The Inca-built "Stair of Death" leads to the summit of Huayna Picchu, towering over 8,850 feet (2,700 meters) in Peru.

Created 600 years ago, these precarious stone steps allow access to the top, where the Incas constructed temples and terraces.

The sheer vertical climb is a testament to their architectural ingenuity and resilience, as they transformed the rugged landscape into functional spaces while connecting the sacred site to the sky.

Francie, 1980 / 140 psů, utracených SP (Společnost na ochranu zvířat), bylo umístěno na dálnici Magny-Cours.
Majitelé dali své mazlíčky usmrtit, protože.nenašli nikoho, u koho bychom je nechali, když odjížděli na dovolenou.
Fotografie se stala symbolem maloměšťáctví, společenské stupidity, nelásky ke všemu živému.
Pro jejich majitele se ukázalo, že dovolená je důležitější život zvířete.

Na žádost fotografa bylo na dálnici vedoucí do přímořského letoviska vyloženo 140 psů, utracených za pouhé dva dny!

This is what an Igloo looks like when you build a fire inside. The fire inside melts the inner layer of ice, and the cold outside refreezes it adding a layer of insulation that can keep the igloo at 60° inside while it's -50° outside.

A green death. The oriental whip snake caught a green crested lizard and was in the process of swallowing it. I had a telephoto lens on to be able to snap this photo from far away enough not to disturb its meal. I’ve been hoping to find a predation with these two species for a while now because of how they look. The details and colours are so vibrant and every shade of green, synonymous with life.

Prior to 1920, it was possible to send children through the US Postal service. However, there were certain conditions that needed to be met. Firstly, the children had to weigh less than 50 pounds, and stamps were attached to their clothing as a form of payment. Surprisingly, it was often more cost-effective for individuals to send their children via mail rather than opting for train transportation. Interestingly, during the journey, the children would travel on a train, specifically in the mail car, where they were supervised and provided with nourishment by mail clerks. One remarkable example of this unconventional practice involved a distance of over 700 miles, from Florida to Virginia, covered with a mere 15 cents worth of stamps.
