In the heart of Siberia’s icy expanse lies a mystifying marvel named Baikal Zen. Here, on the glassy surface of Lake Baikal, stones defy gravity, balancing on slender pillars of ice, reminiscent of the serene stone stacks in Japanese gardens.
These rocks, seemingly suspended in mid-air above the water, don’t just land in such harmonious balance. Their equilibrium is the result of a poetic dance between the biting Siberian cold and the lake’s sculpting winds. The stones first meld with the ice, a task easily achieved in Siberia’s bone-chilling embrace. Then, like an artist chipping away at marble, the gusts carve the ice into delicate pedestals, ensuring the rocks achieve their poised stance.
Photographers from around the globe have captured Baikal Zen’s ephemeral beauty. To witness this enchanting ballet of nature for yourself, dive into the treasure trove of images available online.

Incredible illusion: (Telegram: Contact @Pravda_Gerashchenko) a new level of body art
Johannes Stotter - painter, musician, one of the most famous contemporary body art artists - presented his new work “Butterfly”.
This artist, who lives in the Italian Alps, is called “the master of illusions”. He is a real star of social networks, thanks to his images of wildlife, embodied with the help of the human body.
The rest of his images are equally amazing. Stotter’s projects, who creates illusionary masterpieces depicting the beauty of life forms real and vulnerable, have been honoured with many international prizes.
I’ve watched a few of his videos on YouTube, and also some videos by others doing similiar things. Yes, these people are unbelievable. That would be food for days for me

I wonder what formula our okd phisics teacher would have for this? Probably it has something to do with energy and gravity…and a couple of other things 
That was a great lesson in physics!
I love ingenious stuff like this. The door on that very first cabinet was amazing and the game table where the game pieces just appeared out of the table like magic was very cool. Loved the sofa that converted to a double-decker bed. Lots of amazing things.
That’s amazing!!!
