Do you know how to prevent your windshield from freezing? A frozen windshield is a common occurrence in winter. Scraping ice from the glass is a time-consuming and unpleasant task, and is especially unnecessary when you are in a hurry to get to work. Fortunately, there is a kinder solution. Vinegar and water spray!
The Golden Fox 2016 is getting closer, and Alpine skiers will apply for the Golden Fox title on January 30 (VSL) and 31 (SL) 2016. The Slovenian skiing holiday under Pohorje will pass without Tina Maza this time (but only in a competitive sense, as she will be on the track as an expert commentator), which is no reason for us to lack reasons to cheer, as the rest of the Slovenian girls this year showed excellent performances in technical disciplines, so at the 52nd Zlata Lisica we can also hope for top rankings of domestic competitors. As always, in addition to skiing under Pohorje, it will also be lively along the track. The complete program of the 52nd Golden Foxes is published below.
Snowflakes are proof that nature is the greatest artist. So far this winter, the snow has only been a sample, so we are all the more happy about the recent dance of snowflakes, even if it also brings a lot of inconvenience. Well, detailed photos of snowflakes that are as unique as fingerprints is definitely not one of them. See snowflakes up close and in all their glory, and even those of you who don't like winter will change your opinion of it!
With 'before and after' photos, we show in a beautiful way how things have changed over time. This is the only way we usually really notice the magnitude of changes, be they positive or negative. In the following, we have selected a bunch of funny 'before and after' photos that perfectly summarize everyday situations and things that have happened to us in our lives. Laughter guaranteed!
The surreal scenes you will witness below did not originate in the wonderful world of Photoshop, as you might think. Their author, Charlie Davoli, created all the photos on his smartphone (iPhone, to be precise), and he only used mobile applications to add surreal elements to otherwise realistic scenes, or to combine two worlds.
Oscar-winner Eddie Redmayne, who already connected us with his portrait of the physicist Stephen Hawking, will finally reach your heart with his role in the film The Danish Girl. In this biographical drama, he transformed into the artist Lili Elbe, yes, a woman, and in the film he begins as a man, Einar Wegener. Einar was the first man in the world to change his gender and become a woman.
So, we have entered the new year, the year 2016. On this occasion, we have collected photos from New Year's celebrations around the world. At first, the people of Kiribati and Samoa and other Pacific islands jumped into 2016, where the year 2016 already appeared on December 31, 2015 at 11 a.m. CET, and in Sydney they prepared the most luxurious fireworks display to date. You can see below how they entered the New Year in other parts of the world, and especially in European countries.
The year 2015 waved goodbye, but the memories remain. And nothing preserves them better than photographs. During the year and towards the end of the year, we showed you a bunch of winning photos from various international contests (National Geographic, Sony, iPhone, etc.), but this time we present you a strawberry selection of the winners. Which winning photo of 2015 touched your heart the most?
Once upon a time, sparkling wine was opened with a saber, but since you shouldn't carry a saber around (and you probably don't have one at home anyway), you can use your smartphone instead! Watch a video of how to open a sparkling wine with a smartphone.
"Photobombing" is at least as old as the old photograph or the camera. Many years later, humans (and animals) master this craft "to zero". Photobombs, that is. photos with actors "interfering" in the footage often make people laugh, and 2015 did not disappoint in this regard either. Here are the best photobombs of 2015 that will make you burst with laughter.
Aretha Franklin, the American soul singer or the queen of soul, at 73 sings better than anyone else at any age! The musical diva brought even US President Barack Obama to tears with her performance of (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors event. A performance worth seeing!
National Geographic has published a gallery of the best travel photos in 2015. We have also selected some of the best, a strawberry selection of travel photos for you.
