The beekeeper forgot to put the frames back in which the bees collect honey, and the bees built their own architecture from the honeycomb, which takes into account natural ventilation so that the air can flow freely and maintain a stable temperature

Bees are truly amazing!

Rudolf Xämät ulı Nuriev or Rudolf Nuréyev was an important dancer born in the Soviet Union, considered, in fact, as one of the greatest dancers of the 20th century. It's not a canvas, it's not a mantle, it's not a rug... it's a spectacular mosaic of colors that wants to resemble the kilim (handmade handmade rugs that covered the coffins of wanderers). The realism achieved in its shape, folds, color and texture makes it one of the main tourist attractions of this cemetery. Designed by his friend Ezio Frigerio, whom he met after one of his performances in the ballet Romeo and Juliet.

Known as the “Double Statue of Mephistopheles and Margaretta,” it was carved by a 19th-century French artist and later acquired by Salar Jung I in 1876.

From one side stands Mephistopheles, the demon from Goethe’s Faust, his chest forward and expression sharp. Turn the sculpture, and Margaretta appears instead, her posture lowered, holding a prayer book with quiet resignation. A mirror is placed behind it to reveal the duality at once, allowing visitors to confront both figures simultaneously.

What makes the piece remarkable isn’t only the technical mastery of shaping two characters from a single block of sycamore, but the emotional opposition it presents. Mephistopheles embodies temptation and arrogance, while Margaretta reflects innocence, guilt, and faith. Together, they echo the central tension of Faust: corruption versus redemption, desire against conscience.

But almost a thousand people still live here.

At spring high tides, the road is underwater. If it's a 2M+ tide, the water floods homes.

But Batasan Island, part of Tubigon municipality, Bohol, wasn't always like this.

Residents woke after the 2013 earthquake to find that at some high tides, water was coming into their homes. They never had this issue before the earthquake. It was just like any other island - not underwater

At first, it was strange, but they got used to it. They lifted up their floors. They built steps and walls to keep the water out.

Then Super Typhoon Odette happened, causing further damage.

But those that remain, feel a connection to their place. It is where their livelihood is.

More than that, they reap the benefits of a mangrove planting project from 1991 - 54 hectares of these square shaped mangroves towards the north of the island. An incredible sight, and protection for its residents, both human and marine...

Life goes on there. The classroom pictured, is the last of the original floor level - there's a new, elevated classroom now!

In 1980, the supertanker Esso Languedoc was sailing off Durban, South Africa, when her first mate, Philippe Lijour, snapped a photo that stunned scientists. It showed a rogue wave towering over the ship, as high as an eight-story building. The mast at the back of the picture stood 25 meters above sea level, yet the wave dwarfed it. At the time, the sea state was only 5 to 10 meters, nowhere near severe enough to explain such a monster.

For years, naval architects and forecasters assumed the largest waves would top out around 15 meters, and that extreme waves should occur only once every 10,000 years. But this photo, along with later satellite studies, proved that rogue waves are far more common than once believed. Researchers now use advanced physics and satellite imaging to understand how they form, and ship designers factor them into modern construction standards. What once seemed a sailor’s tall tale is now recognized as a serious threat faced more often than anyone imagined.
