In his latest series called Aqueous (I and II), artist Mark Mawson from London drips several drops of coloured paint into a tank of water and captures the results on camera. Some people see toadstools and others see huge fiery mushroom clouds like the results of an atomic bomb - but these images are just splashes of paint dripped into water.

The Venice Historical Regatta
Every year, on the first Sunday of September, the Historical Regatta is held in Venice. Hundreds of Venetians pile into the long boats that have plied the city's canals for centuries for the 'Regata Storica' (Historical Regatta), a historical procession that commemorates the welcome given to Caterina Cornaro, wife of the King of Cyprus, in 1489 after she renounced her throne in favour of Venice.
The spectacular historical water pageant is driven by gondoliers wearing historic costume carrying the Doge, the Doge’s wife and all the highest ranking Venetian officials up the Grand Canal in a brightly coloured parade. This is followed by four separate boat races. The winners are awarded flags in place of medals. Until few years ago, together with the symbolic prizes, there were also some kind of awards; the most famous of them was a little living pig, that would parade on a gondola of its own. The pig ceremony has been abolished since few years ago after protests by some animal protection organizations. PETA is always ruining the fun.

Scott Wade Turns Dusty Car Windows Into Work of Art
Most people can’t resist when they see a dirty unwashed car window and end up scrawling funny figures or clever messages like “wash me”. But one artist in San Marcos, Texas is elevating these dust-covered canvases to the level of high art.
Scott Wade uses filthy car windows as canvases to create incredible but temporary masterpieces. He could spend up to four hours perfecting his dirt drawings but one heavy downpour is enough to destroy his hard work.
Mr Wade first rubs oil onto the window and sprays it with Fuller's earth, the type used on film sets, and uses a hair dryer to blow the dirt on. The process takes ten minutes, much quicker than the seven days Mr Wade said it would take to build up a 'natural' canvas by driving a car up and down a dirt track.
Inception’s Inverted City in Lego
A few week ago we posted a couple of Lego creations inspired by the movie Inception. The latest recreation blows all of them to pieces, because not only it looks impressive, it creates the movie’s one of the most visually impressive scene. Using forced perspective, Flickr user -infomaniac- executes it flawlessly.

Anastassia Elias’s Tiny World Inside Toilet Paper Tubes
French painter and collage artist Anastassia Elias creates tiny scenes with paper inside cardboard toilet paper tubes. Anastassia uses paper the same color as the cardboard tubes to build up the intricate pictures of people, which gives the illusion that the scene taking place inside the walls are actually part of the roll itself. The models, which sell for £90 each, come alive when light is shined through the roll from one end. The details and depth of each piece is impressive.

Notting Hill Carnival 2010
The Notting Hill Carnival is an annual event which since 1964 has taken place on the streets of Notting Hill, Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea , London. The event is held each August, over two days and is led by members of the British African-Caribbean community, particularly the Trinidadian and Tobagonian British population or 'Trinis', many of whom have lived in the area since the 1950s. The carnival has attracted up to 2 million people in the past, making it the second largest street festival in the world after the Trinidad and Tobago Carnival held in that country.

Every year, during this time, the usually peacefully trickling River Windrush is invaded by two boisterous teams of local players, battling it out for victory in the annual Bourton-in-the-Water Football in the River match. Hundreds of spectators gather around the grassy river banks to watch the teams fight it out among themselves, in a tradition that is over 100 years old.
Two teams of six from Bourton Rovers Football Club compete in the unique football match trying to control the ball in knee to ankle deep water. Plenty of waters are splashed about and spectators are advised to wear waterproof clothes if they plan on getting very close to the action. Splashing is all part of the fun.

New York: The City That Never Sleeps
Last week The Wall Street Journal sent a bunch of their in-house photographers out in the depth of the night to shoot the New York city when most of its citizens were asleep. But even at those unearthly hours, certain parts of the city was buzzing with activity – hawkers arranging newspapers to be delivered early in the morning, policemen patrolling the streets, late night owls enjoying a drink at a bar and an occasional street peddler or two. This gallery showcases those people who are awake when most of the city is not.

