On the Internet, text is king. With dyslexia, words and numbers dance before your eyes on the screen. They twist themselves backwards and upside down, morphing on the screen as you desperately try to make sense of them. 

A developer named Victor Windell created a simulation that lets anyone see what it’s like to have severe dyslexia and read online content.

Karolis Janulis loves snapping aerial photos with his drone. His photos of Lithuania provide a fascinating glimpse of the otherwise ordinary world around him. 

Janulis sent his drone up near bridges, castles and other interesting locales dotting the landscape. Sometimes getting an interesting photo required waiting for just the right moment, like a car fishtailing on an icy road. Other times it resulted from pure chance, like when he took a wrong exit and stumbled on several abandoned greenhouses, their roofs pockmarked with holes.

Dusted in white and viewed from above, ordinary landscapes appear somehow miniature and quaint, like the world within a snow globe.

Check out more photos and read about Janulis’ project.

"Designed by Italian architect Giuseppe Perugini in the late 1960s and abandoned since the mid-90s, the radical structure called Casa Sperimentale (Experimental House) can be found in Fregene, Italy, a historic coastal town right in the Rome metro area. Though locals know it well, Italian photographer Oliver Astrologo sought to open it up to the world through a stunning new photo series, isolating the structure's dramatic shapes and geometries and creating, in his words, a sense "uniqueness" and "mystery" with a provocative human aspect. According to Astrologo, Italians also call the landmark "La Casa Albero," or, the tree house, an apt moniker for a surprisingly airy Brutalist gem." via Curbed http://m.curbed.com/archives/2016/01/15/brutalist-ruins-architecture.php?utm_content=buffera2d7e&utm_medium=social&utm_source=pinterest&utm_campaign=curbed

ICEHOTEL 2015

The original ICEHOTEL, Sweden, was founded in 1989. It’s an art exhibition and hotel made of natural ice and snow from one of Europe’s last wild rivers, 200 km north of the Arctic Circle.

This is the world’s first ICEHOTEL and we’ve made it our mission to create life enriching experiences, in Jukkasjärvi and beyond. The walls, floors and ceilings of the hotel are the canvases of designers from all creative disciplines. The artists and art work vary from year to year, each rendition of the hotel presenting an ephemeral collection.

The hotel melts and returns to Mother Nature in spring.
