Fearless One-Eyed Cat Loves Surfing and Swimming in Hawaii

“Kuli” the fearless surfing cat is exactly making waves all across the Internet. Before he was even born, roommates “Krista Littleton” and “Alexandra Gomez” were hoping to adopt a feline friend just like him. Hence more than a year ago, over waffles, Alex was explaining one of the several translations for the name Nanakuli," Littleton. "Nanakuli means to look blind. Alex joked about getting a one-eyed orange cat and naming him just that." Therefore, their wish came true when three-month-old Nanakuli (“Kuli for short”) was serendipitously rescued in Nanakuli, Hawaii and cared for after being found malnourished on the street with an infected eye. Unhappily, his eye had to be removed before Gomez and Littleton adopted him at 6 months old, so far they were still worried about his condition. In the first month we were concerned that our new friend was not going to make it. We think part of the reason “Kuli” is so tolerant of water is because he had to have repeated baths due to his messy health issues.

A Big Thanks to their TLC, young “Kuli” made a complete recovery and the two roommates worked to integrate him into their active lifestyles. Therefore, they started out by walking him on a leash and later took him to the beach so he could progressively learn how to swim with a lifejacket and lead. Moreover before long, “Kuli” mastered the art of both swimming and surfing, so he only needs to wear his life preserver infrequently and no longer needs to be leashed. The daring feline even received his own boogie board and can now be found catching a wave amidst Hawaii's blue-green water with his loving owners.

Brilliant Photography of Patagonia's Untouched Landscapes

The Great Wall of Western Australia

Well, this earthen structure composed of 230m of simple, natural materials, looks like unassuming, yet it is in fact the longest rammed earth wall in Australia. The purpose behind to build to accommodate cattle workers during mustering season in the blazing Western Australia outback, the eco-friendly formation represents a shift in the approach to architectural design of this sort. It is built by Luigi Rosselli Architects and tucked into the edge of a sand dune; this "Great Wall of Australia" is a brilliant example of simple, eco-conscious design. This brilliant design has been fully acknowledged by Australian Institute of Architects, and expectantly represents a shift towards similarly eco-friendly architecture in the future.

The beautiful wall is constructed mainly using iron-rich, sandy clay obtained from the building site and gravel from an adjacent river, which are bound together using water from a local bore hole. Thus, this ancient method forms the exterior façade that is then built into a sand dune which forms the rear and roof of the building. Moreover simple in theory, this results in a structure that naturally stays cool, even in the scorching heat of the outback. 

Therefore, the continuous building contains twelve earth-covered apartments, separated by angled verandas to keep privacy. The talented designer “Sarah Foletta” makes an interior space with a minimalistic yet live-able style, and a central hub on top of the wall offers a place for residents to meet and socialize.  Furthermore, it may looks decidedly elementary, yet this natural, energy-efficient approach towards housing development will save time, money, and resources. 

Mysterious Shadowy Figure, Resembles “The Iron Giant Robot”

A plane passenger captures mysterious shadowy picture, which is resembles the Iron Giant robot, walking on clouds above 30,000ft. A strange picture looks a huge robot walking along the clouds. The robot looks like animated movie The Iron Giant. 30 years old Flyer Nick O’Donoghue was on board an Easyjet flight from Austria to Cork, when he suddenly sensed that a mysterious figure in the sky and grabbed his camera. 

He’s software support team manager from Ireland, believes the figure resembled the Michelin man. Hundreds of online users commented various comments, some saying it resembled The Iron Giant and others believe the shadow to the cloud men in James and the Giant Peach. Some said that the figure was in fact two smokestacks from a power plant or factory. A lady replied: 'I was gonna say the same thing! Reminds me of the end of the movie.' Some said; perhaps just a funky cloud formation but I'd love for someone who knows about clouds to see it and try and explain.' 

He was flying back from a work ski trip in Austria; I was on the window seat with two work colleges beside me. I was gazing out the window, and I could see this figure in the distance in front of us and then as we flew closer this shaped appeared. Therefore, I want to double check, and I asked few ladies beside me to look at it too in case I was seeing things. They were too amazed, and I took few pictures and then aircraft passed it slowly.  

The figure was in view for about two minutes and bit away in the distance. A very interesting point should be come into mind when in October 2015; thousands of people in China claimed they had seen a floating city in the sky. A man was surprised, when they towering sky scrapers appearing from the clouds. Moreover, several believed they had seen parallel universes, weather experts say the phenomenon was down to an optical illusion known as a Fata Morgana.
