How Women Bands Looked Like a Few Decades Ago

Administrator — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 14:07:37 +0000

It seems that women in past have been as same active in the world of music and stage arts as they are today. Despite the fact we think that human society was way more conservative about forty or fifty years ago, women were trying to prove themselves as equal to man, probably more than today, and they wanted to be present in every kind of humans activity. Women bands weren’t so popular few decades ago but we could say that today’s world of music is shaped by women. Here you can take a look on how women bands looked like in past, some of photos are more than fifty years old.

Although this is not any kind of another amazing natural wonder, this beautiful tree with differently colored blossoms is definitely an attraction in the Portchester village, in Britain.

In springs, when trees get their blossoms, this tree looks little bit different than the others. One half of the tree has white blossoms and other half has pink blossoms. The visitors who see this tree for a first time are often astonished by what they see. However, the explanation beside this little natural phenomena is pretty simple and obvious.

This tree was formed like this because of some not so successful grafting. People tried to graft an ornamental cherry tree onto the native British cherry tree which was aimed to serve as a rootstock.

The purpose of rootstock was just to provide the newly grafted tree with nutrients and water from roots. However, the rootstock decided to fight and live and day by day, it fought out for almost an equal share of food and space from the rest of tree.

Forgotten Soviet Military Navy Repair Factory in Estonia

You are watching at photos of abandoned Soviet Military Navy repair factory in Estonia. It is placed at Arkula, near Tallinn. This is another one abandoned Soviet military building which once used to be an instrument in Cold War race with United States.

When Cold War ended Russia and rest of Soviet countries changed their military politics and plenty of similar facilities became useless so they had to simply abandon them leaving plenty of military equipment and arms.

You can see here a few of photos which are telling us that this facility also could contain some dangerous biological weapon. However, that fact does not stop kids from local villages to play with that abandoned but very dangerous equipment.

Ephemicropolis – An Amazing Model of Futuristic City Made of Stacked Staples

Have you ever wondered about how New York or some other giant city could look in hundred years? If you have no idea about how it would look like, then, you should see the city model made by Peter Root.

Peter Root made this amazing city model using a bunch of stacked staples. He decided to call it Ephemicropolis. As you can see, he needed a plenty of patience and time to create such magnificent model.

There is a whole ‘forest’ of buildings and skyscrapers of different size. He made this model of city from about 100,000 staples on the surface of 18 square meters. I really believe that, if technological development continues to grow as equal as in previous years, this model could become real, one day but I am afraid that this civilization has slowly reaching its peak.

Those metal sculptures really looks great, and the best thing is that those weird mechanic’s have a lots of fire for you. Those are fire breathing robots and it looks too cool. These creative creators of those weird robots really do have some extra free time. Take a look at pictures and enjoy.

Jumping spiders, flaming bots and unnamed “things” inhabit the Greathouse Labs, providing lots of overheated excitement:

Terminator-like entities haunt the grounds:

Wicked-looking battle bots and robot crawlers lurk in the garage, the walking cannons scurry around like mechanized chickens:

Imagine meeting this thing somewhere in the country field in the middle of the night… You just might become a connoisseur of “grotesque” for the rest of your life.
