Most Beautiful Beach In the World
Tucked away into a small inland hollow, right in the middle of a meadow, Playa de Gulpiyuri is one of the most amazing beaches in the world. Imagine walking over 100 meters from the sea shoreline and stumbling over a small charming beach right in the middle of a green meadow. And while you may find other beaches completely hidden from the open sea, around the world, this one is actually fully tidal and even has waves bathing the small strip of golden sand.

Afterlife Series by Heikki Leis
These photographs will change the way you look at spoiled food. Posed dramatically in chiaroscuro lightning, they emerge from darkness with its ridges of rot, velvet layers of fungi, bubbles of tinted perspiration. Artist Heikki Leis, born and working in Tartu, Estonia, studied art, masonry and sculpture and his specialty is hyperrealist pen and pencil drawings. He calls this series Afterlife, appropriately. You’ll forget you’re looking at some indistinguishable vegetable. You’ll think you’re looking at alien landscapes or intricate mixed media sculptures, anything but something “dead” and rotting. They’re just so damn pretty.

Each image in the Alternate Perspective can take anything from a day to a few weeks to finish with the final products being put on display in July.

Miniature World Inside Toilet Paper Tubes
French painter/collage artist Anastasia Elias proves it with a tiny stage, it creates inside cardboard toilet paper tubes.
Anastasia Elias did less art all over the place, inside a roll of toilet paper. Using of paper, similar to the roll itself, it gives the illusion that the scene taking place inside the walls are actually part of the roll itself. Detail and depth of each piece is very nice. She claims it only takes her an hour to complete one, which is also impressive. Amazing works!

Upside Down Around the World
This guy like travelling and making interesting pictures, favors catching himself in an upside down jump, looks really cool. Enjoy!

Most Unusual Gravestones
These people kept their sense of humor even in the darkest of the hours, yes, even in death. Admirable feat I must say! Enjoy!

Cristina Otero Gives Fruit its Brand New Purpose
It is hard to believe these professional-looking, vibrant photographs are done by a 16 year-old photographer named Cristina Otero. Otero’s Tutti Frutti self portraits gives fruits a new personality in these fun and fresh photos. She defines what it is like to be as sour as a lemon, juicy like a pomegranate and sassy and sweet like cherries. Her creative makeup artistry and photoshop skills help her capture the mood of these inanimate fruits.

Awesome Infinity Edge Pools
An infinity edge pool (also named negative edge, zero edge, disappearing edge or vanishing edge pool) is a swimming or reflecting pool which produces a visual effect of water extending to the horizon, vanishing, or extending to “infinity”. The term also is used to describe (however, incorrectly) perimeter overflow pools (pools that may be on level parcels, wherein the water flows over one or more edges, usually flush with the decking elevation). One type of location in which the effect is particularly impressive is where the infinity edge appears to merge with a larger body of water such as the ocean, with the sky (if the pool is located on the side of a hill or field of green).

Tilt-shift Photography

Tilt-shift Photography
“Tilt-shift photography” refers to the use of camera movements on small- and medium-format cameras, and sometimes specifically refers to the use of tilt for selective focus, often for simulating a miniature scene. Sometimes the term is used when the shallow depth of field is simulated with digital postprocessing; the name may derive from the tilt-shift lens normally required when the effect is produced optically.
