  • The Childrens Railway <br />
<br />
In the outskirts of Budapest, through the scenic Buda hills, run a short, narrow-gauge railway line called Gyermekvasút, which is Hungarian for “Children's Railway”. But Gyermekvasút is not a toy train commonly found in amusement parks. It’s a real railway line with real stations, real diesel locomotives pulling real coaches, and running on a real schedule. The “Children” here are not the passengers. They are the railway workers.<br />
<br />
The Children's Railway is staffed and run mostly by pre-adolescent kids aged between 10 to 14, under adult supervision, of course. Only the driving and maintenance stuff are done by adults. All other jobs, from checking and issuing tickets, operating signals, making announcements and giving information to passengers, are performed by young people dressed in immaculate official uniforms complete with all the appropriate paraphernalia.<br />
The Children's Railway is a relic of the communist era, built at a time when the Young Pioneers movement was in full force. The Young Pioneers was a youth movement of the Communist Party, similar to the Scouts movement of the Western world, where young people learned skills of social cooperation and attended publicly funded summer camps. The early Young Pioneers were originally Scouts who took the Bolsheviks' side after the October Revolution of 1917. Many Scouts, however, resisted the communists and fought in the ranks of the White Army and interventionists against the Red Army during the Russian Civil War of 1917-1921. After communism got a firm hold over the country, the Scouting system was eradicated and replaced by the ideologically different Young Pioneer organization to properly educate children with Communist teachings.<br />
The Children's Railway, sometimes also called the Pioneer Railway, was a project of the Young Pioneers where teenagers and children learned the railway profession. They were established all across the Russian Union and Eastern Europe where communism h

  • Unusual Friendship Between Wolf And Bear <br />
<br />
an amazing event occurred involving a male bear cub and a female wolf cub. The shy bear cub tended to avoid the other bears and to feed alone. If larger individuals appeared, the young cub would quietly depart.<br />
This scenario continued for several nights. Then a light coloured female wolf cub joined the young bear. She, too, kept herself to herself, avoiding conflict. I called them Romeo and Juliet. Romeo’s behaviour emboldened Juliet. Romeo sat at a funny attitude at the dinner table and appeared inquisitive but friendly when Juliet guardedly crept up to the same table. From her attitude it was obvious that Juliet was prepared to flee immediately if Romeo disliked her. Tail between her legs and her entire body tensed, the wolf cub finally summoned up the courage to eat off the same plate as the little bear.<br />
In the realm of the bears I had never before seen an individual which did not in one way or another behave threateningly towards a wolf, if not by actually charging, at least by emitting that characteristic smacking together of the jaws  or a low-pitched warning growl.<br />
Had the two been members of the same species one would have surmised that  deeper feelings were at work. But a wolf and a bear - huh! In fact, their friendship actually grew night by night. Romeo would appear first. Not long afterwards Juliet’s pale form could be discerned in the forest. As soon as it became evident that no other bears or wolves were feasting, she would join her friend. At its best the distance between the two heads as the animals sank their teeth into the food was a mere 30-40 cm.<br />
This unusual love affair lasted for well over a week before the animals went their separate ways. Later, I saw Romeo several times but he was always alone. Juliet, on the other hand, could be seen hanging out with her relatives. It is highly characteristic of wolf behaviour for the pack to disperse, only to gather again in a variety of compositions – eve

Romeo would appear first. Not long afterwards Juliet’s pale form could be discerned in the forest. As soon as it became evident that no other bears or wolves were feasting, she would join her friend. At its best the distance between the two heads as the animals sank their teeth into the food was a mere 30-40 cm.<br />
This unusual love affair lasted for well over a week before the animals went their separate ways. Later, I saw Romeo several times but he was always alone. Juliet, on the other hand, could be seen hanging out with her relatives. It is highly characteristic of wolf behaviour for the pack to disperse, only to gather again in a variety of compositions – eve

