  • About the "mystery tool"

    Take a shovel with a "D" handle, cut off the blade, lean the stick against the wall.

    Place an ax on the floor with the butt of the blade against the stick.

    Shift the ax-handle to get the proper "look"

    There you have it, folks

  • The "Mystery" tool is a Vinyl Composite Tile (VCT) removing tool used to scrape the glued down tiles from a floor, usually concrete. The axe handle, that could be to hit the handle of the scraper to get it under tiles.... I usually use a dead blow hammer.

  • In Milwaukee there is this big bridge over the harbor that went nowhere for years and years (at least 15 years of my life). They finally added an extension (which was really well done). Not long after, a section of the bridge collapsed during morning rush hour.
    This year marks the completion of the final end to the highway. They are now rebuilding the exchange at the other end now.

  • nice pics........originality "at its best"

  • Just last week, here in Belgium, I read in the newspaper about a family that assumed they would be allowed to move a lamppost near their uncompleted house. They weren't allowed... Now there is one tile of the roof missing, and the lamppost is sticking out. They even build the drain around the lamppost.

  • Cool.

  • That tool is extremely versatile, we welded an axe head on about a 30 degree angle to a shovel handle and voila "the foot" is born, peels asphalt shingle down easily, can even pull up the plywood and shingle if you cut it in sections. The uses are endless, I like the idea of using it for tearing up tiles.

  • Driving home from the horse center one day, my mother and I caught a glimpse of the inside of a house in progress. There was a blank wall with steps leading up to it. Worst part is, it was one of the outer walls.

  • The twisted pretzel-stairs is an actual sculpture located here. It’s named “Revolutions” and is a tribute to the famous Montréal external stairs.

  • the one with the balcony and the railway is taken from the website of the german photographer frank kunert:
    http://www.frank-kunert.de/
    his art is to build such absurd scenarios and take pictures that look real-life, quite.hn

  • thanks nice..

  • Well thats quite funny.Lack pf planning causes such mistakes.

  • That bridge one must be fake.Otherwise the construction company is in trouble.

  • The photo with the 40+ degree slope to the garage to the street kills me! You'd need a Jeep lifted up on 44s to have anything remotely approaching the angles to get in & out... Yikes.

  • My friend Michael took this great pic last week in Phoenix, Arizona of a dust storm coming in.

  • The photos of African dust storms and dust being blown out into the Atlantic and over Spain are quite normal, where I live in Ireland, I sometimes go out to my car in the morning and find a film of very fine red Saharan sand covering it.

    (For those of you who don't know, Ireland is several thousand miles from the Sahara desert)

  • Nice Blog.
    But there a small mistake here :
    Khartoum is the capital of Sudan! so it is not in Egypt for sure :)

  • Thank you Chris,
    I added your picture.

  • Nice pics....The series of Astana are fog, not dust. The tint right around sunrise is most likely due to particulates (dust or smoke) but the low cloud is fog, which can be seen moving and dissipating in the third photo.

  • the jet in front of the house is probably not parking ..

    it is a swedish Gripen - and those jets are designed to operate from simple streets in the woods and elsewere ... that way no evil enemy can bomb the airbases - or at least he will not gain much from it ..

  • The car full of plastic crates is a bad PS work... I'm not sure about the cart with brooms and buckets.
    Read more

  • You can find out more about the red car with the building supplies at the Urban Legends site (it's listed as "true", incidentally.)
    http://www.snopes.com/photos/automobiles/lumber.asp
    Read more

  • The plastic crate shot is not 'shopped. Some may look squashed but its because they're either deformed by the position/weight or just short in height. I doubt most any of these are photoshopped, this kind of thing is common all over the world.

  • I don't think those dried mushrooms will be used for soup :)
    (or it would be rather psychedelic soup)

  • The bumper car is not lost, i saw this guy on dutch television a few weeks ago. He made it himself, and it's actually street legal, although it has a maximum speed of 45 km/h.
    Read more

  • the "box-car" seems to be shopped. at least the shadow of the car on the right side of it doesnt show any crates.
    the fact that the shadow only shows the part infront of the trunk does keep the possibility that all the baskets are actually in and above the trunk without support of any other parts of the car.
    but its still a good photomontage. =)

  • The red Volkswagen? with a roof and a porch in the back is actually a sauna owned by a student group at Helsinki University of Technology.
