If you are going to spend time on a cycle to workout, might as well find another good use of all that energy you put in. It’s a win-win scenario, you get your exercise and generate energy to power your device. We are assuming it was with something like this in mind that Pedal Power came into existence.

These mechanical sculptures are built using a wide array of metallic objects, which diversely range from spark plugs, springs and gears to spoons and forks. Bulagarian artist Dimitar Valchev creates a variety of sculptures that represent insects, birds, monsters and other forms of life.
Starpath looks like it came straight from some wonderland fantasy universe. Its origins however, are much more modest, which in no way changes the fact that the path itself looks absolutely stunning. Developed by UK based company Pro-Teq, the path is basically a glow in the dark product that can be applied directly to a pavement or surface.
UK based Italian artist Paola Bazz reworks and re-uses printed paper to create three dimensional collages that have a three dimensional effect. The choice of printed paper comes as a metaphor for everyday life where a fair amount of information of our lifestyle and culture lives, and of course, the printed paper is a medium that has tremendous power of effect. It is full of text, images, faces, human figures, and the mighty power of communication that it represents.
These fantastic views of what appears to be a wonderland have been captured by European Space Agency (ESA). Coming across as some very stunning views, these images present a satellites-eye-view of our planet.
Water is what keeps humans running, and we have used, abused and marveled at it forever. Titled Water, a project by Edward Burtynsky presents a visual catalog of this most precious resource. It is currently on display at the Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery and Howard Greenberg Gallery in New York City, and at the Flowers Gallery in London. The project has also spanned into a book and a feature documentary Watermark.
Lake Natron in north Tanzania is quickly gaining infamy as the lake that turns creatures close to it into stone. Documented by photographer Nick Brandt, the eerie lake is housed in very extreme conditions. Temperatures in the lake can reach as high as 60 °C (140 °F) and its high soda and salt content gives it a pH in the range of 9 to 10.5, making it very alkaline.

Golden Eagles are quite the prolific hunters. We have already seen them try to take away a toddler, take down wolves, but that was done with the aid of humans who probably help tire the wolf out before the eagle went for a swoop. As it turns out, even in the wild, golden eagles are not averse to attacking prey much larger than themselves, and they’re often successful. A wildlife camera set up in a remote region of Siberia shows just how dangerous an eagle can be.
WWF France made this video titled “Change is Already There” to celebrate 40 years of the organization.
The Antarctic landscape is covered in a thick layer of ice, white being the predominant color on the entire continent. However, like everywhere, exceptions to the rule must exist for the Antarctic as well, one of them being this scene where the ice seems to bleed. Blood Falls of Antarctica are the product of blood-red water gushing from a hole in a glacier.
