Rainbow Eucalyptus These trees may look like they've been painted, but their bark produces all natural colors making them one of the most amazing trees in the world. Rainbow eucalyptus are mostly in New Guinea, New Britain and Sulawesi. Riusuke Fukahori Paints Three-Dimensional Goldfish Embedded in Layers of Resin | Colossal - StumbleUpon First: watch the video. Japanese artist Riusuke Fukahori paints three-dimensional goldfish using a complex process of poured resin. The fish are painted meticulously, layer by layer, the sandwiched slices revealing slightly more about each creature, similar to the function of a 3D printer. I really enjoy the rich depth of the pieces and the optical illusion aspect, it’s such an odd process that results in something that’s both a painting and sculptural.

How Many of Me 15 Amazing Castles from Around the Globe - StumbleUpon Although designed and built for the prominent purpose of defense, today the castles seem like somewhat unrealistic constructions straight from the fairytale world. From solid strongholds to oriental fortresses and highly decorative palaces, the castles are our connection to the past, where legends mix with history and reality blends with a fairyland. This fairytale castle is the historical seat of the Prussian Kings and German Emperors. Although it looks like a castle, Howard is actually a stately home - a private residence of the Howard family that has resided in the complex for more than 300 years. Segovia Castle, located in an ancient town of Segovia in central Spain, started off as an Arab fort in the 12th century. Himeji Castle, also known as White Heron Castle due to its amazing white exterior, is a stunning complex comprised of 83 wooden buildings. Prague Castle, an iconic site of the capital of the Czech Republic, is one of the largest and oldest castles in the world.
Famous life quotation | Our Funny Planet The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it. (W. M. Lewis) The only true wisdom consists in knowing that you know nothing If you can't get rid of the skeleton in your closet, you'd best teach it to dance. When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace. My tastes are simple: I am easily satisfied with the best. You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough. Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. Your time is limited, so don`t waste it living someone else's life. Everything comes too late for those who only wait. Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted. Write to be understood, speak to be heard, read to grow... Don’t settle for a relationship that won’t let you be yourself. In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life. ShareThis
OLED Display, Low Energy Light, Revolutionary ‘light Emitting Wallpaper’ Could Start To Replace Light Bulbs In 2012 Carbon Trust backs organic LED lighting technology that promises major carbon cuts A company developing ultra-efficient organic LED (OLED) lighting technology has been awarded a £454k grant by the Carbon Trust. The OLED materials, being pioneered by LOMOX Ltd, have a wide variety of potential applications and when coated onto a film could be used to cover walls creating a light-emitting wallpaper which replaces the need for traditional light bulbs. As well as being flexible, OLED film will require a very low operating voltage (between 3 to 5 volts) so it can be powered by solar panels and batteries making it ideal for applications where mains power is not available such as roadside traffic warning signs. Lighting in buildings accounts for a sixth of total electricity use in the UK. The Welsh company aims to have the first lighting products using its technology available in 2012 and also plans to use the same technology to create more energy efficient television screens.
Lofted Forest Home: Organic Curves & Natural Materials | Designs &Ideas on Dornob - StumbleUpon Good things come to those who wait – particularly in a work of uniquely detailed and highly curved architecture. Nearly a decade in the making, this structure by Robert Harvey Oshatz is much like a tree house – lofted toward the top of the canopy around it – only bigger, grander, more complex and curved than most any tree house in the world. The perimeter of the structure is pushed out into the forest around it, curving in and out to create views as well as a sense of intimacy with the coniferous and deciduous tree cover. The curved, organic mix of materials continues to the interior of this elevated forest home – a conceptual play on the fluidity and complexity of music (the source of inspiration for the architect and client in the design).
Husband banned from Target Husband banned from Target After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Target. Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most women - she loves to browse. Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from our local Target. Dear Mrs. Over the past six months, your husband has caused quite a commotion in our store.. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. And last, but not least: 15.

MMW Company Makes Custom Stuffed Toys Out of Childrens Drawings | Geekosystem - StumbleUpon Child’s Own Studio does something pretty neat: If you supply the studio with a drawing a child made, the studio will produce a stuffed toy using the child’s drawing as the blueprint.

Child’s Own Studio actually prefers you, stating that the more directions provided, the better. On the site’s official FAQ, it is noted that there isn’t a set price, and the studio will provide a quote once the child’s drawing is received, though standard U.S. and Canadian shipping will cost $15.
