimensionality. He find this materialization of a flat piece of paper into a 3D form almost a magic process – or maybe one could call it obvious magic, because the process is obvious and the figures still stick to their origin, without the possibility of escaping.
He found the A4 sheet of paper interesting to work with, because it is probably the most common and consumed media and format for carrying information today, and in that sense it is something very loaded. This means that we rarely notice the actual materiality of the A4 paper. By removing all the information and starting from scratch using the blank white 80gsm A4 paper as a base for his creations, he feel that he have found a material which we all are able to relate to, and at the same time is non-loaded and neutral and therefore easier to fill with different meanings. The thin white paper also gives the paper sculptures a fragility which underlines the tragic and romantic theme of the works.

Afghanistan of 2010 vs Afghanistan of 1994 – Photo Comparison
Photo comparison of looks of a Afghanistan today in 2010 and back in 1994. Intriguing photography of scenery of a country where time has obviously stopped and little changes in 16 years time. These photos were taken by photographer Seamus Murphy in 1994 and 2010. Even though the Taliban era is over, Afghanistan still looks like back in the old times. Has time stopped in certain parts of the world? What can we do to help? Those are the serious questions that arise here.
Take a look for yourself at this photo comparison between Afghanistan of 2010 and Afghanistan back in 1994. Amazing photos tell an amazing story of human life and drama.
