Looking at these installations, I imagine they are like clues indicating a secret trail somewhere otherworldly. Like something out of a children’s book, Hansel and Gretel have left a trail, but instead of white pebbles, this time they’ve left retro lamps. Alas it’s not Hansel and Gretel with a new flair for vintage objects, this [...]
Red pepper drying in Hungary, 1968 A little info about Hungarian peppers from Garden.org: A visit to the grocer in Budapest, Hungary, puts an American shopper in a vastly different world of peppers. The typical Hungarian shopper could hardly pass a grocery store without stopping to pick up several of these white peppers to take [...]
He sounds more like a poet than a wood worker, but Josh Vogel of Blackcreek Mercantile & Trading Co is a man of profound thoughts and words. (And I like his outfit too). The Scout magazine visited Josh in Kingston, New York in 2010 and stepped back in time with the wood sculptor to document [...]
A friend sent me the above image this morning which recently appeared on the social media website, 9Gag. The photograph sparked a bit of a debate in the comments section of the site about where this image was actually taken. The source has not been identified and abandoned sites such as Chernobyl, Pripyat and Hashima [...]
They could be the work of a talented scuba diver using precise tools and measurements, but they’re not. Japanese underwater photographer Yoji Ookata, discovered these mysterious circles after almost 50 years of exploring our underwater world. Eighty feet below sea-level and approximately 6.5ft in diameter, Yoji, nor anyone else, had ever seen anything like it. So who [...]

Bioluminescence is the emission of light from an organism. Fireflies, glow worms and plankton all have bioluminescent capabilities. Luminescence occurs when micro-organisms, called dinoflagellates, are disturbed in water [...]
Her ‘brother’ was an elephant and she splashed around with crocodiles … No, this is not the kid from the Jungle Book movie. This is Tippi Degré, the girl who grew up in the African wild and managed to not get eaten. The animals you see in these photos with Tippi were not in any way [...]
As you may know by now, I’m that slightly annoying chick, constantly searching for the quirkier side of life… Camp Kerala began its tent-pitching days at the Glastonbury festival as a 5 star chic alternative to being knee-deep in filth for an entire weekend (sorry Glasto-goers but you know it’s true). From Italian mattresses to [...]