  • Unusual Friendship Between Wolf And Bear <br />
<br />
an amazing event occurred involving a male bear cub and a female wolf cub. The shy bear cub tended to avoid the other bears and to feed alone. If larger individuals appeared, the young cub would quietly depart.<br />
This scenario continued for several nights. Then a light coloured female wolf cub joined the young bear. She, too, kept herself to herself, avoiding conflict. I called them Romeo and Juliet. Romeo’s behaviour emboldened Juliet. Romeo sat at a funny attitude at the dinner table and appeared inquisitive but friendly when Juliet guardedly crept up to the same table. From her attitude it was obvious that Juliet was prepared to flee immediately if Romeo disliked her. Tail between her legs and her entire body tensed, the wolf cub finally summoned up the courage to eat off the same plate as the little bear.<br />

  • Incredible Turquoise Ice Gleams Like Gemstones On Lake Baikal<br />
<br />
Landscape photographer Alexey Trofimov, who lives in Siberia, took these incredible pictures of the unusual phenomenon. Trofimov describes Lake Baikal itself as “the pearl of our planet.” Perhaps, then, the extraordinary blue-colored ice formations are its accompanying sapphires.<br />
Lake Baikal is indeed remarkable, even without these striking icy marvels. Located in southeastern Siberia, the over 7.78 million-acre expanse of water is notable for being Earth’s most ancient lake, dating back as it does some 25 million years. The bottom of this gigantic basin, meanwhile, lies 3,892 feet below sea level. However, the distance from the water’s surface to its nethermost-recorded point measures an amazing 5,387 feet. Baikal is, in short, the deepest lake on the planet.<br />
<br />
Moreover, the lake’s surroundings are exceptionally varied. Near to the huge body of water “there are,” as Trofimov tells us, “high mountain ranges, impassable taiga, sandy beaches [and] wild steppes.” The weather is also fickle, with Baikal often bathed in sunshine but adjacent landforms or even other parts of the lake prone to experiencing very different conditions such as storms. Trofimov suggests that this contributes to the place being “harsh and dangerous as [well as] beautiful.”<br />
<br />
Given the intriguing array of environmental spectacles in, over and around the lake, it seems a fitting place to find a captivating wonder like the turquoise ice formations pictured here. The brightly hued ice reveals itself around March each year, and many people make their way to the area in order to witness its beauty at this time.<br />
<br />
These unique frozen formations are in fact called ice hummocks. The knolls are created in part by pressure that develops gradually and unevenly in the layer of ice that covers Lake Baikal in winter. The physical make-up and temperature of the ice sheet then also become imbalanced, and hence the hummocks form an

Landscape photographer Alexey Trofimov, who lives in Siberia, took these incredible pictures of the unusual phenomenon. Trofimov describes Lake Baikal itself as “the pearl of our planet.” Perhaps, then, the extraordinary blue-colored ice formations are its accompanying sapphires.<br />
Lake Baikal is indeed remarkable, even without these striking icy marvels. Located in southeastern Siberia, the over 7.78 million-acre expanse of water is notable for being Earth’s most ancient lake, dating back as it does some 25 million years. The bottom of this gigantic basin, meanwhile, lies 3,892 feet below sea level. However, the distance from the water’s surface to its nethermost-recorded point measures an amazing 5,387 feet. Baikal is, in short, the deepest lake on the planet.<br />
<br />
Moreover, the lake’s surroundings are exceptionally varied. Near to the huge body of water “there are,” as Trofimov tells us, “high mountain ranges, impassable taiga, sandy beaches [and] wild steppes.” The weather is also fickle, with Baikal often bathed in sunshine but adjacent landforms or even other parts of the lake prone to experiencing very different conditions such as storms. Trofimov suggests that this contributes to the place being “harsh and dangerous as [well as] beautiful.”<br />
<br />
Given the intriguing array of environmental spectacles in, over and around the lake, it seems a fitting place to find a captivating wonder like the turquoise ice formations pictured here. The brightly hued ice reveals itself around March each year, and many people make their way to the area in order to witness its beauty at this time.<br />
<br />
These unique frozen formations are in fact called ice hummocks. The knolls are created in part by pressure that develops gradually and unevenly in the layer of ice that covers Lake Baikal in winter. The physical make-up and temperature of the ice sheet then also become imbalanced, and hence the hummocks form an

