Europe’s Best Scenic Roads


The stunning photographs that show why Europe is one of the best travelling place in the world for a scenic drive. Romanian Photographer Ervin Boer took unbelievable Europe best scenic roads while he travelling with Great Rally company, which organized 3 day trip for car enthusiasts from Belgium to Austria.  The most entertaining 1,250 mile trips the life time memories for me. I actually more photographing than driving and I was hypnotized by the landscapes and curvy roads and was always hanging out the window with my camera ready. Exhausting but I can’t wait to do it again. These are the stunning images that prove that Europe has some of the world's most scenic roads.

While on the road trip, he posts most of his amazing photographs on Facebook, took in Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Austria and travelled on famed roads such as the San Bernardino Pass, the Umbrial Pass as well as highways through the Black Forest. He has been working in automotive photography since 2013, was picked to accompany the trip and capture the images after the founder of the Great Rally Company saw his work on Google. I was ecstatic to be picked to snap the photographs; I would say it was an impressive and memorable 7 days of driving and photography.

Animals That May Soon Be Extinct

British photographer Tim Flach, has spent the more than 2 years to documenting braving their habitats and their brittle existences. Thus, the resulting body of work, Endangered, provides us with a close and exceptional view into the striking lives of Earth's most threatened creatures, and reminds us of everything we should be scared to lose. For most of us, endangered animals are a far-away mystery.

Therefore, from species we are all acquainted with polar bear, snow leopard, cheetah, however to exotic beasts we would only imagine in fantasy films Saiga, Philippine eagle, Olm salamander. So Tim Flach presents a wide spectrum of biodiversity with Endangered, and sheds light on the inimitable challenges each animal faces in order to survive. Thus, some have had their numbers cut down by habitat destruction. While others endure more gruesome ordeals, such as hunting, poaching, and being sold into the black market.

Tim Flach has regularly stated that he set a goal to reveal the relationships that attach humans to our wilder counterparts. Staring into the eyes of the animals featured in Endangered, it's painful to imagine that any one of them would ever be considered less worthy of life than one of us. So, have a look into the most stunning shots from the series, and vote for the ones that took your breath away.

Scientists Detected Earth’s Mysterious “Hum”

For the first time it has been reported that the Earth makes a strange humming sound, on the ocean floor, which has reported in some zones in the Antarctica and Algeria. However researchers consider they can observe it all around our globe. American Geophysical Union explained a new study of earth vibrating on the floor of the Indian Ocean. An investigator stated that these vibrations, generally called the “hum of the Earth,” sound like the static on an old TV, but reduced down 10,000 times. This doesn’t enable some animals to hear it. Though no earthquake takes place on our planet, hence our earth is continuously moving. The air blows, the water flows, the ground collapses, the temperature changes, and so it goes. Investigators believe some of these movements make the agonizing noise, but they don’t know which one is yet.

Therefore, they’ve hypothesized it might be the repetition of oceans colliding, the atmosphere moving, or the fluctuations born of sea and sky alike. If specialists were able to hear the sound clearer, they could discover numerous secrets hidden inside our planet. So, it could even direct them how to draw a map so aliens can find us. Moreover, a different team of investigators studying the hum in the Antarctica said in 1998 that the fluctuations are always sounding. In 2001, one of them from University of California at Santa Barbara described that these are “constant signals” that wave in a range of 2 to 7 millihertz, thousands of times lower than the range humans can hear. Scientists haven’t cracked the code yet, but this new breakthrough could help them get closer to the source of this mysterious noise.

Nonetheless, somewhat is clear: all of them thought the noise is being caught more evident every time. Spahr Webb, a seismologist at Columbia University, is one of the principal researchers in the 21st century who is centered on learning the cause of the hum. Thus, he overruled that the main reason is the communications between the atmosphere and the ground. In its place, he thought that the primary cause is the ocean waves, which bang on the sea floor “pretty much all the way throughout the Earth.” Further, there are moments that two dissimilar waves collide to one another, sending the vibrations they produce deep down the Earth’s crust. Furthermore, there are also other waves which, instead of shocking between them, they hit the ground with enough force to create a much reaction inside the world. The hum was also pro-posed to be induced by acoustic resonance between the atmosphere and the solid Earth, but this can onlyexplain part of its amplitude.
