Phonehenge – Remarkable Replica Of Stonehenge
Phonehenge is one of the fabulously done Stonehenge replicas, in the rock-and-roll themed amusement park called the Freestyle Music Park (formerly called as the Hard Rock Park) near Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. It is playfully entitled Phonehenge and surrounds a large performance space in the British Invasion section of the park. The park built on 55 acres was inaugurated in the year 2008 in April as Hard Rock Park, was closed temporarily in September 2008 and was reopened for public visit in May 2009.
A performance area that is well-equipped with lots of red old-fashioned British telephone boxes/booths which are arranged to resemble Stonehenge resembles only a semi-circle structure that includes three inner trilithons. While observing closely, there’s something about each ‘stone’ done up there, with contained spaces which could have been utilized in a more effective way.
The performances which are exclusively featured here are Fire-eater, sword-swallower, and juggler Lukas Dudek. Despite some of its visibly failings and being the less accurate replica, this structure has its own appeal to attract the visitors at the beach, as the Stonehenge replicas and their derivatives around the world, have always been the things of amuse and attraction for the historical and archeological lovers.

Cat Tries To Revive Its Friend
I'm a cat person and the video below is one of the most heart wrenching videos I've seem on the internet, well recently, the nets full of them.
This video was shot in Southern Turkey and shows a cat trying to revive another after it had been hit by a car.
Unusual jewelry | gold-plated plated brass accessories
Unusual jewelry created by Imme van der Haak out of gold plated brass.
Plastic bodies, haptic suits, artificial limbs as fashion accessories: We have arrived at the post-human juncture William Gibson and Ridley Scott predicted years ago. Need more proof? Take a peek at the body-distorting jewelry of Dutch designer Imme van der Haak.
Van der Haak's gold-plated brass accessories go everywhere jewelry's not supposed to go: up your nose, around your entire ear, in your eye socket. They make fresh-faced models look like laser beam-wielding replicants, which, we guess, is all the rage nowadays.
Last month, we brought you news of face-botching jewelry from the designer Burcu Büyükünal. We had doubts that it would catch on, except among disturbed teenagers who've read too much J. G. Ballard. Now we're not so sure. What'll it be next: Injecting our faces with botulism?

Childhood Glorifying Photos
'Missing Garden' is a 'Rebellion Against the Life of Adults'
At first glance the ‘Missing Garden’ photo series did leave a sense of child-like innocence. The chalk drawings, the somewhat carefree expressions on the models faces all added up to this ‘glorification of childhood,’ as Whitezine puts it. Photographed by Dominik Smialowski with drawings by Monika Prus, the ‘Missing Garden’ photo series playfully advocates being young at heart. Yes, we may all have more responsibilities and even troubles, but that doesn’t mean we can’t live life and have fun.
