Rare and Striking Rainbow Cloud Appears in the Sky

Well, sometimes unnoticed imaginations convert into rare and unique shapes. Just like a stunning phenomenon picture was captured floating high above Eastern Victoria, Australia. It almost seems to be a portal to one more dimension, complete with a rainbow makes a gesture to the other side, but there’s a scientific explanation for these bewitching cloudy formations recognized as fall streak holes. It starts with a process famous as supercooling.

Therefore, supercooling is when the temperature of a liquid is lowered below freezing without it becoming a solid. In this state, the particles will crystallize if even a single “seed crystal” is available to trigger the process. The Bergeron Process is when a mixed phase cloud, containing supercooled liquid and ice, undergoes rapid crystal growth in the center though the water around rapidly evaporates this is what gives you that hole-punched-out-in-the-middle-of-the-sky effect.

Moreover Fall streak holes are originated by a drop in atmospheric pressure and temperature which familiarizes ice crystals into a cloud that has a combination of liquid and super-cooled liquids. Hence, an aircraft flying through a cloud with these conditions can set off a domino effect and start this bizarre marvels. Nevertheless, also recognized as sky punches, or hole punch clouds these natural events are attractive and unusual, rare enough that they are often mistaken for UFOs. Check out some other examples of this extraordinary effect.

Rain Water Gives a New Life to Street Murals

“PANTONE” in the recent times collaborated with the School of the Art Institute of Chicago's designers and art directors to transform Seoul, Korea's streets during the dreary monsoon season. The suitably titled “Project Monsoon” venture bring into being with the artistic team painting Seoul's somber roads with “hydrochromic paint”, which is a type of paint that changes from transparent to opaque when it gets wet and form into flamboyant murals inspired by South Korean culture. Therefore, East Asian customs emphasized on the river and its stylish flow, which is precisely what the designers required to capture in their public works of art. 

These cheerful pieces are then surprisingly revealed as rain falls from the cheerless gray sky and the water droplets come in contact with the ground. Consequently, among a gloomy rainstorm, passersby are given a bit to smile about as an underwater world filled with swimming fish and turtles appear right before their very eyes. However, since it can rain for up to three weeks during monsoon season, the inhabitants of Seoul will have something to look forward to whenever they find themselves reaching for their umbrellas.

Gigantic Urban Flowers Bloom When Pedestrians Pass By Under Them




HQ Architects developed a wonderful public installation that provides an artistic aesthetic to the environment through playfully responsive design. The Warde project, located in Jerusalem's Vallero Square an urban area that's in really bad condition is being given a set of towering flower sculptures, big adequate to draw the gaze of the whole plaza. So, rather than fighting against the marketplace's metropolitan nature, designers sought to work in accord with the municipality. These massive blossoms are motion-activated, which means that they bloom when pedestrians walk by or when trolleys arrive. To flawlessly describe their installation, HQ Architects says, the urban space abruptly reacts to the people using it therefore; people can also utilize the flowers for shade from the sun or for light when dark time’s approaches. Moreover, once the square is no longer busy with people, the flowers wilt and close, their lively petals resting until the next surge of action within their vicinity inspire them to bloom once more.
