The Amazing Sea of Stars

This picture is not photoshopped. What you’re looking at is Bioluminescent Phytoplankton (food for fish and whales) washing up on the shores of Vaadhoo Island in the Maldives. 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…

The Luxury Villa embedded into a Mountain

Last week we took a look at the Flinstone’s house up for sale in California, and this week, I’ve stumbled upon another amazing cave house, this time, it’s embedded in the Swiss Alps and more suited to James Bond than Fred Flinstone… The only reason Bjarne Mastenbroek and Christian Müller, from the architecture firms SeARCH and…

The Little French Girl Who Played with Wild Beasts

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…

13 Extremely Worrying Easter Bunnies

How parents let their children near any of these bunnies is beyond me.

Happy Bunny-filled Easter! Meanwhile in Spain …

While the rest of us are sitting here with our sparkly cream-filled easter eggs and cute pastel bunnies, spare a thought for the Spanish. It’s Holy Week in Spain and that means no one gets to have an Easter egg until the traditional religious processions are out of the way. In the week running up…

Here’s a bunch of Adele photos by the Guy who Broke her Heart (and made her #1)

Adele’s album, 21, is the kind of album that probably would have saved my life if I was going through an awful breakup at the time of its release. Thankfully I wasn’t, because I no longer think crappy relationships are fun, but even listening to her tear-jerker album from a happy place, I still think…

Coco Chanel was Definitely a Nazi

That’s quite a statement isn’t it? You may have heard rumblings about this back in August 2011 when author Hal Vaughan released his book Sleeping with the Enemy: Coco Chanel’s Secret War. But I don’t think we’ve really heard enough about it. I don’t really think we got a firm grip on the fact that today’s most…

The Incredible Art of being Incredibly Bored

You know when you’re mindlessly bored at work and you start to build little sculptures by stacking plastic cups, erasers, highlighters or any other crap you can find lying around your desk? Well here’s a guy who made it into a real art form. This is the work of Herve Graumann. He makes patterns using real…

The Flintstones House is up for Sale!

The Flinstones Save Christmas is definitely in my top ten favorite childhood movies of all time, so you can imagine how excited I was to come across these pictures of a Flinstone’s-inspired home in Malibu. The house up for sale belongs to legendary TV host Dick Clark– the Ryan Seacrest of his day, and has an…
