Bicycling is a cheap and healthy way to get around, but a steep hill can become a casual cyclist’s Achilles’ heel. Luckily, the Norwegian city of Trondheim has a solution to this problem – a bike escalator. Invented in the 90’s by a commuter who grew tired of showing up to work sweaty and exhausted, the Trampe lift, recently upgraded and reinvented as the CycloCable, has already carried over 200,000 bicyclists up this 150m-long cyclist deterrent.

Self-taught artist Ra Paulette has spent the last 25 years turning the hillsides of northern New Mexico into unbelievably ornate caves. The 67-year-old doesn't use big, fancy machinery either. He digs out the caves and carves detailed patterns within their walls with basic hand tools.

A wonderful toy company called Budsies will take any child's doodles and turn it into a real-life toy for him/her. Even if the kids find they're having trouble creating their own character, the company's website provides a variety of templates (designed by illustrator Echean Edmundson) to choose from and build upon, whether that means adding extra legs, perhaps another eyeball, some sort of prop, or simply coloring the character in to their heart's content.

The stone huts and streets of this Italian city look like a scene from a fairytale. The buildings you see before you are called trulli. The rise in popularity of such houses was in 19th century when they were constructed as storehouses and temporary field shelters or as permanent shelters by agricultural laborers and small proprietors. Wouldn’t it be amazing to own such a house? To become engulfed by the fairytale as you sip a cup of coffee, looking out of a small window onto a crowded street.

There's nothing quite like a child's drawing. Even the most eccentric artist can only hope to achieve a fraction of the creativity that goes into artwork made by a kid.
