Today we decided to write about something you may or may haven’t heard of. It’s a way of taking photos, called frog’s perspective.

If you wonder why frog’s perspective, just remember how people say that they’ve made some awesome photos from an airplane, or better said from a bird’s perspective. Well, the opposite of bird’s perspective, in the world of artists is the frog’s.

Now, if you think that amazing photos can be made only from above, you are totally wrong and this photos we have collected for you, are going to prove that.

Also, according to me, photographers who have chosen to take photos from this perspective, are much more creative and realistic, because it’s not how much beauty you see in the World when you are above it, but how much beauty you see in it when you are down. Enjoy!

Who says that architects aren’t real artists? If you think that they can only construct normal, boring buildings, you’re wrong.

Maybe they wanted to study art and after finishing architecture they realized of their mistake at picking the right school or maybe they just want to be creative, we don’t know, but we sure know that some architects are doing their job better than you can imagine.

Just looking at these buildings on picture can make you wonder if you’re in a science fiction movie or are they really that big and have that amazing shape. We won’t mention what you will feel like standing in front of them. Scroll down and enjoy!

If you haven’t, the temple of the Sun Solstice in Machu Picchu is a semi-circular construction built over a strong rock, adapted to the natural environment.

On the temple of the Sun there’s a tower with a trapezoidal window, built over a rock of pure granite and in this place the persons who were in charge of the cult of the INTI (The principal god, the Sun) they keep several mummies to be worshiped.

This place is a must see attraction on you agenda, since that this is a very special place with great energy. The gate has a very interested security system, which includes many metal rings that functioned to avoid that the common people was able to watch the rituals dedicated to the sun. Take a look!

Scaliger Castle is located in the Italian lakeside town of Sirmione.

Sirmione has a beautiful historic center which is situated on top of a small peninsula that juts out into the southern portion of Lake Garda.

This castle is remarkable by its very rare fortified port and was built in the 13th century. It sure dominates the landscape of the town with a large moat where ducks and swans can be seen today. From the top of the tower, beautiful views of the Lake Garda can be enjoyed.
