Amazing Landscapes Made From Books By Guy Laramee

What would you do if you inherited an extended collection of old books, dictionaries and miscellaneous thick compendiums? Some of us might cherish them, others might donate them to libraries (now that’s a good place for old books) , but the same can’t be said about an artist named Laramee… he would use those books to carve amazing miniature landscapes. His latest collection, which he titled The Great Wall and Biblios is the most stunning one he has created yet. This latest series represents the degradation of human culture, through book carvings of glaciers, caves and mountains. Have a look at what is probably the most awesome use of old books.

Largest Snowmen Ever Built

Meet Olympia, she’s the biggest snowman, or shall we say, snowwoman ever built. The record was set by Jim Mann and his crew at Mt. Mann Jewelers in 2008 in Bethel, Maine.  Olympia SnowWoman was  122 feet 1 inch (37.21 m) tall, and weighted 13,000,000 lbs. of snow…now that’s a lot of snow! The previous record was, surprisingly also set in Maine, but this time,  we’re talking about a snowman built back in  February 1999. The snowman was named “Angus, King of the Mountain” (he was a mountain, if you ask me). It had 113 feet 7 inches (34.62 m) height, and weighed more than 9,000,000 pounds (4,080,000 kg). Now kids, you shouldn’t try this at home, cause a Frosty as huge as these two… well just imagine how much snow you’d need for it. Have a look at some really amazing pictures of the world’s tallest snowmen.

Ordos Museum – Strangest Building In The World

MAD Chinese architects? Well you might be tempted to say that, but guess what… they’re actually geniuses, even though they work for a a firm named “MAD”. This impressive and also extremely odd building was built in the city of Ordos, which is practically in the middle of nowhere, also known as the Gobi desert. The entire blob shaped building is covered in metal tiles which were built especially to be resistant to the frequently occurring sandstorms. This building is as crazy on the inside, as it is on the outside. The galleries are actually smaller blobs interconnected by bridges (does “Inception” ring any bells?). Only six years ago, instead of this weird building, all one could find was sand… now, the Ordos Museum has turned an under populated area, in to a major tourist attraction.
