Ecorium project

The Ecorium project is similar to the Eden project, in a smaller scale and in South Korea, but created by the same architect company: Grimshaw.

Cute kids, cute animals and fairytale weather

Tribes

Photographer Jimmy Nelson spent two weeks with each of the 30+ tribes he documented. Amazing how rich the earth's population is in cultures that an average school kid knows almost nothing about.

The Eden Project - the largest greenhouse in the world

In Cornwall, Great Britain, the largest greenhouse in the world has been built. The architects have used the technique of biomimicry - the walls do make you think of a beehive, don't you think?

Mapping animals' patterns

It is like the story that in every elevator, there is a strong but tiny being that pulls it up and down all day long :)

Wish - art at the Belfast Festival

This looks like a work of Photoshop - at a glance, nothing in particular, right? But this portrait is very real and happens to be the biggest land art portrait in United Kingdom and Ireland, made by the artist Jorge Rodríguez-Gerada with the assistance of a lot of people autumn 2013.

Vertical Gardens

Patrick Blanc is a French botanic that became a designer using his knowledge about plants. He is perhaps mostly famous for the five stories high vertical garden arrangement on a museum in Madrid, Spain, in 2007. Even Blanc's - from the outside - ordinary apartment contains a wall that looks more or less like the one on the picture, with 250 different species, and the floor is basically an aquarium.  Pic source. Read more and see more pictures at the Vertical Garden Institute! 

"Vogue Raises Money" (and it really does) or "Model Charity to the USA"

As they say - any publicity is good publicity! Photographer Annie Leibovitz has documented the troops that were engaged in the work around the storm Sandy from late 2012, spicing the teams up with models.

Wedding

The signs to the left caught my eye initially, and then I had to add the rest of the composition for perfection, for perfection it is. I found this lovely blog by Bryan and Mae where every picture they take represents a story, and the masterpieces above are just a part of all the wed couples' big day that they have documented with very much love.

Rooftop Restaurant 3

One of my first posts was about a restaurant in New York, which is turning so that its guests have an amazing 360 degrees view - and it turns out (hehe, turns out...) that Iceland has this kind of a restaurant as well - Perlan Restaurant. The homepage says: "...you will enjoy a spectacular panoramic view of Reykjavik and beyond as the restaurant gently completes a full rotation every two hours."

When I search for pictures, it looks very futuristic - like a mixage of an iron flower seen from above and the building that the people who belong to the Raëlism religion dream of having.

New world

By Pierrette Diaz.

Reykjavík/Reykjavíkurborg

I found this amazing picture on a fashion blog (!). It really gives a perspective; a friend from France said just the other week that he thinks Iceland is the most beautiful country in the world. He was there exactly during the vulcano eruption a couple of years ago and was not scared for even a second.

Even on a rainy day, life is beautiful

With one story comes another

Colsubsidio in Colombia came up with this book exchange idea. Here: Sherlock Holmes and Snowhite. Source.

Meet the nice birds

It is cute that most birds seem angry or busy when found on photographs,

or surprised, source

or shyly gorgeous.

But these are also fun!

All the pictures come from Pinterest, where you, well, pin things. A useful tool for creative people, and especially for those who fill their chart at a web shop with lovely things they however never buy.

Something for fast readers

Perhaps the world's biggest bookpile! :) It is made of 5,000 books that were to be thrown away anyway and can be found at Casa de America, Madrid and is made by the artist Artist Alicia Martin. Source!

Day and Night

There is a museum in Stockholm with exhibitions of photographies only, and I really hope that there one day will be photos by Stephen Wilkes. He mixes day with night - and it takes him a minimum of 10 hours to accomplish each shot!