View All...Afghanistan: In 1994 and 2010
Photographer Seamus Murphy, of VII Photo Agency, returned to Afghanistan in June 2010 and revisited some of the locations he had photographed on his first trip to Afghanistan in 1994. After all these years of violence and war, and billions of dollars spent on the supposed development, it is surprising how little has changed.
I returned to Afghanistan in May/June 2010 and revisited some locations I had photographed on my first trip to Afghanistan in 1994. It was surprising how little had actually changed after all the years of violence and tumult in Kabul, and after all the billions of dollars that Afghanistan and the Afghans are supposed to be grateful for receiving. Not much evidence of it here.
I was able to reframe the original places using reference points like poles and structures that were still standing from 1994. I was also helped by advice from locals who became excited when they saw the prints that I had brought of my original photographs--they had not seen too many photographs of their neighborhood from those years. And then they would become quiet, shaking their heads at the madness of their history. Many had been refugees who had fled the fighting to Pakistan or Iran, some had spent time in the UK and the U.S. Police were suspicious and, at times, dismissive of me but once they realized what was happening, helped me in their own way.
Tomatina Festival 2010, Spain
La Tomatina is a food fight festival held on the last Wednesday of August each year in the town of Buñol in the Valencia region of Spain. Tens of metric tons of over-ripe tomatoes are thrown at each other in the streets during this day. The week-long festival features music, parades, dancing, and fireworks among other things. On the night before, participants of the festival compete in a paella cooking contest. This festival started in a casual way in 1945, but wasn't officially recognized until 1952.
These images are from the Tomatina festival on August 25, 2010.
The Grand Canyon of Verdon
The Verdon Gorge in south-eastern France has been dubbed the Grand Canyon of Verdon because of its topological similarities with the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River, United States. The Grand Canyon of Verdon is about 25 kilometers long and up to 700 meters deep and measures 200 to 1500 meters from one side of the Gorge to the other. It is formed the Verdon River, which is named after its startling turquoise-green colour, one of the canyon's most distinguishing characteristics. The most impressive part lies between the towns of Castellane and Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, where the river has cut a ravine up to 700 metres down through the limestone mass. At the end of the canyon, the Verdon river flows into the artificial lake of Sainte-Croix-du-Verdon.
Because of its proximity to the French Riviera, the canyon is very popular with tourists, who can drive around its rim, rent kayaks or hike. The limestone walls, which are several hundreds of meters high, attract many rock climbers. It is considered an outstanding destination for multi-pitch climbing. There are routes encompassing cracks, pillars and seemingly endless walls. The climbing is generally of a technical nature, and there are over 1,500 routes, ranging from 20m to over 400m.

Tsingy de Bemaraha Strict Nature Reserve is located close to the western coast of Madagascar. This 666 square kilometer region has been classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1990 because of its unique, breathtaking geography, preserved mangrove forests, and wild bird and lemur populations.
The Tsingy rise up to 70 meters from the ground. At these heights, the tops are bare and razor sharp. At lesser heights, one gets to see vegetations with roots tens of meters below.
The word tsingy is indigenous to the Malagasy language as a description of the karst badlands of Madagascar. The word which translates into English as “where one cannot walk barefoot”, aptly describes the exceptional topography. This topography of eroded limestone may exist in other areas around the world, but nowhere as tall, slender and extensive as the spires here. Beneath this apparent austerity, an extraordinary world of forest canyons, humid caves and burning karst karren is inhabited by fundamentally differing plants and animals who thrive in close proximity.

Superheroes Gone Wild
Italian artist Giuseppe Veneziano recently opened a show that features superheroes and various loved cartoon characters as well as prominent historical personalities doing unspeakable acts of crime and passion. Catwoman, Robin and Batman having a threesome, Spider-Man snorting cocaine, Spider-Man and Batman hand-cuffed and masturbating Wonder Woman are among a few of them.
The show in Pietrasanta, Italy has stirred up controversy due mostly to it’s image of a baby Hitler cuddling up with the Virgin Mary, but it also features several other strange images of beloved and some not-so-beloved characters engaging in ridiculous activities.

The Bottle Tree Ranch created by Elmer Long offers one of the most strangest sight along Route 66 in California’s Mojave County.
When Elmer was a kid, he used to travel through the desert, with his dad, who would collect any objects they found, and painstakingly keep notes about their location. After Elmer’s dad died, he was left with a sizable collection of colorful bottles, but he had no idea what to do with it. One day Elmer put some of the bottles on a wooden post and created the first bottle tree. The next morning when the sun rose and shone through the colored bottles, he was strangely mesmerize. He knew what to do with the bottles. Elmer Long started the Bottle Tree Ranch in 2000, and since then has created over 200 bottle trees.

