Animal hybrids

There are many strange animal hybrids around the world. The cross of two related breeds can give a fantastic creature that looks totally out of this world, for example:

Liger is the biggest cat living on earth, it's a cross of a lion and a tiger




Zetland is a cross of a zebra and a pony 


Geep is a cross of a sheep and a goat 




And leopon, a cross of lion and a leopard. These beautiful animals are bred for their fur

Ice cave

The Eisriesenwelt (german: "World of the Ice Giants) is the largest ice cave in the world located in the Austrian Alps, near Salzburg. Its length is more than 42 km. In the beginning, the locals believed that the cave is the entrance to Hell. Then in 1879, a scientist from Salzburg explored the first two hundred meters and that allowed further explorations. The cave is open from may to october and the temperature is ordinarily below freezing so warm clothes are required. Inside the cave there are many extraordinary, natural ice sculptures. All this looks unbelievable, beautiful and totally out of this world.

Fantastic Mr. Fox

Recently, I've watched very interesting movie entitled " Fantastic Mr. Fox". This production is very specific because it mixes several forms of animation, mainly stop motion. The movie is from 2009 and is based on the Roald Dahl children's novel of the same name. The story is about an urbane fox who steals, together with an opossum, food from three farmers. The men are furious and they decide to kill the fox so they are trying to destroy his home but the animals manage to escape all the time.
The film features the voices of George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Bill Murrey among other great actors and was directed by Wes Anderson. It's simple, entertaining, beautiful and is suitable both for children and adults.

Street art

Street art is a very specific field of art. We can find it in public locations, in other words, on the street. It's more than a simple graffiti which is an act of vandalism. Street artists create art in public spaces because they want to gain attention of bigger public. This kind of art can be called sometimes : "urban art", "guerrilla art", "post-graffiti" or "neo-graffiti". Lot of artists have their own style and their work is known on the street. There are even several festivals of street art. I think that this is fantastic. Some of these paintings are beautiful and creative. They bring some colours to the gloomy streets of big cities.
