National Geographic has just announced the results of its prestigious 2017 Nature Photographer of the Year contest (2016 here), and the winning shots are the perfect celebration of Mother Earth. 11,000 photos were submitted, competing in four categories: wildlife, landscapes, aerials, and underwater. The grand-prize winner will receive $7,500 and their winning image will appear in an upcoming i
These stunning photographs, which look like a glorious late evening sky with dashes of pink and purple, are actually pictures of Japan’s largest wisteria (or wistaria, depending on whom you ask) plant. This plant, located in Ashikaga Flower Park in Japan, is certainly not the largest in the world, but it still comes in at an impressive 1,990 square meters (or half an acre) and dates back to a
Think Norway, and the first thing that comes to mind are fjords, blonde people and Vikings - not fairy tale architecture. Below, you’ll find photographs of architecture in the Norwegian countryside that looks like it’s been taken straight from a fairy tale. The architectural styles range from Stave churches, which were built during the Middle Ages, to ghostly natural waterfalls and traditio
Even if you are living under a rock, you must have heard already that Iceland is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. With only around 320,000 people living there, the country is now becoming packed with tourists flying in from all over the world, coming to see its rich nature. Roaring volcanoes, deep fjords, sharp mountains and glaciers, the country has everything under its roof. Not con
The world has evolved so rapidly over the last 100 years that it's difficult to imagine just how much things have changed during that time. Many of the world's most famous cities - like Kuala Lumpur for example, or Hong Kong - bare little resemblance to their earlier selves, and cities such as Dubai didn't even exist at all until fairly recently. Take a look at these then and now pictures to se
We are young travel bloggers from Poland who did not have a lot of money but we wanted to see the world. We bought an old van for $600, painted it, took tents and supplies of food and just took off. In 6 years we visited more than 50 countries and we traveled more than 150.000 km on 5 continents. We never paid for accommodation (we sleep in the van and in tents) and we eat what we cook. Here’
The votes for the National Geographic 2017 Travel Photographer of the Year contest are in and it's time to announce the winners. This annual competition highlights the diversity of our planet through its natural wonders and inhabitants, and the winning shots are just as awe-inspiring as last year. The judges reviewed more than 15,000 entries from travelers around the word for awards in three ca
Abandoned places have always fascinated me. They seem to exist in a kind of suspended dreamworld left behind after the people who used to inhabit them left. They’re mysterious and they make me to wonder about what might have happened back when these places were full of life. Scroll down to see 30 abandoned places that will get your imagination going, and don’t forget to share this article o
In a world where we constantly chase happiness and fill our houses with stuff we barely ever use, it’s easy to dream of a simpler life in a place where we feel relaxed and stress-free. Perhaps this was what Olive Nest Tiny Homes had in mind when they built this mini masterpiece, which they call Elsa. Of all the tiny homes I’ve seen in recent years, this one has gotten me the most excited
A 1,400-year-old ginkgo tree in China has recently drawn thousands of people from all over the country. Golden leaves have been falling on the ground since mid-November, turning the temple’s ground into a yellow ocean. The ancient tree grows next to the Gu Guanyin Buddhist Temple in the Zhongnan Mountains and is a perfect celebration of autumn. The ginkgo tree, also known as the maidenhair, i
