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!

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, is the only one whose location has not been definitively established.

The Hanging Gardens were a distinctive feature of ancient Babylon. They were a great source of pride to the people.

Possibly built by King Nebuchadnezzar II in 600 BC, the gardens are believed to have been a remarkable feat of engineering: an ascending series of tiered gardens containing all manner of trees, shrubs, and vines. The gardens were said to have looked like a large green mountain constructed of mud bricks.

The post The petrified people in Pompeii first appeared on paradoxoff.]]>

Pompeii was an ancient Roman city located in the Campania region of Italy. It was destroyed and buried under volcanic ash in AD 79 from the eruption of volcano Mount Vesuvius.

The eruption killed the citizens, burying them under tons of ash. Evidence for the destruction originally came from a surviving letter by Pliny the Younger, who saw the eruption from a distance and described the death of his uncle Pliny the Elder, an admiral of the Roman fleet, who tried to rescue citizens.

During the excavation, plaster was used to fill in the voids in the ash layers that once held human bodies. This allowed one to see the exact position the person was in when he or she died.

Pompeii is a tourist destination for over 250 years till today because there is always interest at tourists to see this place and his petrified people and animals inside. Take a look!

Even if we know it’s dangerous, we would die to see a tornado, hurricane or tsunami even once in life, not considering the fact that maybe that will be the last thing we will see ever again.

These disasters are also masterpiece of the nature, because let’s face it that photographers who took this photos, captured a hell of a unique attractions. Hope they’re still alive though. Scroll down and get jealous for not being there!
