Do you know how far a person takes in his life, or how many people have managed to get gold in all my life? These and other cognitive facts you will see under the cut.

During his lifetime, the average person takes such a distance, as if he had rounded the equator five times.

Known for their hospitality, the Bedouin provide their guests with a unique opportunity to experience the traditions and customs of a way of life that is quickly changing. It is this mixing of the old with the new that makes the Wadi Rum Protected Area a vacation destination like no other.

 Even cute girls end up in jail sometimes, probably because they’ve got a run in with a straight female cop!

A compilation of awesome pictures taken during the first five days of the Olympics. Enjoy!

American photographer Bobb Leland presented his new photo exhibition entitled «Half-Drag» to the public. The heroes of his photo project are transvestites involved in a burlesque show, featuring make-up applied only on half of their faces.

These are the things that normally do not happen to ordinary people. They happen only if you are the biggest loser 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.

People deal with books every day. They read them, collect the and give them as presents, as a good book is considered the best present. They say you can not judge a book by its cover, and this is a true statement.However, here is a compilation of the most amazing book designs that will change your perceptions about the covers, and books in general.

These awesome photos were taken by tilt-shift lens principle and one could simply call them optical illusions because what you have before you are actually … real existing places and not some miniatures!

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.

Photo-manipulation is a powerful tool that makes people believe in impossible things. Guys from Worth1000 know this well and are doing all they can to make your lower jaw drop repeatedly!

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!

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

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

Collection of best pictures in the month of January.

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” 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.

 A talented illustrator and photographer, Ben Heine has put together an amazing ongoing project called ‘Pencil Vs Camera.’ His creative thinking combines both art and pictures portraying two different things within the same scene. Ben creates a strong perspective for the viewer by expertly matching the lines of the background scenery. These visual impacts have become a favorite among artists and photographers.

 These photos of Amazonian sweet water dolphins in their natural habitat were taken by adventurer and photographer Kevin Schafer.