Miss Universe 2010 Finals in Pictures
On August 23, in the final showdown of the Miss Universe 2010, 83 participants from around the world gave their last best effort for the title of beauty queen. The crown winner was 22-year-old Jimena Navarrete of Mexico. The new Miss Universe got a diamond tiara with a set of jewelry from Diamond Nexus Labs, and a prize money, the size of which the organizing committee refuse to disclose. We know it would be substantial.
In addition to jewelry, Miss Navarrete received an assortment of prizes which includes a one year scholarship (including housing) from the New York Film Academy, a set of collectible shoes, bathing suits, sets of skin care, hair services of leading hairdressers, stylists, dermatologists, and what not.
Miniature World Heritage Buildings at Tobu World Square
If you have a dream to travel the world, but have a budget to visit one country, choose Japan and visit the Tobu World Square in Nikko. This theme park contains over a hundred 1:25 scale models of famous buildings designated as World Cultural and Heritage Sites by the UNESCO and other important landmarks, complete with 140,000 1:25 scale miniature people. As incredible as it may sound, no two of the 140,000 miniature residents at Tobu World Square looks alike! The park also has 20,000 real bonsai trees.
The White House
At Tobu World Square, it took 5 years for artisans to create the miniature reproductions of world historical sites like the Sphinx, the Parthenon, the Great Wall of China and the World Trade Center. From these pictures, it is impossible to tell whether they are real or models. Take the visitors out of the picture and your sense of scale is seriously impaired.

Beautiful Adhesive Tape Art by Mark Khaisman
Ukrainian born mixed media artist Mark Khaisman uses translucent packing tape on Plexiglas panels with a light source behind to create incredible images that have the shadow and depth of large scale paintings. Khaisman uses several layers of tape to give the pieces contrast and thinner stripes of tape to achieve smaller “brush strokes” and utilizes the natural crinkles to create subtle texture as needed. The artist achieves even complex features in the faces of his characters, as can be seen from this image gallery. Totally awesome.

The Termite Pavilion: View Inside a Termite Mound
The ‘Termite Pavilion’ is a six square meter walk-in wooden structure inspired by the inside of a Namibian termite mound that was on display at the Pestival, a festival dedicated to insects, in London last year. The ‘Termite Pavilion’ allowed Pestival goers a unique insight into these extraordinary organic forms.
The piece is in part based on the pioneering work of Dr Rupert Soar of Loughborough University’s School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering and the TERMES (Termite Emulation of Regulatory Mound Environments by Simulation) project, a team of international experts based in Namibia who have created the first ever 3D scans of termite mounds. The termite mound scan was then scaled up to a size that allowed humans to move about the sensational structure.

Chinese artist Ju Duoqi recreates the world-famous paintings from potatoes, onions, cabbage and other vegetables. It started in the summer of 2006 when she bought several kilograms of peas. She sat there quietly for two days peeling them, before stringing them on a wire and turning them into a skirt, a top, a headdress and a magic wand. She took a photo of herself in them, and named it Pea Beauty Pageant. That was Duoqi’s first work of vegetable art.
For the next two years Duoqi created dozens of sculptures often pacing in front of vegetable stalls, deliberating on different vegetables as she mentally sketched her “paintings”. Duoqi was born in Chongqing in 1973. In 1996 she graduated from the Sichuan Institute of Fine Arts, and has been working as a freelance artist since 2005.

The Longest Bench in the World
The longest bench in Britain and soon to the longest one in the world was opened to the the public in Littlehampton, West Sussex on the 30th July 2010. The bench has a seating capacity of over 300 people and lies along Littlehampton’s promenade, overlooking the town’s Blue Flag beach. The bench winds along the town’s promenade, meandering around lampposts, bending behind bins, and ducking down into the ground to allow access between the beach and the Green.
The 324-meter-long bench is made from thousands of hardwood bars reclaimed from sources including old seaside groynes and rescued from landfill. The variety of reclaimed timbers sports splashes of bright colour wherever the bench wriggles, bends or dips. The bench is interspersed by two giant shelters within which bench loops and turns and bounces off the wall. It is quite a sight.

Lexus Art Installation - CT Umbra
This artistic sculpture, titled CT Umbra, is a part of the Lexus debate series tour called Darker side of Green. Created by Los Angeles-based Nondesign, the installation aimed to highlight the two seemingly opposing features of the vehicle - luxury and eco-friendliness – by changing colors from luxurious gold to earthy green and blue.
The sculpture is based on a map of vertical lines created from the CAD model of CT 200h. It was built of 2,500 half-inch anodized aluminum bars cut to the exact measurements of the map. Lexus introduced the debate concept in March with a celebrity-attended press event at Skylight West in New York just before the car’s launch at the New York International Auto Show

Dalton Ghetti Creates Amazing Sculptures On Tips of Pencils
Dalton Ghetti, an artist from Bridgeport, U.S., has spent a good 25 years of his life working with a razor blade, a sewing needle and a sculpting knife to carve unique miniature sculptures on the graphite of used pencils.
The 49 year old said: "At school I would carve a friend's name into the wood of a pencil and then give it to them as a present. Later, when I got into sculpture, I would make these huge pieces from things like wood, but decided I wanted to challenge myself by trying to make things as small as possible. I experimented sculpting with different materials, such as chalk, but one day I had an eureka moment and decided to carve into the graphite of a pencil"
