The American photographer Jim Adams searches for current day landscapes, lighthouses and even rickety barn houses with the intention of collapsing an entire century into one image.

Here is a look at how each of the girls Taylor Lautner has dated shapes out. Lets see if he has made good or bad choices in his dating life style.

This is the terrifying moment the crew of a $1million speedboat were nearly killed after they were catapulted 40ft into the air by a huge wave. The driver was apparently showing off to friends and took the 35ft Donzi powerboat out in rough seas. As he approached the 20ft high rolling wave he hit the accelerator to try and ramp over it.

In the series by photographer Magdalena Bors, entitled The Seventh Day, each photograph features a single person set within a chaotic and surreal domestic space. Bors constructs the bizarre environments as a visual connection between ourselves and the natural world, saying, "I am fascinated by the simultaneous strength and fragility of this connection as we go about our lives, spending most of our time within the confines of the small compartments we call home.​"

Paris-based Swiss artist Felice Varini's paintings are the kind that have one vantage point from which its completed form can be viewed in its fluid entirety. The artist's vast portfolio of anamorphic illusions presents a variety of urban paintings, both indoors and outdoors. His large-scale creations are geometric in their composition and redefine each three-dimensional space they are applied to in such a way that one questions their own vision.

Hamilton Pool Preserve is a natural pool that was created when the dome of an underground river collapsed due to massive erosion thousands of years ago. The pool is surrounded by huge slabs of limestone that rest by the water's edge; large stalactites grow from the ceiling high above. Hamilton Creek spills out over limestone outcroppings to create a 50 foot waterfall as it plunges into the head of a steep box canyon. The waterfall never completely dries up, but in dry times it does slow to a trickle. However, the pool's water level stays pretty constant, even during periods of drought.

Stockholm-based art director Petter Johansson designed a delectable display of geometric foods for Swedish food lab Atelier Food. The meats, cheeses, breads, and veggies are all seated atop a grid board, playfully drawing a resemblance to an architectural blueprint. The edible edifices are both diced to geometric perfection and left untouched as their very own innovative design structures.

Sure, sure — we know Jimmy Fallon is taking the ‘Tonight Show’ reigns, but we humbly suggest these other dudes for consideration. It would be like Leno never left. Or at least a lisping, high-pitched man would still be in charge. Granted some of these are obviously not going to happen (Jim Carrey, David Letterman), but we bet Ben, the guy who can sort of read instant oatmeal directions like Leno, would jump at the opportunity. Here they are, 10 Leno impressionists for your consideration.

On a hot summer day, it's quite typical to see people making sandcastles along the shores of sandy beaches. Whether the constructions are large or small, simple or complex, this fun pastime is something that many beachgoers enjoy. Sculptor Calvin Seibert is someone who has taken this simple activity to a whole new level. He considers building sandcastles as "a bit of a test. Nature will always be against you and time is always running out."

We’ve always known that Iceland has been a country rich in natural and breath-taking landscapes – but it’s the wonderful work of Klara Harden that truly brings the country to life. She’s put together a magnificent video aptly titled “Made In Iceland” showcasing the true beauty and sheer wonder of one of the coldest regions in the world. Shot using a Canon 550D with a Tamron 10-24mm f3.5-4.5 & Nikorr 35mm f2. Once famous for being the home of Björk, maybe now Iceland will also be noted for producing one of the next generation of independent film makers in Klara Harden. Video At The Bottom!

We all love going to the movies, but as you stand ordering your popcorn in the foyer, you may have noticed that some of movie posters you’re seeing look more than a little familiar. There’s a very good reason for that, and here’s why.

Aurora Borealis. The Northern Lights. One of the most beautiful, naturally occurring phenomenon on our home planet Earth. Called by many names throughout the ages (the Native American Cree call it “The Dance of the Spirits”), the Auroras have continued to be a source of awe and inspiration for many.

It has served as the subject of countless incredible, unmistakable images, but recent advances in digital photography have brought us images — and now HD video — like we’ve never seen before! For those of us who live too far away to see it with their own eyes, we give you 6 fantastic videos of the Aurora Borealis. Trust us, you’ll want to sit back and watch these full screen.

This immensely powerful photo series by Mark Laita looks at the contrast between individuals, their life choices and vocations. It’s a truly stunning series of portraits that serve to remind us all, that we’re all created equal – it’s just that sometimes life has a habit of getting in the way. Here’s what Mark had to say about his work: “In America the chasm between rich and poor is growing, the clash between conservatives and liberals is strengthening, and even good and evil seem more polarized than ever before. At the heart of this collection of diptyches is my desire to remind us that we were all equal, until our environment, circumstance or fate molded and weathered us into whom we have become.”

Pusan, Korea-born artist Kim Cogan explores the mystery surrounding waves in his unique set of oil paintings.

Everyone remembers their first horror film, for me it was hiding underneath the covers shaking with fear while Freddy haunted dreams and Ash battled the ultimate evil of the Necromonicon. These classic movies, along with their earlier counterparts, began my life long love of horror. While walking through the aisles of the local video store the horror section always provided the most intrigue, with the promise of knife wielding dolls, zombies and tongue in cheek gore displayed by the video covers and posters hanging on the walls.

At least this way you’ll be able to narrow it down to which bloodsucker might be visiting you late in the night

It’s a depressing reality that these days, most of the music videos released feature that all too familair R&B / pop hybrid complete with those horrible auto-tuned vocals & usual bevy of buxom bikini clad types awkwardly strutting around in too much fake tan. So count your lucky stars that a director & animation wizard like Jérémie Périn still exists and even more so that he’s chosen to work with upcoming Parisian electronic artist DyE on his new single ‘Fantasy’. To be perfectly honest, we’d never heard of DyE’s (aka Juan de Guillebon) until we saw this clip – but on this evidence it’s not a name which will be unknown for long.

Located in Zweibrücken, Germany, The Rose Garden of Princess Hildegard of Bavaria grows more than 60,000 roses of 2,000 varieties and, as a result, Zweibrücken is appropriately known as the City of Roses.
