A tiny Croatian island with more than 23 kilometres of walls looks like a fingerprint from above:

The island of Baljenac looks eerily similar to a fingerprint from overhead, Low walls throughout the island give the appearance of a fingerprint tiny ridges, Even the oval shape of Baljenac adds to the fingerprint comparison. Of the 0.14 square km (1,506,947.4583 square ft) island 23 km (75459.31759 ft) length walls weave through the area — In total Baljenac is only 1,640,419 (500m) long and is completely inhabited

Children living in Siberia getting UV light exposure during the long dark winter months.

Make-believe summer lasts for a minute or two as kindergarten children in SUN-less Lovozero bathe in ultraviolet light. Brief exposure to UC radiation provides the children with vitamin D, normally supplied by sunlight. The "sunshine vitamin" strengthens young bones.

This is the largest digging machine (or trencher or rotating shovel) in the world.

It was built by TAKRAF and is shown here crossing a road in Germany on the way to its destination, an open air coal mine. Although at the mine the treads are unnecessary, it was cheaper to make the machine self-propelled than to try and move it with conventional hauling equipment Bagger 293 is 96 metres (314.9 feet) tall (Guinness World Record for highest terrestrial vehicle, shared with Bagger 288). It is 225 metres (738.2 feet) long (same as Bagger 287), weighs 14,200 tonnes (31.3 million pounds), and requires five people to operate. It is powered by an external power source providing 16.56 megawatts. The bucket-wheel itself is over 21.3 metres (69.9 feet) in diameter with 18 buckets, each of which can hold over 15 cubic metres (529.7 cubic feet) of material. It can move 240,000 m3 or 218,880 tonnes of soil per day (the same as Bagger 288).

Why planes don't fly in a straight line on a map?

Have you ever been on a long-haul flight and wondered why your aircraft is takinga curved route instead of flying in a straight Iine when you look at the inflight map? This is particularly noticeable when flying between Europe and the U.S. when aircraft will fly over Greenland and Northern Canada rather than just simply flying from point A to B as it would visually appear on a map. The reason for this is down to simple mathematics and physics. The circumference of the Earth is lot further around the equator than it is at higher or lower latitudes towards the poles of the earth, such is the spherical shape of our planet.

Flying around the smaller circumference of the Earth is called the "Great Circle Route" and also very noticeable for flights from the U.S. to Asia that will fly far above Alaska and Siberia rather than wha would appear to be a straight line. If you think about drawing a line around a globe in the middle where it is widest, versus towards the North or South poles, the differentiation of distance begins to become apparent, and it not only saves a huge amount of time but also fuel. Because the Earth revolves on its axis, this forces the equator to "bulge out" and be wider. Despite what some theories suggest, the Earth is not flat, and so curvature becomes an incredibly importan factor in routes aircraft take. Similar to the Earth itself, aircraft, therefore, take flight routes that also appear to be a curved line, tracing the Earth's shape.

Faroe Islands

The Faroe lslands is a North Atlantic archipelago located 320 kilometres (200 mi) north-northwest of Scotland, and about halfway between Norway and lceland. It is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. The islands have a total area of about 1,400 square kilometres (540 sq mi) with a population of 51,783 as of June 2019.

In Faroe Island, it rains 300 days during the year, so the settlers introduced the grass roofs as it provided protection from the sobbing rain and thermal insulation. The load of a sod roof is approximately 250 kg per m2. In winter the total load may well increase to 400 or 500 kg per m2 because of snow. Sod is also a reasonably efficient insulator in a cold climate. The birch bark underneath ensures that the roof will be waterproof.

The term 'sod roof is somewhat misleading, as the active, water-tight element of the roof is birch bark. The main purpose of the sod is to hold the birch bark in place. The roof might just as well have been called a "birch bark roof", but its grassy outward appearance is the reason for its name in Scandinavian languages: Norwegian and Swedish torvtak, Icelandic torfpak.

