Mr. Incredible man has back with
some amazing beard sculptures he made on his face. I’ sure you’d be remember he’s
back with more over-the-top beard-dos. He’s famous due to his some as Isaiah
Webb, has been perfecting his beard-crafting skills since 2012, so he’s at the
top of his hair-styling game right now. His beard sculptures are some of the
most advanced we’ve ever seen. Take a breathing look!

Extreme Weather Conditions Turned Mount Javornik into a Kingdom Of Ice
Slovenian photographer Marko Korošec knew save some
memorable pictures of extreme weather conditions, when ice and snow formed impressive
structures. But what he saw after a long climb to Mount Javornik surpassed his
expectations.
After hard ten days of strong Bora wind, snow and freezing
fog soaring over Slovenia, the daredevil Korošec set out to Mount Javornik, eager
to capture whatsoever bewilderment might be waiting up there. Once he reaches
the atop of the mountain, clearing weather showed the sight of widespread
skiing resort covered in tremendously thick and hard ice rime, forming sharp,
ghostly structures, longest spikes reaching over 1 meter.
Well, I’d love exciting weather with full of snow, and I’ve seen
a lot, but this was simply above my imagination what I’ve experienced this time”
says KoroÅ¡ec, who’s specializes in photographing weather phenomenon.

Moulin’s on Glacier
This is something very
interesting when just like rainwater dissolves the bedrock on the Earth’s crust
and produce sinkholes, melt water on a glacier’s surface can melt ice and form
sinkholes too. Sinkholes on glaciers are often called Moulin’s, French for
“mill”. Moulin’s form when summer melts water streams on the surface of the
glacier uncovers a crevasse or other weak spot in the ice and begins to pour
down through the ice. As the water moves downward, its turbulence and heat generates
a narrow, tubular and vertical shaft, up to ten meters wide, that can go all
the way down to the bottom of the glacier, hundreds of meters deep.
Water entering a Moulin and eventually
exits the glacier at base level where it acts alike a lubricating fluid that
plays a huge role on how fast the glacier flows. The melting water accelerates
the glacier’s flow to the sea, where large chunks break off to form icebergs,
leading to further ice loss by speeding disintegration of the ice sheet. Given sufficient
water flow, a Moulin can straightforwardly form over the course of just a
month. This was once formed; the shaft will stay open as long as there’s melt
water to feed the Moulin. If the melt water freezes, the Moulin will start to
fill up with snow and close up. Moreover few Moulin’s’ have been observed to be
present in the similar spot for numerous years; however the spot will continually
move forward with the flow of the ice.

Man-Made Remnants of Second World War That Have Become Part of Coastal Landscapes
Marc Wilson, 46 years old,
travelled more than 23,000 miles to photograph 143 forgotten sites in Britain,
France, Denmark, Belgium and Norway, which includes scenes of crumbling
concrete fortress at the world's largest man-made harbor in Portland, Dorset, elsewhere
there’re pillboxes and batteries almost in the sea, camouflaged by falling
rocks or split in two. Nestled among moss-covered rocks, these forgotten
pillboxes, gun batteries and tank traps are forlorn reminders of how
drastically Britain's coast changed to stop a Nazi invasion. Several of the
Second World War defenses snapped by photographer Marc Wilson now blend in with
their surroundings, dangling precariously over the sea or being split in two by
the forces of nature. Marc Wilson researched the elapsed sites meticulously on
the internet and once he got there; he often found the places he was snapping
were not even well-known among locals.
He says; I've been a photographing
for 15 to 20 years and I would often come across military topics in my work. Similar
most people in England my family have a wartime history and I decided it was
something I wanted to look at more closely. My family came from different
countries like Poland, Romania and Switzerland so they were all caught up in
the conflict. Another member of my family flew in the RAF. One way or another,
as a photographer, I think this is my act of remembrance. I begin with a simple
Google search and moved on to literature and other sources to find the wartime
remains. I knew some of them are very distinguished but others were a lot
harder to find. It was important to me to find more subtle ones, which people
either didn't know about or which blended into the landscape.
Off course I had to do a lot of
research work. A fully high tide would have cut me off totally and once I had
the shot it was a case of grabbing my tripod and running. Another photograph
shows the temporary harbor structures which allowed the landings to happen 70
years ago and which still float undisturbed within sight of the coast. At St
Michael's Mount in Cornwall, a pillbox appears almost completely camouflaged
among oblong grey rocks on an overcast day. Some of the locations are no longer
in sight - either submerged by the shifting sands and waters or by more human
intervention. Some, especially on the continent, were destroyed by the
governments of the countries. Others are hardly visible blending into the
landscape so well that it is an effort to see them.
The expensive £16,000 project was
made possible after almost half the total was raised through online crowd funding.
I know it was extremely unbelievable to get the funds. I truly believe that the
subject matter that inspires everyone and that made me realize how imperative
it was to follow through with the project. These man-made objects and zones of defense
now sit silently in the landscape, imbued with the history of our recent past. However
some remain satisfied and strong, but some are moderately decaying. Various now
lie prone beneath the cliffs where they once stood. Whilst I capture the majestic
beauty of these objects in their landscapes, the series of lovely photographs
becomes much more than a set of traditional landscapes. My goal is that the
collection will become an everlasting photographic record of the past. Source: Dailymail
