What? No Divine?

обезьяна с гранатой -это очень опасно!!!!!!!!!

The link "Continue to thrilling movie posters" actually goes to Air Stewardesses.

Guy, link fixed, thank you.

Sophia Loren linkpic? I'm not convinced about the "Western" connection. West End London, perhaps. It's an outfit from her / Peter Sellars film "The Millionairess". Try YT for a most enoyable clip from the film.

Forgot Sharon Stone in the "Quick and the Dead"

Can we call them 'Cow Belles'? If so, ring, ring.

Those pictures of NY in the 70/80's almost deserve to be accompanied by danish photographer Jacob Holdt's pictures of "Brutal New York 1965/95", here as seen on skyscrapercity.com:

The animal in the fourth picture is a Solenodon (I believe that's how they call them in english) and is an endemic animal from the country I come from, Dominican Republic, but also found in our neighbor country, Haiti. Is endangered, btw.

The pictures of the Bronx are sobering indeed...

The quintessential 'trip' movie "Koyaanisqatsi" features very similar images, images that truly mainstream shocked '70s America. The film as a whole is an entirely unique experience and I recommend it highly (plus the music is by Phillip Glass, which cannot fail to be magnificent).

I'll have to pygmy up one of those geckos. I can send them down for milk and be assured they'll return... eventually...

Another magnificent update, Avi. Many thanks from the Antipodes.

Great bit of gecko footage there! And I never quite understood why (other than for sheer amusement) the Gecko in the insurance ad has an east London accent??? That second pic, is pretty mad! Considering something I was reading in The Daily Dust about how health and safety in the UK posting guidelines on how to safely eat a biscuit, I can't imagine that country allowing this sort of thing any time soon! Awesome pics once again!

Here's a real staircase above Crescent St. in Montreal that looks kinda like the art installation!

For a very industrial looking cell phone, there is this one made from farming tools...
sci-fi cell phone sculpture :o)

I am so thankful that this gallery does differentiate between concept & finished product, Just because someone cam make a picture of something doesnt mean it can actually be made.I am so sick of tech blogs telling us the flying car or whatever is just round the corner.
You will never purchase any of these "products" at any price because the manufacturing processes in order to produce these phones DOES NOT EXIST!
I am now two cents poorer.

Cell phone stun guns are pretty cool/weird and they already exsist.

This is the web-site for a pub quite near to where I live. http://www.catandcustardpot.co.uk/
No satisfactory explanation for the name has ever been found

Another one that has "reputed" origins is "The Case Is Altered". The most common origin given is "La casa alta" brough back from the peninsula campaign during the Napoleonic wars.

In the '80s, traditional pubs were bought up by the fistful by large breweries who wanted places to sell their beer exclusively. Many, many original and quite exquisite turned-wood fittings, stained-glass windows and other irreplaceable pieces of history were tossed out to make way for cocktail bars and large-screen TVs.

Ironically, in the past decade well-heeled young revellers have been craving the feel of yore. Now these breweries are spending a fortune making ersatz versions of what they ripped out to begin with.

loved this article, but great to see that the UK is still keeping the tradition alive, shame to see to many Weatherspoon etc...

There's a pub in the New Forest called The World's End - seemed like quite a pleasant spot really, without a cliff or an apocalypse in sight.

I have been to the last drop. Definitely a recommendation!

There was a time when the traditional English oub was strong but times have changed and I agree there are too many bars around in Britain

My parents used to have a cottage in Earl Sterndale where the Quiet Woman is! It's a tiny village in a steep gorge in probably the most bleak part of the Peak District National Park - and the pub is about as bleak and quiet as its name! In fact every time I've been there it's been closed... although apparently it does open daily - bizarre place!

Great names! The Kings Head is always a popular one too, and the "Wicked Woman" looks pretty attractive from where I'm standing!

I don't know about the first vehicle but the O'keefe truck belonged to The O'keefe Brewery which was purchased by the Carling Brewery becoming the Carling O'keefe brewery which was then purchased by the Molsons Group. At no time did it ever belong to Labatts.

The photographer of the Hakka houses is actually named Ryan Pyle (that's a y in his last name). And he's a very nice guy!

The swastika is a Hindu symbol, facing either way. The Nazi's stole only the right-pointing one. (This is why it's amusing once in a while to see a stupid neo-nazi with the hindu symbol for evolution of the universe, the left-facing one.)

Michael Moschen gave a ted talk years ago and discussed his philosophy and approach towards juggling. Worth watching for anyone who enjoyed the triangle piece. He's amazing!

Is there any info where or by whom the last photo, with the helicopters, was taken?

No info... would like to know about this one, too.

these are from the site:
EnglishRussia.com it is in their abandon Russian countries series on war machines forgotten.

Heh, minefield sandals and metal detectors. Just got a flashback to my combat engineering service.

Great Photographs

Re Art Deco, I heartily recommend The Netherlands Plaza, at 3rd and Race St in downtown Cincinatti, OH. Furnishings purchased at the original Art Deco exposition in Paris, 192x. The 1st floor bar is probably the most surreal place to get drunk east of the mississippi.

There's a reason why all of Vegas is photographed at night. The build "quality" of these structures is mediocre. Walk around during the day and look. Vegas is a visual dump by day.

Jack is 100% right. Vegas is a paper mache city. Th build quality and energy efficiency of most of those buildings is shameful.

The chocolate fountain smells fantastic in person. I have tried many times to photograph the ceiling in the Venetian and the pictures always come out too dark. Loved the vintage nighttime shots though, well done!

Hard to believe that Vegas started out as a Mormon outpost.

Antikythera is a greek, not an african island

Fantastic photos! Too bad a great invention like the watch more often than not spells the demise of these old clocks - that today will carry a hefty price tag! I was reading about an ancient water clock the other day, that apparently kept time more accurately than anything else until the 17th century, or something like that anyway...

These clocks need to be preserved well, it is funny you did not include biig ben but I guess it was not astrological enough.

That's So Cool Photos, Wonderful Post, in Future People will use this old cool clock at there home..! i think..!

One very famous clock is missing from this collection and that's the Eise Eisinga planetarium in the modest Frisian city of Franeker. He build his clock inside his home and at present is the oldest working still acurate clock of it's kind. W

Thank you for this great tip - we will include it in the follow-up article.
