Plitvice, a watery paradise in Croatia - StumbleUpon In recent years, Croatia has changed from a relative unknown to one of the trendiest destinations in Europe. To a great extent this is due to the country's rocky littoral, which, washed by the Adriatic, is considered one of the most beautiful of the Mediterranean coastlines. Then there is the rich history and cultural heritage of medieval towns such as Dubrovnik, Split and Sibenik. But the well-deserved popularity also depends on the protected natural areas, which make up some ten per cent of the country's area. Use the left and right arrow keys to view the images Plitvice Lakes National Park is in the Lika region of Croatia and lies in a plateau surrounded by three mountains, not far from the border with Bosnia The park is criss-crossed by a series of paths and trails that allow visitors to explore the area and observe the flora and fauna Although the park is best known for its lakes and waterfalls, it is home to a wide range of birds and animals

High Speed Liquid and Bubble Photographs by Heinz Maier | Colossal - StumbleUpon It never ceases to amaze me: just when I think I’ve seen every possible permutation of an artform or technique—be it figurative sculpture, stop motion animation, or in this case, high speed photography—somebody comes along and manages to do something radically different. German photographer Heinz Maier says that he began taking photographs less than a year ago in late 2010.

Jeffrey Brown takes us through a unique museum exhibition. JEFFREY BROWN: Sculptures from sixth century China, the head of a Buddha, a seated bodhisattva, a kneeling winged monster, works of art from museums around the world. They tell a tale that goes back some 1,500 years. This is a story of ancient history and the latest technology. It’s got religion and lots of art, and for you mystery and CSI fans, yes, great treasures have been lost and an investigation is ongoing. It begins in Northeast China in what is today a rural coal mining area at the Xiangtangshan caves. Today, worshipers still come to the caves, but they pray to largely empty spaces. KEITH WILSON, Arthur M. JEFFREY BROWN: Keith Wilson is the curator of ancient Chinese art at the Smithsonian’s Arthur M. KEITH WILSON: Basically, that happens in part through the world’s fair movement. This gives us a sense of scale, among other things.
