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.

Couple Quit Their Jobs, to build a Tiny House to travel around wonderful North America

It is somewhere two years ago, when my partner, Guillaume, and I were both burdened by high rent, a multitude of belongings, college debt and careers that let us to maintain that lifestyle. At the start, I was believed I’d never be able to pursue my passion for writing and Guillaume felt the same way about his photography. One day, we’ve picked up a novel idea of we came across tiny houses. This is beautifully artistically designed tiny dwellings stimulated us to spend our lives and pursue our dreams. We came up with a unique plan of to build a tiny home, and then travel around North America for one year. We’d really like to create a travel journalism portfolio about alternative lifestyles. He’d photograph. I’d write.

We originated our tiny house build with zero construction experience and it is all about of experience we’ve gotten through. We’ve adopted the policy of we’ll learn as we go” attitude and we didn’t realize was that we weren’t just building a home; we were also stimulating ourselves to reconsideration the idea of “home” altogether. After dozens of errors, hard life lessons and a brutal downsize, we hit the road with our one-of-a-kind tiny house on wheels!

Therefore after a painstaking six months and 10,000 miles later, our tiny abode has taken us on a real wild adventure. You know, along the way, we’ve met many like-minded people who build and reside in insignificant structures such as: tiny homes, tree houses, yurts, homemade house boats, etc. Guillaume photos and these alternative lifestyle pioneers in their innovative dwellings, while I write down their stories.

Dragon Lizard Captured looks like Playing with Leaf Guitar in Indonesia

Aditya Permana, a professional photographer in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, in recent times captured this once-in-a-lifetime photograph of a forest dragon lizard that looks like it’s playing a guitar!  Aditya says; he insisted that he did not manipulate the lizard, that he “did not straight photograph the lizard at first, until the lizards feel tranquil and comfortable around me. I noticed it looked like it was playing a guitar and it didn’t move at all. I’d be thinking that such type of opportunity is to take incredible photos a life time chance. Normally wildlife photographer cares not to disturb nature, and they’re very commonly make picture of sensitive animals. Ethic is a part of nature photography.