  • Yacht for the Russian Billionaire <br />
Equipped with three splendid pools and numerous wonderful trifles – this very expensive yacht belonging to a Russian oligarch, Andrey Melnichenko, is so awesome that Caligula himself would die of envy! Though it is named in a rather modest way, “A”.<br />
<br />
The vehicle that sooner resembles a submarine than a posh liner cost 300 million dollars! This is how much Melnichenko paid for the sailing paradise, whose handles alone are estimated at 40 000 dollars. This would be enough to study for a couple of years at Harvard with the world’s best teachers…<br />
<br />
Andrey Melnichenko is a billionaire who gathered his wealth by himself – initially by creating a currency exchange network, later – by having bank, coal and fertilizer businesses.<br />
<br />
His name was repeatedly mentioned in Forbes. In 2005, he married a Serbian model and pop-singer, Alexandra. The wedding was celebrated in the south of France.<br />
<br />
Buying such a boat didn’t leave a hole in the savings of Melnichenko because his savings amount to 11,5 billion dollars. Such capital would allow us to think that a touchscreen navigator, bullet-proof glass and a rotating bed are not luxuries at all.<br />
<br />
The designer made a really luxurious interior. For example, one room has stingray skin covered walls, another one – walls covered by hand stitched calf leather.<br />
<br />
The length of the yacht is 120 meters (could be compared with a football field and a basketball field located end to end). Handrails alone cost 60 thousand dollars. By the way, Melnichenko can have a helicopter on the yacht if he wants.<br />

Imagine waking up and rolling out of bed to be greeted by a brilliant mountain sunrise, with a gurgling frigid stream below you and blue skies above you. Russian photographer Oleg Grigoryev takes us into the mountains in his “Morning Views From The Tent” series, in which he frames beautiful mountain photos with his outstretched legs and his tent flap.<br />
<br />
Grigoryev took these photos in the Fann Mountains of Tajikistan from campsites that were up to 4,700m above sea level, and the range has mountains that extend up to 5.5km above sea level. Given their height, it’s not surprising that we see Grogoryev’s legs resting in each photo!<br />

Mel's Belles! Four women join the queue to be the next Mrs Gibson<br />
<br />
Even by the cultish standards of some of California's wackier religious sects, the Holy Family Catholic Church is something of an oddity. Perched high above the Pacific and just a few miles from the glitzy confines of Malibu, it is reached by a narrow, winding road that stops at a security lodge manned 24 hours a day.  Access beyond these gates to the Spanish-style mission church a quarter of a mile up the private drive is for a select few only. Even those who clear the rigorous security checks will be monitored by the CCTV cameras hidden in the poplar and olive trees that stand sentry over the church's formal Tuscan-style gardens. It is here for the past two years that Mel Gibson has regularly attended the 9am Mass conducted in Latin at which female members of the congregation are expected to wear long dowdy skirts, prim blouses and flat shoes, and to cover their hair with lace veils.  Suspect two is a different Russian pop singer  -  Oksana Pochepa, 24, whose nickname is 'Shark' and who said she was the unidentified female photographed with the star during his Boston shoot of new movie Edge Of Darkness. She said she was also with him on holiday in Costa Rica.

Energy was a Soviet rocket that was designed by NPO Energia to serve as a heavy-lift expendable launch system as well as a booster for the Buran spacecraft. <br />
<br />
It flew for the first time in 1987, and in 1988 brought to Earth orbit the reusable space shuttle Buran. On its basis, the Energia-M rocket was designed.<br />
<br />
The rocket had the capacity to place about 100 tonnes in Low Earth orbit, up to 20 tonnes to geostationary orbit and up to 32 tonnes to a translunar trajectory.<br />
<br />
The Energia was designed to launch the Russian "Buran" reusable shuttle,and for that reason was designed to carry its payload mounted on the side of the stack, rather than on the top, as is done with other launch vehicles. After design of the Energia-Buran system, it was also proposed that the booster could be used without the Buran as a heavy-lift cargo launch vehicle; this configuration was originally given the name "Buran-T". This configuration required the addition of an upper stage to perform the final orbital insertion.[6] The first launch of the Energia was in the configuration of a heavy launch vehicle, with the large Polyus military satellite as a payload, however Polyus failed to correctly perform the orbital insertion.<br />
<br />
On December 25, 1991, the mock-up  was placed on the launch pad, and two days later the layout was returned back to the Dynamic Test Building.  The doors was closed, and work on the development of the rocket was stopped.  The main reason is the collapse of the USSR and the difficult economic situation.<br />

