The tradition of eggs decoration has many roots. In Christianity, the red dyed Easter eggs represent the blood of Christ. Also, the eggs are considered as a sign of resurrection, and a new life.

His sculptures are like life in wood.

This beautiful bridge was designed by British architect Norman Foster and French structural engineer Michel Virlogeux.

Probably , it was not easy to build this high beauty, just imagine the height of these piers range from 254 ft. (77.6 m) up, the second and third rising to approximately 837 ft. (255 m) and 725 ft. (22l m), respectively. And the tallest point of the bridge reaches a level about 4 percent higher than the Eiffel Tower.

About 127,000 cubic metres (166,000 cu yd) of concrete, 19,000 tonnes (21,000 short tons) of steel for the reinforced concrete and 5,000 tonnes (5,500 short tons) of pre-stressed steel for the cables and shrouds were used for this project. The lifetime of the bridge should be at least 120 years.

A really interesting mountain in Cape Town, in south Africa- Table Mountain.

1. Is is not quite easy to create models of planes and ships.

2. Creativity Palace is located on the first floor of an ordinary dwelling house on Liberty Street. Hence the name – “Liberty Island”. Apart from it, there are two others in Moscow: “Angel Island”  and “The Island of Heroes”

3. In these palaces, also other traditional activities for children and adolescents, such as dance, drama, English language, tourism, information technology etc are carried out .

4. Bokhonov Yuri G., the teacher of ship modeling, came here in 1971, when there was a station of young technicians (center modeling). He was the director of the center, and when he retired, began again to teach kids to build ships.

5.Unfortunately, not too many children come here to learn. The main reason is,  apparently,  the high cost of this hobby. It is not a cheap one.

6. Yuri  teaches 15 children and the classes are held twice a week. They spend 2 or 3 hours here.

7.Many models have been done for different museums, exhibitions and cinema.

8. A radio-controlled model of the original ship LMC (Armoured Sea Hunter that was issued in the siege of Leningrad and immediately with the stocks went into battle) was being made by a student during two years. This model has participated in competitions and exhibitions.

9. Model of the original missile boat that was built specially for the exhibition performances. Its a real prototype – Project 183R (established in 1959 based on a torpedo boat of the project 183 (the world’s first missile boats), which instead of torpedoes were assembled into two launchers for missile hangar type P-15).

10.This is a serious model, made in the late 80s for adults of all-union competition. The boat was to swim under water 50 meters and emerge in a given square.  The boat was programmed, and the software for it were drawn with the help of binary logic.

11. This club also has a swimming pool where ships can be tested.

12.Very young children are watching on floating models with round eyes.

13. There is also an aircraft modeling club which is situated in the next room.

14. Rtishchev Andrey teaches aircraft modeling.

15. The guys with patience build their model airplanes.

The features include climbing stairs, open air cat walks, little cat doors in every door, extra space in the bathroom designed especially for a litter box and many others.

Outside the house there are special fences to prevent cats from escaping.

The builders used pet-friendly construction materials which are easy to clean and which resist scratching.

Into this modern interior various kinds of climbing structures are integrated.

The rounded corners on the climbing shelves are much safer for cats than sharp pointed corners.

The owners can easily access even the upper levels.

These sweet cats are certainly enjoying themselves!

Secret tunnels, passageways just for cats, shelves, catwalks.. a kitty can not imagine a better place for living than a house build in this way!

The height of this artwork is ten meter, and the structure is made of 100 stacked layers and 2000 columns of steel plates. They are arranged in such a way  to allow visitors to perceive it as a traditional church, or according to the point of perspective the seemingly solid walls seem to break up and beautiful landscape can be seen. An equally outstanding figure can be perceived when one looks out to the landscape from the surrounding countryside which is redefined by abstract lines of the church’s architecture.

An another interesting aspect is the play of light and shadow which can be perceived only in the case that the viewer is inside the church. According to the different times of the day and the position of the sun the interior of the church changes. Feelings of supremacy, spirituality and of something supernatural are created by this admirable play of lights and shadows.

This project was named, in cooperation with Z33, by the architects : ‘Reading between the Lines’  and that project extends the idea of the transparent as the unseen or even the covert. These arghitects introduce art into the public space and access  a dialogue with its surroundings. The visitors are challenged to consider the meaning of a church as an architectural building and as a religious symbol in a totally new way. The landscape includes myriad of stories that are not always recognized at first sight. It is a task to learn how to look differently at everyday objects…and read between the lines.
