Considering the fact that the streets of Berlin contain so much quality street art, we can qualify them as an outdoor museum that keeps surprising passersby, especially tourists who come visit the city.

The point of this kind of art is to boost awareness, originality and to provoke people to think with their own heads. However, it’s surprisingly how much creativity hides in young minds who decided to paint the city and managed to attract people’s attention and paint their minds on the street walls.

If you still haven’t visited Berlin and enjoyed its ‘outdoor museum’, you don’t know what you’re missing. Scroll down and let us show you. Who knows, maybe peeking into the street art of the Berlin walls will make you catch the first plane to visit this artistic city.

You all must have heard of the famous adventurist, Steve Irwin, known as a nature expert and television personality from Australia. His nickname ‘’The Crocodile Hunter’ tells it all.

He passed away 11 years ago at the age of 44, after being pierced in the chest by a stingray barb while filming an underwater documentary film titled ‘Ocean’s Deadliest’. He wasn’t killed by the many crocodiles and other dangerous animals he was hanging out with, but by a fish. What an irony.

However, he will always be remembered as a brave, wild and free spirit man who enjoyed his work and brought passion in everything he did. Let’s check out his most dangerous moments in the wild. Scroll down and let’s give this animal lover the proper respect he deserves for living his life on the edge with his wild companions.

It’s out pleasure to introduce to you this unique and creative film-maker and photographer, Gregory Colbert from Canada.

Gregory is most known for his ongoing project called ‘Ashes and Snow’. The project consists photographic artworks, a one-hour film, and two short films ‘haikus’, and a novel in letters all presented in a purpose-built temporary structure called the Nomadic Museum.

Today we’re going to show you only the photographic artworks that we borrowed from his website. His art’s purpose is to reawaken an ancient memory of the time we as humans lived in balance with our animal kind. He began creating ‘Ashes and Snow’ back in 1922 and since then, he made expeditions to every continent to collaborate with more than one hundred spices around the world.

His work is astonishing because of his pure will to create something beautiful and light up the spark of our fires that once burned in people’s eyes. And that spark is called ‘freedom’. Check out his work and hold your breath, because you’re going to need it after.

If you liked our previous post about the creepy beautiful abounded houses around the World photographed by Rebecca Bathory, then today is your lucky day. We finally made a sequel of it with even more beautiful photographs from Rebecca’s website who has over 100.000 faithful followers on the social networks that admire her work.

She keeps the location of the places, especially houses – secret because of their security and possibility of other photographers finding the places and copying her work. The British photographer who lives in London admires the beauty of abandoned places, calling them the ‘Orphans of Time.’ Scroll down and check them out!

If you’re an artist then the surreptitiously meaning of art is definitely familiar to you! Being an artist means to express your emotions, messages and advises trough your talent, no mater if it’s writing, painting, singing or creating some other different kind of art.

The ‘problem’ with artists is that they always create their masterpieces with surreptitiously meaning and other people enjoy revealing or presuppose what they wanted to say trough their work!

Today we’ve made a little collection of artistic photos with surreptitiously meaning that we hope you will uncover or if you can’t, don’t worry! Sometimes even artists themselves can’t reveal the true meaning of the art pieces they create!

If you haven’t heard of it yet then it’s time you meet the unusual amazing creature that looks like a mouse with the biggest ears ever! The name of this jumping mammal that’s absolutely adorable is Jeroba and it lives in North Africa and Asia, in both hot and cold deserts including Gobi desert and Sahara desert.

Their erratic jumping is good for evading predators and likely for finding hidden, random food resources, but it’s not very good for their energy because it takes a lot of their energy jumping around unlike other small animals that walk instead. The most interesting fact about these creatures is that they don’t drink water! Other interesting characteristics of Jerboas is that they have an excellent hearing, their diet is based on plans, their lifespan is two to three years and they have a very long tail that’s even longer than it’s whole body! Enough of the talking, scroll down and take a look at this extraordinary creature that’s extremely cute!

Nothing is impossible because the word itself contains ‘possible’ and only those who dare erasing that ‘im’ will go beyond limits of everything they wished for and get it some day!

For example, these people wished to hang out with wild animals and show others that animals are bad only if you treat them bad. But if you know how to approach them properly and offer them your friendship and love, they will do the same and be dangerous for everyone else except you, offering their true friendship!

The problem with us people is that we think we own this Planet and always forget that we don’t own anything, not even our lives. We were created to live with animals on Earth and NOT to kill them! Scroll down and see what true friendship looks like!

If you’re following the trend called ‘reading’ lately, especially in cold days like this one then you already know what we’re talking about!

Fireplace + a good book + hot drink = perfection! Just seeing photos from this kind of atmosphere makes you want to be left alone for a little while and enjoy your own company. We don’t know why but this combination lately seems more attractive than going out in nightclubs and partying during the weekend in winter.

Scroll down and rest your eyes with this cute collection of fireplaces, books, hot drinks, thick socks and inspiration in the air! Enjoy!
