Adele Enersen “Mila’s Daydreams”

It’s hard to take a good snapshot of an infant.  They can barely hold their heads up and have a continual tendency to nod off, which inevitably squishes up their faces and spoils the picture.  If you want a good picture of a baby, you usually have to wait a while.  Like say, six months…
Which makes Adele Enersen’s photos all the more remarkable.  During her maternity leave in Helsinki, Adele created a project called “Mila’s Daydreams” which deftly and imaginatively addressed her newborn daughter’s limited range of expression.  These are some of her delightfully-inspired photographic images from that project, and you can find many more at her blogspot page.
Do babies dream?  Can they imagine colors and textures and whole new worlds when this one is still so new and unknown?  The real answer is probably dry and uninteresting; I far prefer Adele’s where paperplates become space helmets and blankets can be anything from elephants to skylines to surfing waves.

Marina Bay Sands -Fantastic hotel in the sky

Marina Bay Sands is the world’s most expensive hotel, it’s boat-shaped ‘SkyPark’ perched atop the three 55 storey towers. This three towers are connected with a one hectare roof sky park offering 360-degree views of Singapore’s skyline and featuring beautifully sculptured gardens, restaurants and a swimming pool.

The SkyPark will be home to the world’s longest elevated swimming pool, with a 475-foot vanishing edge, perched 200 meters above the ground. While the water in the infinity pool seems to end in a sheer drop, it actually spills into a catchment area where it is pumped back into the main pool. At three times the length of an Olympic pool and 650ft up, it is the largest outdoor pool in the world at that height.

Snow and Ice Sculpture Festival in Bruges

In the Belgian city of Bruges, a festival of ice sculpture named "Ice Age" is traditionally held each year and is sculpted from no less than 300,000 kilograms of crystal-clear ice and 400 tons of pure snow. This treasure-trove of icy masterpieces is preserved in a special 1,200 m² thermal tent, where the temperature is kept at a constant -5° C. The first refrigerated lorries will arrive at the beginning of November, to deposit their 2 ton ice blocks on the Station-square. A fleet of bulldozers and cranes will move these blocks into the cold hall, where they will be stacked in preparation for the sculpting of the metres-high snow & ice decors.

In addition to the ice, a staggering 400 tons of snow will also be transformed into gigantic works of frosty art. The powder-fine snow will be made inside the tent and blown into specially constructed moulds. This allows for the creation of massive snow blocks, from which the figures and shapes can then be cut. The combination of architectural lighting and sparkling ice creates a magical and fairylike showpiece, which is guaranteed to make you shiver: not only with the cold, but also from wonder and admiration.