  • The Childrens Railway <br />
<br />
In the outskirts of Budapest, through the scenic Buda hills, run a short, narrow-gauge railway line called Gyermekvasút, which is Hungarian for “Children's Railway”. But Gyermekvasút is not a toy train commonly found in amusement parks. It’s a real railway line with real stations, real diesel locomotives pulling real coaches, and running on a real schedule. The “Children” here are not the passengers. They are the railway workers.<br />
<br />
The Children's Railway is staffed and run mostly by pre-adolescent kids aged between 10 to 14, under adult supervision, of course. Only the driving and maintenance stuff are done by adults. All other jobs, from checking and issuing tickets, operating signals, making announcements and giving information to passengers, are performed by young people dressed in immaculate official uniforms complete with all the appropriate paraphernalia.<br />
The Children's Railway is a relic of the communist era, built at a time when the Young Pioneers movement was in full force. The Young Pioneers was a youth movement of the Communist Party, similar to the Scouts movement of the Western world, where young people learned skills of social cooperation and attended publicly funded summer camps. The early Young Pioneers were originally Scouts who took the Bolsheviks' side after the October Revolution of 1917. Many Scouts, however, resisted the communists and fought in the ranks of the White Army and interventionists against the Red Army during the Russian Civil War of 1917-1921. After communism got a firm hold over the country, the Scouting system was eradicated and replaced by the ideologically different Young Pioneer organization to properly educate children with Communist teachings.<br />
The Children's Railway, sometimes also called the Pioneer Railway, was a project of the Young Pioneers where teenagers and children learned the railway profession. They were established all across the Russian Union and Eastern Europe where communism h

  • Unusual Friendship Between Wolf And Bear <br />
<br />
an amazing event occurred involving a male bear cub and a female wolf cub. The shy bear cub tended to avoid the other bears and to feed alone. If larger individuals appeared, the young cub would quietly depart.<br />
This scenario continued for several nights. Then a light coloured female wolf cub joined the young bear. She, too, kept herself to herself, avoiding conflict. I called them Romeo and Juliet. Romeo’s behaviour emboldened Juliet. Romeo sat at a funny attitude at the dinner table and appeared inquisitive but friendly when Juliet guardedly crept up to the same table. From her attitude it was obvious that Juliet was prepared to flee immediately if Romeo disliked her. Tail between her legs and her entire body tensed, the wolf cub finally summoned up the courage to eat off the same plate as the little bear.<br />
In the realm of the bears I had never before seen an individual which did not in one way or another behave threateningly towards a wolf, if not by actually charging, at least by emitting that characteristic smacking together of the jaws  or a low-pitched warning growl.<br />
Had the two been members of the same species one would have surmised that  deeper feelings were at work. But a wolf and a bear - huh! In fact, their friendship actually grew night by night. Romeo would appear first. Not long afterwards Juliet’s pale form could be discerned in the forest. As soon as it became evident that no other bears or wolves were feasting, she would join her friend. At its best the distance between the two heads as the animals sank their teeth into the food was a mere 30-40 cm.<br />
This unusual love affair lasted for well over a week before the animals went their separate ways. Later, I saw Romeo several times but he was always alone. Juliet, on the other hand, could be seen hanging out with her relatives. It is highly characteristic of wolf behaviour for the pack to disperse, only to gather again in a variety of compositions – eve

