Picture - Romantic Paris? Only on the advertising!
Have you recently been in Europe, specially Paris? It suppose to be a romantic city but instead, it is packed with tourists. It is impossible to get anywhere – like the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Versailles and any other big museum, without standing first in big queues for few hours. There is a queue to buy tickets and then there is another queue to enter with the Museum pass, and there is another queue for the tours. Very frustrating and a lot of wasted time!

Picture - recycle everything
Plastic bottles Christmas trees were a tourist attraction this winter in the squares of one of the most famous European cities. Illuminated at night for a stunning effect, this extravagant design or modern usage of recycling materials is made of squashed plastic green drinking bottles hanging of the rings of different sizes and imitating Christmas tree shape. Designed by the French artist Fabrice Peltier, the photo was taken near Louvre, Paris. |

Picture - Human hair taken at Auschwitz Nazi Germany Death Camp.
What is a use of human's hair? This bizarre picture of human hair shows how everything was taken away from people sentenced to death at Auschwitz Nazi Germany death camps during WWII. 7,000 kilos of human hair was found at Auschwitz camp's liberation in 1945. The human hair was used to make sox and fabric for German solders' uniforms. Germans took away people’s cloths, shoes, suitcases, eating utensils, hair & tooth brushes, glasses, prosthesis, and many more items including golden teeth. All was transported to Germany and reused. Let us not forget that these were people. |
