A few weeks ago, I posted about an unbelievable urban wingsuit video from Brazil, but this new feat is even more impressive! The Italian Norwegian Alexander Polli flies through an extremely narrow opening (maybe 10 to 15 ft wide) called “Batman Cave” at 250 km/h..! The cave is located in the Roca Foradada Mountains in Montserrat, Spain, and it’s a breathtaking location for such an attempt.
The Swiss-Japanese artist Maiko Gubler belongs to the creative group in Berlin, originally moving to Germany because she was “charmed by the rawness, the undefined space and the inherent history of Berlin in the 90s.” She works in a variety of mediums — illustration, sculpture, 3D modeling, and graphic design — and all of it is well crafted. buy sildenafil citrate tadalafil online https://www.calmandgentledentalcare.co.uk/wp-content/languages/en/sildenafil-citrate-tadalafil.html no prescription
Red Bull Illume is an action photography contest that occurs once every three years. Patrick Rochon recently captured 3 wakeboarders with LED’s attached to their boards to create this incredible light painting effect. Snap! Orlando came up with the concept and fabricated the boards. Here’s a quote from the Illume site about the project:
“The shoot… …included many challenges in preparation. It’s hard enough to shoot high-speed action in the dark – add in the tasks of outfitting the boards with the waterproof LCD light systems to staging the cameras, lighting and athletes in proper position to secure the shot, and you have yourself a serious photographic mission.
” says Errington, the 24-year-old wakeboarder at the top of his game.
For Rochon, the set-up and planning were extensive, but the motivation while shooting was simple: “Focus on the art, the creativity, and the beauty,” said Rochon, mid-shoot. Fortunately for him, he knew he could rely on the riders to offer performances worthy of the occasion. “I’m really impressed by the athletes,” he added. “They are so fluid in the water, and they understand naturally what we are trying to do here.””
These wakeboarding photographs are reminscent of Jacob Sutton’s Snow Surfer and also the Neon Surfing from Bondi Beach.
The Red Bull Illume competition has produced some pretty amazing results over the years. Here are the Top 10 Winners from the 2010 competition (click photos to enlarge):
Close-Up 2010: Nathan Smith (AUS)
Energy: Stuart Gibson (AUS)
experimental: Daniel Grund (GER)

The Illumination shot from Chris Burkard won the 2010 competition, and I must say that I think it is one of the most beautiful photographs I’ve ever seen. It features surfer Peter Mendia riding waves off Chile’s West Coast.

Lake Baikal, located in the heart of Siberia, is the oldest and deepest freshwater lake in the world. For a short time in March, as the thick ice begins to melt, you can catch a glimpse of these incredible turquoise masses jutting out from the surface. buy zenegra online https://www.sanjeevanam.com/products/wp-content/languages/new/zenegra.html no prescription
Apparently, a combination of wind, temperature differences, frost and sun in the ice crust causes the ice hummocks to form.
New Jersey artist Mike Doyle never stopped playing with LEGOs. He recently spent over 600 hours to assemble 200,000 LEGO pieces into The Contact Series, which was designed to celebrate “spirituality, peaceful ET contact and fantastical worlds. buy kamagra polo online https://cpff.ca/wp-content/languages/en/kamagra-polo.html no prescription

“Like Earth, their civilization is young – under two hundred thousand years old. Unlike Earth, their species evolved from mammals that did not have inter species killing. The concept of war and murder remained unknown to this race as a result of these early evolutionary behaviors. buy levitra professional online https://cpff.ca/wp-content/languages/en/levitra-professional.html no prescription
I slightly cringe to think of the traffic that google will send to the site as a result of this post, but so be it. This JUSTIN BIEBER song is pretty cool. Hah!

It’s really surprising how much the tempo can affect a song. Apparently, this slowed down version served as inspiration for the Slo-Mo narcotic music of the movie, Dredd. Writer and producer John Garland said that Portishead instrumentalist Geoff Barrow “sent [him] a link to a Justin Bieber song slowed down 800 times and it became this stunning trippy choral music.”
The original Bieber song is called “U Smile” from the 2010 album, My World 2.0.
