Unusual Aircraft

Unusual Aircraft

Aren't these interesting?

Unfortunately, I don't know what any of them are... don't know their names, their common or uncommon uses. If you know - I'd love it if you'd tell me and I'll update the post properly.

Dewdrop Tree Tents

treetents01


I thought these were pretty cool! These dewdrop shaped Treetents were designed by Dutch sculptor and designer Dré Wapenaar. Originally designed to ease the lives of tree-sitting activists, they also make excellent treetop retreats for campers, kids, and anyone soothed by an evening spent softly swaying among the branches. Each beautifully formed droplet attaches directly to a tree trunk and is roomy enough to sleep a family of four.

Katie Derham looked a million dollars as she was pictured in a dress made out of money (£50k of notes/pound coins in total) to launch the ITV show The People's £50 Million Lottery Giveaway.

Swimming Pool On The Water

I believe this is in Germany. The pool was made from a barge, and floats on a river that is too polluted to swim in. It's called Badeschiff. Nifty, huh?

Here's something different!

An inflatable Porsche!
It's an inflatable Porsche!
I wonder if the inflatable version costs as much as the real thing.

Rare Prehistoric Shark

The staff of a Japanese aquarium took pictures of a rare frilled shark, after it was discovered by local residents at Awashima Port in Shizuoka, southwest of Tokyo. This prehistoric shark is rarely seen alive as its natural habitat lies up to 1,280 metres (4,200 feet) deep under the sea.

Nifty, isn't it...

But wait! Where's the road?

amphibious_bus
Is this the view from the back door?

amphibious_bus
Actually, yes it is.
This bus is so cool that it practically walks on water!

Here it goes,
down the ramp and into the lake!

How cool is that?

And yes, it drives on land too.
Check out the big screen TV!

Wow!
It's the world's first luxury Amphibious Motor Coach/Yacht. It is combined with the best features of world class yachts and Motor Coaches in a revolutionary design and yes, as you can see, it does go in the water.
