The 4,000-Year-Old Termite Mounds


In the seasonally dry, deciduous forests of northeastern Brazil, obscured by walls of thorny-scrubs, is a vast landscape made up of tens of millions of densely packed earthen mounds. These cone-shaped piles of dirt, each measuring thirty feet wide at its base and twice as tall as a grown man, are waste earth excavated by the termites when they burrow tunnels under the soil. Researchers estimate that there are some 200 million mounds here, covering a vast region nearly equal to the size of Great Britain. The amount of soil excavated is over 10 cubic kilometers, equivalent to the volume of 4,000 great pyramids of Giza. This makes them the biggest engineering project by any animal besides humans. Incredibly, some of these mounds are as old as the Pyramids themselves.

Awesome Leaf Carvings

Awesome Leaf Carvings.

Leaf carving requires precision, skill and steady hands, as the surface of the leaf needs to be removed without damaging the rest of it.
Mostly leaves of Chinar tree are used; these resemble maple leaves and are well suited for sculpting. Their apt shape and texture makes it perfect for the artwork.
It's quite a lengthy process that runs into several months and involves drying, boiling, shaving and peeling and again drying.
The artist carves the leaf by hand using tools, and develops a landscape or a picture.
As these carvings are made from actual leaf, no two artworks are same.

Awesome Super-Sized Animals stuffed toys.


These super sized stuffed animals are sure to remind us all of our childhood. When we were kids, stuffed toys had their own important place in our bedroom and our lives. And the best part was, the bigger the better. Now these super sized stuffed animals are so big that even grown ups will look small in front to them. These are the creation of Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman. And the best part of Hofman is he never fails to impress, and what more he is the benchmark for himself, as we haven't come across another artist whose work we can compare with his. Awesome and impressive as usual.
Just kind of a thought, wont these artists get tired being the best?

The World’s Longest Portico

Atop a forested hill, some 300 meters above the city of Bologna, stands the Sanctuary of the Madonna of San Luca, a 12th century Roman Catholic church. You can drive all the way up to the hill, but you can also walk through a specially constructed corridor. This covered monumental roofed arcade consists of 666 arches and stretches for 3.8 km making it the longest portico in the world.
The Portico di San Luca was built between the 17th and 18th centuries so that the sanctuary's icon could be carried up the hill during an annual procession without it getting wet in the rain. Legend has it that around the 15th century there was an extended period of wet season that was ruining crops. When the icon from San Luca was brought down from the hill to the city, the rain stopped miraculously. Since then, every year on the occasion of the Feast of the Ascension, a procession has been taking place carrying the treasured Byzantine icon of the Madonna from the Basilica to Bologna’s Cathedral of San Pietro. With time, the path from the sanctuary to the city center was paved, and then covered with a portico to protect the procession and the icon from the rain that often accompanied the procession.
