JEZINKA:
This is not a montage! This is a truly unique photo taken by Japanese photographer Keinichi Ohno titled "Gap". The bird stands at the edge of a body of water with a wall in the background, whose reflection on the water (perfectly aligned with the wall) creates a striking montage illusion.

Kosmický dalekohled Jamese Webba pořídil nový a doslova zářivý portrét planety Uran, na kterém můžeme vidět jinak obecně skryté prstence tohoto ledového obra. Webb zachytil dynamický svět s prstenci, měsíci, bouřemi a dalšími atmosférickými prvky, a to včetně sezonní polární čepičky.Díky své mimořádné citlivosti Webb zachytil Uranův matný vnitřní a vnější prstenec, včetně „nepolapitelného“ prstence Zeta – extrémně slabého a rozptýleného prstence nejblíže planetě.

This building in Fatih, Istanbul, Turkey is an excellent example of architectural styles stratification over the centuries.

It shows three distinct periods:

- Ottoman Empire (middle),
- Republic (three upper floors)

Mt. Tateyama rises 3,015 meters in Japan’s Hida Mountains and is considered one of the country’s Three Holy Mountains.

The Hida Mountains receive as much as 38 meters of snow a year. Piled continuously, that would be snow nearly half as high as the Statue of Liberty.

Amazingly, there is a highway, Route 6, which begins in the coastal city of Toyama, approaches the western flank of Mt. Tateyama and reach a specific point.

In Japan this particular stretch of highway is known as yuki-no-otani, or Snow Canyon.

Kinkaku-ji, Kyoto, Japan
Once the private residence of a villainous shogun, Kinkaku-ji — "the Temple of the Golden Pavilion" — was converted into a Zen Buddhist temple by his son.
That was 600 years ago. It was burned down by a monk in the 1950s and rebuilt beam for beam.

The Choluteca Bridge in Honduras was built with such design strength that it could withstand the worst of hurricanes. When Hurricane Mitch came in 1998, it dumped 75 inches of rain in less than four days and destroyed 150 Honduran bridges, but not the Choluteca Bridge.

While the bridge itself was in near perfect condition, a wider view revealed that the roads on either end of the bridge had completely vanished, leaving no visible trace of their prior existence. Of even greater significance, however, was the fact that during the massive flooding caused by the hurricane, the several hundred feet wide Choluteca River had carved itself a new channel and no longer flowed beneath the bridge at all; the bridge now spanned dry ground.

That time photographer Scott Taylor caught an 'angry bird' in real life.

His camera captured a moment in which a cardinal’s wings were tucked tightly into its body, making the bird look like a fluffy red ball floating in midair.

A photographer captured a stunning image of Christ the Redeemer “holding” the Moon after three years of attempting to get the shot.

KISS OF LIFE

In 1968, the author received the Pulitzer Prize for this photograph - one of the most prestigious awards in the United States, which is awarded for achievements in music, cinema, theater and journalism.

The picture shows two electricians, Randall Champion and Jay Thompson, hanging from a power pole. That day there was a strong heat and nothing foreshadowed trouble. The hum of air conditioners in July 1967 was heard throughout the state of Florida. Because of them, in the city of Jacksonville, there was an overload of power lines, and this caused a power surge.

Randall and Jay were doing routine maintenance on a live line when Randall accidentally touched one of the wires. A discharge of 4000 V passed through the body and his heart stopped. For understanding: during the execution in the electric chair, a voltage of 2000 V is used

Randall's lifeless body hung from the harness. But his partner Jay did not lose his head, realizing that every second is precious, he began to give him artificial respiration right on the pole. It was very inconvenient, but there was no other way out. In such a situation, it is difficult to conduct a normal resuscitation, but Jay still tried to start his friend's heart until he had a weak pulse.

Only after that he unhooked his partner's insurance and, throwing him over his shoulder, went down to the ground. By the time the rescuers arrived (they were called by professional photographer Rocco Morabito, who happened to be at the scene), Champion was already conscious on the ground.
Not only was he saved, thanks to Thompson, but he lived another 35 years. The electrician died in 2003 at the age of 64.

Thompson is alive today.
