The Secret City of London inside of London City
4 - The Secret City of London
The City of London, which predates London, isn't really a part of London. Whao this is fascinating.

A stunning hybrid of painting and sculpture, these murals from Ran Hwang involve thousands and thousands of pins, beads and buttons.
5 things I learned July 23, 2012
1 - Awesome Slow Motion Aerial Footage of Motorcycles Flying Through the Air
Using Sony's FS700 attached to a remote controlled helicopter, the CopterKids are able to show of these super slow-mo hi-def sequences.
2 - Mario snowland
3 - Football animated with only string
String animation is like gesture drawing, or writing haiku. And here it's about footie, so yay! I must be excited that the English Premier League is starting up soon. And if you are interested I do host a Fantasy.Premierleague.com campaign. Leave a comment and I'll tell you how to join.
4 - The Kalesh, a distinctive aboriginal tribe of Pakistan's Hindu Kush
The current cultural and ethnic distribution across Eurasia may give the appearance of inevitablity, but from the Tocharian mummies in western China (read more ) to the Central Asian Alans settling in western France, there is a much more complex and interesting story to discover.
The modern-day Kalesh are a stunning, human testemant to this complexity.
Graphic design and optical illusions come to life in the work of Takahiro Kurashima
5 - Poemotion Interactive Book Object
With what seems an elegantly simple set of visual and technical elements, Art Director Takahiro Kurashima creates beautifully striking visual effects.
1 - Within Two Worlds
Timelapse, yeah, still not sick of it. Especially when it captures things like star tracks, which I could never see with just my eyes.
3 - 50 days 50 meals
It is actually a project to share a meal, meet and learn about 50 strangers all around the world. It is still in the process. Looks like it is in Day 20 or so.
4 - Run Puma Run
5 - Meet the Superhumans
This promo film for the Paralympics, also in London this summer, is moving, inspiring and awesome.
Photographer Identifies The Original Locations Of Vinyl Album Covers In NYC

2 - Stunning Photos of Europe’s Most Beautiful Libraries
“If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need”
Here's the library parts of that equation. I know there are some other incredibly stunning ones. Anyone remember that one in Scandinavia I think with the big curved wall of books?
5 - Striking photos of car burnouts by Simon Davidson
Photographer Simon Davis has this amazing set of car burnouts which are simultaneous macho and graceful (not that the two are necessarily opposed). Balletics of smoke and machine.
1 - Art of Motion
Capturing bodies in motion with long exposure photos so often leads to stunning imagery. This set is no different. I really like how it looks at both dancers, acrobats and athletes.
2 - New York Park
A little promotional video (promoting Coney Island, of course), this is an amusing mashup of New York's landmarks and fun rides. Fun fun.