Sochi at Night<br />
<br />
Three months after bearing the Olympic torch outside their orbiting home, the astronauts and cosmonauts on the International Space Station (ISS) got to look down on that flame from above. On the evening of February 10, 2014, an Expedition 38 crew member on the ISS captured this digital photograph of Sochi, Russia, along the coast of the Black Sea.<br />
In the image, the Olympic flame now burns in the circular Medals Plaza, ringed in gold and bright white lighting in the center of the Olympic Park. The oval-shaped Fisht Olympic Stadium is lit in blue and stands near the shore to the south. (Note that south is to the right in the image.) The Adler Arena Skating Center and the Iceberg Skating Palace both appear as black rectangles north and east of the Medals Plaza, and the Bolshoy Ice Dome has a pink tint and stands to the west.<br />
Sochi is a city of nearly 340,000 people in Krasnodar Krai, Russia, near the border between Georgia and Russia. Warmed by the Black Sea and straddling the continents of Europe and Asia, the resort city has a subtropical climate that draws many tourists. It is one of the warmer locations ever chosen for the Winter Games. However, snow coats the slopes of the Caucasus Mountains just 40 kilometers (25 miles) inland.<br />

  • Hanging out on the roof of the world: Stomach-churning pictures of Russia's death-defying 'skywalkers'  <br />
<br />
These photos are not for the faint-hearted or those with a fear of heights. They capture a man enjoying ‘rooftopping’, a hobby which has him living life literally on the edge.<br />
This striking series of photos show ‘rooftopper’ Kirill Oreshkin and his daredevil friends at the top of buildings, cranes, and construction sites – standing or even dangling from the top.<br />
The trend of rooftopping, or skywalking, has been documented in the last few years, and seems to be quite popular in Russia and Ukraine. It sees daredevils climb to the top of structures to take a unique, vertigo-inducing selfie.<br />
<br />
The young Moscow-based photographer completes his daredevil feats without a harness or safety net, but with a friend, who takes his picture.<br />
Despite the danger of his hobby, Oreshkin appears perfectly calm in the photos, even in the ones that show him hanging from structures by one hand.<br />
<br />
The feats of these daredevils are quite alarming. In one video posted on his personal website, Oreshkin’s friend Mustang Wanted does chin-ups a few hundred metres above the ground in Kiev.<br />
<br />
Despite all appearances, the rooftoppers say they take what they do seriously. Mustang Wanted writes on his website:<br />
‘[T]he following videos and photos feature stunts performed by professionals. I really insist that no one attempt to recreate or re-enact any stunt or activity performed on this site. Even if you’re totally sure that you can do that, you are putting yourself in danger. So, please, don’t try to recreate my stunts. I mean it!’ <br />

  • VIRAL picture of man who had to share air con with room next door in hotel.<br />
<br />
Some cheap hotels require you to share a bathroom with other guests, but this is the first time a place that wants you to share your air-con with the room next door.<br />
<br />
Photos of two guestrooms that share an air conditioner went viral over the weekend, amusing netizens and sparking questions such as: “Well, who gets the remote?”<br />
<br />
The photos, posted by user Titi Japantour, were taken at an unnamed resort in Nakhon Nayok province.<br />
<br />
<br />
“While my friends get to travel to Europe, Russia and England, I’m here!  I can’t be the only who witnessed this. Looks like no one is getting laid tonight,” Titi wrote.<br />
<br />
Well, the hole in the wall where the air-con is installed does take away your privacy.<br />
<br />
The user said that he rented a house at the resort but was surprised the two bedrooms shared an air conditioner.<br />
<br />
Titi said the air-con actually worked well for the two rooms and that he did not want to defame the resort but only wanted to share the photos for fun.<br />

WWII Mine Furniture<br />
One mans wartime lethal weapon of mass destruction is another mans explosive new line of furniture. Proving you cant sink a great idea, a famous modern artist is turning old WWII marine mines in to stunning steampunk style items for posh lounges. Like the fireplace complete with several of the sinister looking spikes intact on the Russian made munitions. It was contact with these protrusions that took down submarines during WWII. Touch a spike, and it was likely to be curtains for the vessel and all those on board. But now Mati Karmin, one of the best-known sculptors of Estonia, has launched Marine Mine Furniture. For 25 years, the 51-year-old has been one of the personalities in the Estonian sculpture. His career as an artist is characterised by an intense and remarkably versatile activity. \nHe explained where he finds the mines he uses in his furniture.\nMati said: The Naissaar Island is situated in the Gulf of Finland, 15 kilometres away from Tallinn. As a military object, Naissaar has always interested the rulers of Estonia, which is the reason why the inhabitants have often been forced to leave the island. The area of Naissaar is 18.6 km2. Naissaar used to be a favourite spot for pirates and smugglers during the earlier times. The first military object - a cannon battery - was erected on Naissaar by the Swedish rulers during the Great Northern War in 1705. After the end of the Great Northern War, when Estonia was included in the Russian Empire, Russia continued militarising the Naissaar Island: a defensive building with five bastions was erected in 1720. Russia started modernising the military objects of the Gulf of Finland at the beginning of the 20th century. The Naissaar and Mäkiluoto cannon batteries and a minefield connecting them were designed to be the priority in this system. The project was not completed due to the outbreak of WW I. When retreating from the Germans in 1918, the Russians blew up m