Apple's touchscreen "iPhone" prototype from 1983

The first iPhone was actually dreamed up in 1983. This iPhone was a landline with full, all-white handset and a built-in screen controlled with a stylus. The phone was designed for Apple by Hartmut Esslinger, an influential designer who helped make the Apple lc computer (Apple's first "portable" computer) and later founded Frogdesign. The 1983 iPhone certainly fits in with Esslinger's other designs for Apple. It also foreshadows the touchscreens of both the iPhone and iPad.

An equatorial Sundial

A sundial is a device that tells the time of day when there is sunlight by the apparent position of the Sun in the sky. In the narrowest sense of the word, it consists of a flat plate (the dial) and a gnomon, which casts a shadow onto the dial. As the Sun appears to move across the sky, the shadow aligns with different hour lines, which are marked on the dial to indicate the time of day. The style is the time-telling edge of the gnomon, though a single point or nodus may be used.

The gnomon casts a broad shadow; the shadow of the style shows the time. The gnomon may be a rod, wire, or elaborately decorated metal casting. The style must be parallel to the axis of the Earth's rotation for the sundial to be accurate throughout the year. The style's angle from horizontal is equal to the sundial's geographical latitude. Equatorial sundials The distinguishing characteristic of the equatorial dial (also called the equinoctial dial) is the planar surface that receives the shadow, which is exactly perpendicular to the gnomon's style. This plane is called equatorial, because it is parallel to the equator of the Earth and of the celestial sphere. If the gnomon is fixed and aligned with the Earth's raotational axis, the sun's apparent rotation about the Earth casts a uniformly rotating sheet of shadow from the gnomon; this producesa uniformly rotating line of shadow on the equatorial plane. Since the sun rotates 360 in 24 hours, the hour lines on an equatorial dial are all spaced 15 apart (360/24).

Shilda, the wine tasting complex

The complex is in Kakheti, Georgia, which is the wine production region of the country. The 2.5 metre spacing of the vineyard is translated into the structural grid of the building and articulated through a series of curved beams The form is a considered response to the environmental factors of the area and the qualities of the wine. The building uses the thermal mass of the soil to moderate the internal temperature, where the wine is stored, served and tasted. The landscape is elevated in order to accommodate 3 main function thus forming 3 hills. The 3 main

functions are: Wine tasting, wine Storing and wine knowledge sharing.

This optical illusion stops people from running in the hallway

This wavy floor is actually a mind-boggling illusion that stops people from running in the hallway. The floor which is made of 400 porcelain tiles, looks like it has a giant Dent in the middle, but it's actually completely level. The optical illusion only works when you face the face the showroom entrance, the dent in the floor disappears when you look at it from the opposite perspective

A bridge to nowhere. When the tide is out, it allows beachgoers to cross a stream that cuts across the beach.

The Biel Water is a small river running through the village of Biel to the south of #Dunbar, in #Scotland. It runs for 4.5 kilometers from the Luggate Burn and the Whittinghame Water, through the village and finally to Belhaven Bay. Just before it empties into the North Sea, the river actually a small stream - flows under a short footbridge. At low tide, it's possible to walk over the bridge, crossing the stream and onto sands that lay beyond. However, when the tide comes in, the bridge gets submerged and appears to be stranded in the middle of the sea serving no obvious purpose to surprised onlookers.

Night bus in Japan

Taking the bus isn't what most people imagine when thinking of a comfortable way to travel, and for many that mode of transportation is even less likely to come to mind for overnight transit. Japan, though, has some amazing overnight buses, with assigned, reclining seats that offer you more personal space than you're likely to have in the economy section of an airplane. Among overnight bus operators, Tokyo-based Willer Express has earned a reputation for having some of the nicest carriages around, and even they've outdone themselves with their beautiful ReBorn buses.

Like many of Japan's overnight buses, the ReBorn has three non-connected seats in each row. Really, though, these are more like personal pods than just plain seats. In addition to power reclining and footrest functions, there's a table that folds out of the seat in front of you, an electrical outlet to keep your electronic devices charged up, and a drink holder mounted to the wall of your pod
