Each creatively spectacular piece, which Beck personally makes by strolling through the snow and making behind his track prints, contributes an exclusive element to its natural scenery. Walking myriad kilometers on end, the devoted specialist controls to produce amazingly shaped and intricate designs on the soft, white bed of snow that includes kilometers upon kilometers of land.

Majestic Bedford Panorama Bus

If you want to live in England looking for a place to stay that's off the beaten path, it’s a nice idea to try a Bedford Panorama Bus? This amazing bus was lovingly converted into a quaint living space situated near Hay-on-Wye, a small historic market town on the Herefordshire countryside of Wales.The bus has a striking wooden floor, painted pine boarding and a well thought-out dining, kitchen with hand-built units, oak worktops, a gas cooker and a fridge. You see in the picture that at the back is a cosy double bed and a wood-burning stove placed on an old flagstone. An “L” shaped sofa seat folds into a further double bed. Moreover solar panels on the roof power the lights and a socket to charge cell phones, laptops, digital camera battery etc. The bus outside is a decked area on two levels, a fire-pit on which you can cook in the open air and two level platforms. These can act as tent-pitch areas, proficient to accommodate up to a further four guests if your party is larger, or which could be used simply as places to settle down, take in the view or enjoy a picnic. Some metres away lies a purpose built wooden bath house, containing a flush toilet and a deluxe roll-top bath with shower above. A 2nd wood-burner is installed for those chillier nights and the room comes full with tea-light candles for the special romantic bath experience.








Resplendent Quetzal is Famous For Its Colorful Plumage


The resplendent quetzal is considered world's most beautiful bird mostly finds in vibrantly colored live in the mountainous, tropical forests of Central America where they eat fruit, insects, lizards, and other small creatures. The Resplendent Quetzal belongs to trogon family, and can be found from southern Mexico to western Panama, and it is famous for its colorful plumage. Throughout mating season, male quetzals grow twin tail feathers that form an astonishing train up to 3 feet long. Females do not have long trains, but they do share the radiant blue, green, and red coloring of their mates. However Male colors tend to be more vibrant. The Resplendent Quetzal is Guatemala's national bird, and an image of it is on the flag and coat of arms of Guatemala, and also the name of the local currency. The bird is of great relevance to Guatemalan culture, being a character in the widely popular legend of the local hero Tecún Umán, a prince and warrior of the Quiché (K'iche') Maya during the latter stages of the Spanish conquest of the region. Unfortunately, these striking birds are threatened in Guatemala and elsewhere throughout their range.
The colorful Resplendent Quetzals have a green body and red breast. Their green upper tail coverts hide their tails and in breeding males are predominantly marvelous, being longer than the rest of the body. The main wing coverts are also extraordinarily long and give a fringed appearance. The male bird has a helmet-like crest. The bill, which is fairly covered by green filamentous feathers, is yellow in mature males and black in females. The quetzal skin is very thin and effortlessly torn, so it has evolved thick plumage to protect its skin. Like other members of the trogon family, it has large eyes that adapt easily to the dim light of its forest home. The "song" is a treble syllable described as kyow or like "a whimpering pup", often in pairs, which may be repeated monotonously. Resplendent Quetzals have other unmusical calls as well. Resplendent quetzal pairs use their authoritative beaks to hollow hole nests in rotted trees or stumps. Inside, they take turns incubating 2 or 3 eggs though males have such long tails that they sometimes stick outside the nest. Young quetzals can fly approximately three weeks of age, but males do not begin to grow their long tail plumes for three years.
They are from time to time trapped for captivity or killed, but their most important threat is the disappearance of their tropical forest homes. In a few areas, most notably Costa Rica's cloud forests, protected lands preserve habitat for the birds and provide opportunities for ecotourists and eager bird watchers from around the globe. Such admirers continue a long history of adoration for the quetzal. The bird was sacred to the ancient Maya and Aztec peoples and royalty and priests wore its feathers during ceremonies. Resplendent Quetzals habitually live alone when not breeding. They are monogamous territorial breeders, with the territory size being measured in Guatemala as 6 to 10 ha. They are also seasonal breeders, with the breeding season starts March to April in Mexico.

Three Dimensional Goldfish Painted in Layer

Japanese artist Riusuke Fukahori busted out by creating online art scene last year with his three dimensional goldfish paiting by pouring resin. It is extremely interested when he began using resin, and kept it secret for almost eight years untill Riusuke perfected his technique and method. Although several copycat artists emerged, while you can effortlessly tell which ones are Fukahori's just by looking at the container. Each of his fish works are found inside common Japanese household items like bowls and cups. He said; I didn’t invent resin and not the first to use resin. I’m goldfish artist, not resin. I believe it’s clear which pieces are Riusuke Fukahori pieces because the imitators use the wrong containers. They will never understand goldfish the way I do, because they are only copying the craft, not the soul.”

Riusuke Fukahori’s amazing works isn’t the containers they reside in, it’s the special technique I used. I’ve created these hyper-realistic sculptures of swimming goldfish by a slow and meticulous process. First, he pours a layer of resin, lets it dry, and then paints a small portion of the fish on top it, lets it dry, and then pours another layer of resin, repeating this process until he makes a three-dimensional representation of a goldfish. For Joshua Liner Gallery in New York, the talented artist is exhibiting a novel body of work. You can see the Painted Breath to witness what can only be described as a magnificent cross between a painting and a sculpture up close and personal. Now, courtesy of the gallery, here's what you can expect to find.