Trudging through snow drifts and blizzards, across the deep tundra of the northern Russian region of Chukotka, Leahovcenco traveled to meet a small nomadic tribe of reindeer herders - disconnected from the modern world where the way of life has barely changed for thousands of years.
Bringing along a digital printer to the region where it the record high is barely above 90f, Leahovcenco photographed the men, women and children of the hardy native people there - and then to their delight showed them pictures of themselves for the first time in their lives.<br />

  • VIRAL picture of man who had to share air con with room next door in hotel.<br />
<br />
Some cheap hotels require you to share a bathroom with other guests, but this is the first time a place that wants you to share your air-con with the room next door.<br />
<br />
Photos of two guestrooms that share an air conditioner went viral over the weekend, amusing netizens and sparking questions such as: “Well, who gets the remote?”<br />
<br />
The photos, posted by user Titi Japantour, were taken at an unnamed resort in Nakhon Nayok province.<br />
<br />
<br />
“While my friends get to travel to Europe, Russia and England, I’m here!  I can’t be the only who witnessed this. Looks like no one is getting laid tonight,” Titi wrote.<br />
<br />
Well, the hole in the wall where the air-con is installed does take away your privacy.<br />
<br />
The user said that he rented a house at the resort but was surprised the two bedrooms shared an air conditioner.<br />
<br />
Titi said the air-con actually worked well for the two rooms and that he did not want to defame the resort but only wanted to share the photos for fun.<br />

WWII Mine Furniture<br />
One mans wartime lethal weapon of mass destruction is another mans explosive new line of furniture. Proving you cant sink a great idea, a famous modern artist is turning old WWII marine mines in to stunning steampunk style items for posh lounges. Like the fireplace complete with several of the sinister looking spikes intact on the Russian made munitions. It was contact with these protrusions that took down submarines during WWII. Touch a spike, and it was likely to be curtains for the vessel and all those on board. But now Mati Karmin, one of the best-known sculptors of Estonia, has launched Marine Mine Furniture. For 25 years, the 51-year-old has been one of the personalities in the Estonian sculpture. His career as an artist is characterised by an intense and remarkably versatile activity. \nHe explained where he finds the mines he uses in his furniture.\nMati said: The Naissaar Island is situated in the Gulf of Finland, 15 kilometres away from Tallinn. As a military object, Naissaar has always interested the rulers of Estonia, which is the reason why the inhabitants have often been forced to leave the island. The area of Naissaar is 18.6 km2. Naissaar used to be a favourite spot for pirates and smugglers during the earlier times. The first military object - a cannon battery - was erected on Naissaar by the Swedish rulers during the Great Northern War in 1705. After the end of the Great Northern War, when Estonia was included in the Russian Empire, Russia continued militarising the Naissaar Island: a defensive building with five bastions was erected in 1720. Russia started modernising the military objects of the Gulf of Finland at the beginning of the 20th century. The Naissaar and Mäkiluoto cannon batteries and a minefield connecting them were designed to be the priority in this system. The project was not completed due to the outbreak of WW I.

Trudging through snow drifts and blizzards, across the deep tundra of the northern Russian region of Chukotka, Leahovcenco traveled to meet a small nomadic tribe of reindeer herders - disconnected from the modern world where the way of life has barely changed for thousands of years.
Bringing along a digital printer to the region where it the record high is barely above 90f, Leahovcenco photographed the men, women and children of the hardy native people there - and then to their delight showed them pictures of themselves for the first time in their lives.<br />
