A group of 50 BASE
jumpers, slack-liners, and other daredevils built a colossal pentagonal hammock
around 400 feet above the desert near Moab, Utah. The spectacular miracle
produced by these enthusiastic people is the “Mothership Space Net Penthouse,”
the hammock served as a platform for BASE jumpers and a destination for
slack-liners, who walked up to 262 feet along lines tethering the hammock to
surrounding cliffs. There’s undeniably dazzling view from there and you can get
a lot a lot of adrenaline definitely. We’re sure, you’d like the efforts of
these daredevils, check out photographs and enjoy!

Enchanted Photographs of Siberian Huskies Playing on a Mirror-Like Frozen Lake in Russia
A Russian photographer who goes
by Fox Grom has captured some superb photographs of his Siberian Huskies
playing on a thawing frozen lake, which makes them seem like they are walking
on a massive mirror or on the sky itself. Grom lives in Kirovsk in Murmansk
Oblast, which is one of Russia’s northernmost regions. Therefore almost the whole
area is north of the Arctic Circle, meaning that his robust dogs are no
strangers to the cold frozen lake. The lake is well frozen solid but not entirely
so, and the thin film of water on the ice’s surface supports make the magical
mirror-like illusion in these photos. For some more spectacular photos of life
in the harsh Arctic lands of Lapland, you must be make sure to check out his
Vkontakte profile, where he has more astonishing photographs of his dogs and
the stunning natural landscapes!

Urban Treehouse Uses Trees to Protect Residents from Noise & Pollution
The Italian architect Luciano Pia has a broad
vision for how people and nature can live together even in a thoroughly urban
landscape. 25 Verde, an apartment complex he designed in Turin, Italy, is a
woven 5-story mix of lush trees and steel girders that let urban residents
feels like they’re living in a huge urban tree-house. Therefore every step in
the building’s design was taken with natural integration in mind. The organic
and asymmetric shape of its terraces lets potted trees to “sprout” out from the
building at random intervals. The beautiful ponds in the courtyard offers
residents with a refreshing place to relax in the summer, and the 150 deciduous
trees, which lose their trees in the winter, allow light to filter in to the
building during the darker months. The building also assists to keep the city’s
air cleaner and isolates the residents from the urban sounds and smells
surrounding them. The modern building, which was completed in 2012, is located
at Via Chabrera 25 in Turin, Italy.
Well, this is indeed a valuable and different
idea. The practical part appears not to be thought of. still construction is
exposed and a matter of rust. The planting buckets are huge and heavy and cause
a heavy structure, so the construction would be extra expensive. Accepting all
this, it is a nice artistic planning totally agrees. Also the roots of these
high trees cannot grow sufficient in these shallow buckets. This makes them
standing unstable a vulnerable for wind. Although I agree that this is a
beautifully visual concept. In practical it would probably demand to cut more
trees to build this than there would grow in this building. Not even mentioning
the production and transportation of the heavy steel girders. Although the subsequently
emitted greenhouse gasses. Either way, it would not be a contribution towards a
sustainable "green" environment love the idea. I love everything
about the design and I like how strong and the trees, planters.

Incredible Photos from around the World Reveal the Majestic Beauty of colors left by Fiery Trails in the Sky
The stunning images of Photographer
Lincoln Harris bring a completely new appreciation for the night sky to capture
the colors and movement of stars. His wide range of bright colors, including
yellows, blue, pink, turquoises, and oranges can all be seen illuminating the
dark sky in locations around the world. We’re sure; you’d like the special
effort of Lincoln Harris, which’ve used the colors of different surface
temperatures of the stars with cooler stars appearing redder and hotter stars
being blue. He used two dissimilar techniques to capture the stars in two ways with
some photos looking like a celestial explosion while the others look like a colorful
pinwheel. Both of images types are achieved by turning the zoom ring on the
lens during the exposure.
The 40 years photographer said; the exploding photographs
are done with a 30 second exposure with a fast zoom, and the spirals are taken
over a few hours with a very slow zoom. Because, i set up the camera and use a
programmable remote to automate the shoot, and it will usually take between 600
and 1,200 x 40 second exposures, which are later stacked using Photoshop. The
stunning colored trails are due to the diverse surface temperatures of the
stars. The colors pallet can also be changed by altering the white balance of
the camera. These photographs were taken in several locations in Australia and USA,
including Yosemite National Park, California, USA, Lake Tahoe, Nevada, USA and
Cape Woomalai, Phillip Island, Australia and Sutton Grange, Victoria,
Australia. He said; by capturing unbelievable photos with just his camera, a
zoom lens - and a lot of patience. I usually have a pretty neat idea of what
I'll end up with when I start shooting the sky. You know, I travel to the
locations to take the photographs, and I stay as long as I need to until I get
the shot I want. To be very honest, I usually get quite bored waiting for them
to finish.
