Strange Landscapes

Alien Landscapes on Earth

There are many features on our grand planet which due to numerous geological and environmental factors literally appear as if they are from another world. The WebEcoist has put together this list of bizarre landscapes and information about them. Read the full article here.
Click each image to open a larger version.

Giant’s Causeway, Ireland

Visitors have been puzzling over the bizarre hexagonal basalt columns at Giant’s Causeway along the Causeway Coast of Ireland since the area was first documented in 1693. The columns, which resemble ancient paving blocks, were originally part of a volcanic platueau 50 to 60 million years ago.

Dry Valleys, Antarctica

It seems strange enough that there are areas of Antarctica that get almost no snowfall – but the landscape itself of these ‘Dry Valleys’, located within Victoria Land west of McMurdo Sound, is like some kind of twisted, desolate film set. Vast stretches of sand, seal skeletons, rocks eerily sculpted by wind and steaming ice fumaroles (volcanic gas vents) make this place seem like it can’t possibly be real.

Unusual Caves - Cave of Crystals in Mexico

Cave of Crystals, Mexico

It looks like a microscopic image of crystals – until you see the tiny little man standing amongst them. Mexico’s Cueva de los Cristales (Cave of Crystals) is home to some of the world’s largest known natural crystals, measuring as much as 36 feet long. Geologist Juan Manuel García-Ruiz said the crystals have thrived for millenia in the very unusual environment of the cave, where the temperature stays around 136 degrees Fahrenheit (58 deg C) year-round.

Stone Forest, China

“If you have visited the Yunnan province of China without seeing the Stone Forest, you’ve wasted your time”. That old local saying hints at the grandeur of this attraction, a 400-square-kilometer stone wonderland where tall rock formations tower overhead like trees. The Stone Forest was formed over millennia as the sea, which once covered the area, gradually retreated, slowly eroding the bedrock.

Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia

Driving across the world’s largest salt flats – Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia – can feel as if you’re about to disappear into nothingness. The way the sunlight reflects off the vast expanse of salt makes the sky seem to blend into the landscape. Alien-like piles of salt piled into cone shapes by workers, waiting to be collected and processed, enhance the feeling that you’re in a very unique place. Salar de Uyuni contains about 10 billion tons of salt, with only about 25,000 tons extracted every year.

Louis Vuitton Branding With A Difference

November 4th 2009 01:35

Founded in 1854, Louis Vuitton is has become one of the most recognisable brands with its iconic LV monogram and logo known the world over as a symbol of prestige and wealth.
The logo was introduced early last century to prevent counterfeiting of the company's products. Ironically it's now the most counterfeited brand in fashion history.
Fake Louis Vuitton handbags and other fashion items are commonplace, however as these pictures show the famous LV logo has been used to brand just about anything!

Creepy Landscapes

October 21st 2009 12:53

Most landscape images on this blog are there for their beauty, elegance, colour and natural wonder. However there are some areas of our planet that look like the apocalypse, today we pay homage to some such wonders of nature. Images and information sourced from Environmental Graffiti here.

Gateway to Hell

The jets of hot steam and sulphurous gases known as fumaroles plus its sterile, acidic ground give Iceland’s Námaskarð pass the look of an opening into the devil’s own domain.

Bisti Badlands

These strange, egg-like mounds look as if they form part of some alien landscape. In fact, though, this colourful expanse of unusually eroded rocks is the Bisti Badlands, located in New Mexico.

Laguna Colorada

Unexpected Fast Food

August 7th 2009 12:50

Sometimes take away burgers, fries and even ice creams come with more than what you asked for. When this happens, the consequences can be severe for all parties. Thanks to TruTV.com, here are some cases of fast food gone wrong.

Special sauce, and a little something extra

Two New Mexico police officers didn't exactly have it their way after two Burger King employees allegedly served up their Whoppers with an extra ingredient a sprinkling of marijuana. Mark Landavazo and Henry Gabaldon said they ate half the burgers on Oct. 8, 2006, before discovering the substance, which they confirmed with a field test kit. They later sued Burger King Corp. over the incident.

Frozen Finger

In May 2005, Clarence Stowers of Wilmington, N.C., inadvertently bit into a human fingertip in his pint of Kohl's frozen chocolate custard. Stowers said he put the fingertip in his mouth because "I thought it was candy because they put candy in your ice cream ... to make it a treat." Officials later said the fingertip was from a Kohl's employee, who had been injured in a food-processing machine accident. Stowers says he's planning to file a suit, and is keeping the finger in his freezer in the meantime.

Special Value Meal

Jacqueline Rowland and Jon McQuater, employees at a Burger King in Oxford Township, Mich., were charged with food tampering after McQuater allegedly spit into a police officer's chicken sandwich. On June 4, 2004, Deputy Steve Clark pulled into the Burger King drive-thru and ordered a "special value meal consisting of a chicken sandwich, no lettuce." When the sandwich was served, he realized it had been repackaged and quickly discovered the tampering. Clark later determined that McQuater had spit inside the sandwich as "a joke," and Rowland then served it. If convicted, they face four years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Print Analysis

David Scheiding knew something wasn't right with his Arby's chicken sandwich when he discovered what appeared to be a piece of human flesh. "It looked like I was seeing fingerprints on it," he said. "I got sick and went to the bathroom." Health investigators spoke to the restaurant manager, who said he'd sliced skin from his thumb while shredding lettuce. On April 1, 2005, Scheiding filed a $50,000 lawsuit against GZK Inc., which owns the Arby's where the sandwich was purchased.

Finger Food

Anna Ayala claimed she bit into a human fingertip in a bowl of chili she purchased at a Wendy's in San Jose, Calif., in March 2005. During the investigation, health officials checked to ensure that the digits of all Wendy's employees were present and accounted for. Ayala and her husband later admitted planting the finger; Ayala was sentenced to nine years in prison, and her husband was sentenced to 12 years.

Following Spike's lead, here are some more headstones with a difference from everyday people and celebrities alike. These pictures sourced from trendhunter.com.

Fast Food: Calories per Dollar

June 10th 2009 08:43

Last year New York took on an interesting initiative forcing fast food restaurants and mobile food vendors to display the calorie content of items on their menu. This idea may one day spread to other states and countries.

Let's take a look at the disclosed calorie content of some popular fast foods. For added interest, the calories per dollar value has been added in

Turducken

April 17th 2009 12:33

Do you all know what a turducken is? Basically it's a partially de-boned turkey stuffed with a de-boned duck, which itself is stuffed with a small de-boned chicken. The cavity of the chicken and the rest of the gaps are stuffed, sometimes with a highly seasoned breadcrumb mixture or sausage meat. Here are some pictures showing how to assemble and the final result.
