In honor of the first weekend of snow (very light) in Cleveland, here is a collection of 8 beautiful snow sculptures. I cannot imagine the time it took to create these, nor the heartbreak when the temperature eventually warms.
How handy it would be to be able to dictate which room sees the sunrise and which the sunset. Or to be able to set "mood scenery" as the mood strikes you. This house in Australia, costing ~$650K and built on an electrically-powered turntable, lets you do all that. Wonder if it has a "random" setting?
A fascinating show comparing view of cities before and after major events such as wars (Kabul - shown above), natural catastrophes (San Francisco), or speculative bubbles (Dubai). I've seen the Detroit photos before an they show in an unmatched way the deterioration of that once-fine (yes, I said Detroit was "fine") city.
The Soviets had no lack of ambition when it came to grand projects. Unfortunately (for them), most of them either died on the drawing board (including the "Palace for the People" shown, which was to be taller than the Empire State Building) or were utter failures (like the Baltic-to-White-Sea canal). More regrettably, hundreds of thousands of political prisoners died during construction of even just the few projects that moved forward. Ambition unbounded by morals is the greatest of all evils.
