Classic motorhomes are too big and bulky, caravans are impractical and not flexible enough. What do you choose? The new Volkswagen California small camper, a vehicle created for camping enthusiasts. Seven seats, as many as five beds, a retractable roof and two versions of the itinerary. All this with the basic Beach model, which, like the other two "Californias" of the sixth generation, will initially be powered by a TDi diesel unit, and later by a gasoline engine.

Sometimes I walk around the keyboard, sometimes in nature. One time I twist the heels, the other time the kitchen. I press the trigger once, the pedals a second time. And one time I play the role of a moviegoer, another time a nanny. Life offers such a wide range of things that it would be pointless to dip your brush in just a color or two, right?
Forget telescopes. The Nikon Coolpix P900 digital camera has such an impossible zoom that you can see the moon with it. For him, even the sky is no longer the limit, and his 83-fold magnification not only sets new milestones, but also brings things that were previously in the domain of satellites, astronauts and sinfully expensive equipment closer to ordinary mortals. For just over 550 euros, you can now use your camera to peek and document the happenings on the Moon through your home window.
Do you remember when Russian photographers Vadim Mahora and Vitali Raskalov captured the world's attention with photos taken illegally from the top of the Giza pyramids? Or those taken from the top of the unfinished Ping An skyscraper in China? A crazy adventure or an audacious and disrespectful act, Russians are not alone in such actions. We have collected the most spectacular photos of tourist attractions around the world that were taken illegally.
Many breathtaking works of art are created by human hands. Also, works of art are created on the hands that rival those on the canvases. One who falls into this second category of artist is Russell Powell, but he doesn't do tattoos, which is what you might think at first. Powell draws incredibly realistic portraits with his own hand, or rather the palm of his hand. But his pictures don't just stay on his hand, because he prints them on paper like a stamp.
The embankment of the Ljubljanica called Špica, where bathers once thronged and which is located just a stone's throw away from the center of Ljubljana, will once again have a richer restaurant offer as of June 30, 2015. There are now again crowds of people who are not cooling off, relaxing or walking along the Ljubljanica river, but rather catching the sun's rays in the Špica Caffe cafe, which is part of the Kaval Group restaurant chain.
Snowden is a biographical drama about a former contract employee of the US National Security Agency (NSA), who made global headlines in June 2013 after sacrificing his life for the greater good and exposing secret government surveillance of phone and online data through the Guardian newspaper ordinary citizens and foreign high statesmen. The feature film about the whistleblower was directed by the legendary Olive Stone, who is no stranger to this type of film, as he already has biographical films JFK and Nixon.
The medical journal The Lance has discovered that climate change will have a greater impact than first predicted. Compared to 1990, four times more people will be exposed to extreme rains, and the number of people affected by drought will triple compared to 1990. So who is safe from climate change? Of course, we will all feel and are already feeling the impact, but who will take it the worst? Check the survival of which countries are most threatened by climate change and how Slovenia is doing.
While the company Uber, which helps users with mobility in major cities through an application, is avoiding lawsuits and bans (Germany, Italy) because it represents unfair competition to transport services, the Americans offered Turkish users in Istanbul the UberBOAT service, which provides an alternative transport for crossing the Bosporus sea strait. Instead of driving across a bridge or ferry, people can choose to travel by motorboat or speedboat.
Why are people happy? What makes us happy? The reasons are varied, as happiness comes in many forms. It can be a walk in the park, watching a movie, licking an ice cream or watching the sunset. And while these are all real reasons for happiness, scientists have discovered the true essence of happiness. And this is bringing out the good or the best qualities in others.
There is fierce competition in the upper mid-range of smartphones, but it seems that Meizu's successor to the popular MX4 model, the Meizu MX5, will have no problem competing with rivals, neither with those in its category, nor with premium brand models. With the difference that it will be half the price of the latter. The most modest version, the one with 16 GB of memory, will cost just over 250 euros.
Given that smartphones have largely replaced digital cameras, it makes sense that more and more photography gadgets are adapting to them. One such example is the lightbox Lightcase Pro, a collapsible portable photo studio for smartphones, which is therefore the right choice for all those who want to take professional photos of objects with a smartphone. It is available on Kickstarter.
Say goodbye to bulky bike racks and say hello to TrunkMonkey, the world's most portable inflatable bike rack. When not in use, use the air compressor to deflate it like a water cushion, store it in the included bag, which can be attached to the bicycle seat holder or stored in a backpack or trunk. You can pre-order yours on Kickstarter.
