Big brands are boycotting/leaving the Russian market to express opposition to Putin’s actions towards Ukraine. So I created a series of edits, what their logos would say if they could speak.
Until flying cars are invented and give us total freedom of movement, we’re stuck using more conventional methods of getting around, such as roads, railways, and rivers. However, if merely hearing the word “infrastructure” makes you yawn, today we have something that will make you realize that it’s actually an art form of its own.
There’s a whole subreddit entirely dedicated to the most stunning examples of infrastructure out there, and the images shared there are absolutely breathtaking. From ingenious Dutch aqueducts to bridges hanging hundreds of meters above deep ravines, check out a collection of engineering masterpieces in the gallery below!
One of the most prominent features of architecture is the aesthetics of a building. An architect has to keep various things in consideration before creating a building, including the shapes, sizes, alignments, and patterns as well as the cultures and contexts in which they are being made.
Some architects have mastered the skill of creating magnificent establishments through sheer talent and hard work. We have collected 30 finest examples constructed by the best architects all around the world. Scroll below to dive into the beauty of these artistic structures.
Back on the 10th of June, an annular solar eclipse, the type of eclipse that occurs when the Sun and Moon line up with Earth, was visible from certain parts of Russia, Canada and Greenland, while a partial one was visible in Europe, Asia and the United States. And just in case you missed it, NASA recently shared some incredible images captured by photographers Aubrey Gemignani and Bill Ingalls.
The two photographers captured the “ring of fire” eclipse from two different points. Bill captured it rising above the United States Capitol building in Arlington, Virginia, while Aubrey captured it above the Delaware Breakwater Lighthouse in Lewes Beach, Delaware. Check out the two photographers’ breathtaking images in the gallery below!
Things can get really dull and mundane in big cities, especially when it’s a metropolis of nearly 5mln people. This Saint Petersburg-born and bred artist, Vadim Solovyev, fills the urban spaces with mysterious and sometimes familiar but oversized creatures. With nearly 60k followers, he posts the curious Photoshop-manipulated images together with short stories as a futuristic blog.
His images feature giant raccoons, chameleons on leashes, sleeping foxes that take up the whole block, and sky-soaring turtles—a concoction of familiar animals found in unexpected places. Bored Panda got to delve into Vadim’s surreal universe and take a look around the urban spaces in Russia with some surprising creatures. And you can check out our previous article here.
My name is Evgeny Ches, I’m a graffiti and contemporary artist from Moscow, Russia. A few months ago, was my first personal show and I want to share it with you.
Anyone can design a concrete box with some windows and call it a building – but it takes a skilled and talented architect to design something that everyone would appreciate even decades after it was built. However, it takes an equally terrible architect to design something that would be universally hated by everyone. And no, today’s post is not about the good ones.
People are sharing photos of the most terrible architecture they’ve come across to the That’s It, I’m Architecture Shaming Facebook group, and you’ll be surprised how badly some architects managed to mess up. From bizarrely placed windows to buildings that look like they’re watching you, check out some of the weirdest examples of architecture shared to this Facebook group in the gallery below!

Some things that always pique his interest are old technologies, literature and all sorts of odd vintage goodness. So if you find something that’s too bizarre not to share, make sure to hit him up!
Got wisdom to pour?
