Brooding Cityscapes Painted with Oils by Jeremy Mann San Francisco-based artist Jeremy Mann executes these sublime, moody cityscapes using oil paints. To create each work he relies on a wide range of techniques including surface staining, the use of solvents to wipe away paint, and the application of broad, gritty marks with an ink brayer. The resulting paintings are dark and atmospheric, urban streets seemingly drenched in rain and mystery. Mann’s work is in no way limited to cityscapes, he also paints the human figure, still lifes, and landscapes.

52 Places to Go in 2015 A revitalized city welcomes the world. Sure, Italy is rich with romantic cities like Florence, Venice and Rome — but its most vibrant might just be Milan. And this is the year for tourists to explore its charms, as it hosts the 2015 World Expo. Twenty million visitors are expected to visit the city for the Expo, a mammoth event that runs from May through October and involves more than 130 participating nations and organizations sponsoring more than 60 pavilions. The Expo coincides with the completion of a number of urban renewal projects that are infusing new life into overlooked quarters, like La Darsena, a formerly dilapidated harbor that will feature tree-lined promenades, bike paths and piazzas. And Milanese restaurants are earning acclaim for their increased focus on diverse regional cuisines from across the Italian peninsula. Related: “36 Hours: What To Do in Milan“
» 8 rincones naturales de Europa donde el agua parece una piscina 101 Lugares increíbles - 9 abr 2013 Muchas veces, son calas o playas escondidas o poco accesibles. O simplemente arroyos (o hasta grietas) apenas conocidas. En todos éstos lugares, hay algo en común: agua cristalina, o increíblemente cristalina (del mar o proveniente de glaciares o nieves eternas). Alfonso Pierantonio Lo que sigue es un recorrido en lugares que invitan a nadar (a menos que el agua esté demasiado helada), o a bucear y explorar paisajes donde la naturaleza se muestra impoluta, donde el agua conforma pequeños estanques de aguas espejadas, o extensiones de arena y agua turquesa que simulan piscinas, pero completamente naturales. 1.

Matheus Lopes’s Website Matheus Lopes’s Flickr Matheus Lopes at Threadless Tees The 6 Creepiest Places on Earth It doesn't matter whether or not you believe in ghosts, there are some places in which none of us would want to spend a night. These places have well earned their reputations as being so creepy, tragic or mysterious (or all three) that they definitely qualify as "haunted." Places like... Aokigahara is a woodland at the base of Mount Fuji in Japan that makes The Blair Witch Project forest look like Winnie the Pooh's Hundred Acre Wood. What Niagara Falls is to weddings, Aokigahara is to suicide. More than 500 fucking people have taken their own lives in Aokigahara since the 1950s. The trend has supposedly started after Seicho Matsumoto published his novel Kuroi Kaiju (Black Sea of Trees) where two of his characters commit suicide there. Also skulls. Besides bodies and homemade nooses, the area is littered with signs displaying such uplifting messages like "Life is a precious thing! "If you commit suicide here, bears will poop on your corpse."

20 Gorgeous Winter Landscapes 57K views 503 days ago by LostInSpace Regardless if you live on the side of the globe that never gets to see the snow, or are one of those who know it quite well – admit it, it does give you some amazing photographing material. This phase of the natural cycle puts everything around us to sleep and lets the nature rest and recuperate before it’s spring again: most animals start hibernating, and the prolonged darkness makes it feel like a constant night time. White fluffy snow provides for a great setting and a natural lightning effect, with sparkling sun reflections or tall tree shadows.

Marvel at the Magnificent Marble Caves Can you imagine something happening that would endanger these exquisite azure caverns? It might if Chile continues with plans to build five hydro-power dams in Patagonia. Photo #7 by © Jorge Leon Cabello The water has eroded the marble to create cavities and marble caves. Amazing geological formations on Chilean side of Lake Carrera. It would be a real shame if the hydro-power dams damage the lake and the marble caves on top of the surrounding natural habitats for wildlife.
