The house is narrow, but its openings outward are broad, which gives the interior the character of a sheltering niche in the open space of the expansive landscape.

Astounding Tilt-Shift Perspectives of World Monuments!
Anyone who’s traveled to popular touristic sites knows the feeling of being caught in the crossfire of countless camera lenses—the annoyed (and annoying) jockeying to capture the perfect shot…which in most cases looks exactly like everyone else’s. When we stumbled across Richard Silver’s photographs of iconic monuments, we were shocked—caught in the same tourist hustle, Silver manages to give us a new perspective on famous landmarks we didn’t think possible.

How to take the “monumental” out of the worlds monuments. Super cool.

A ‘monster’ tornado tears through central Oklahoma
Though the death toll following one of the worst tornadoes in history has ticked down to 24 after reports yesterday said as many as 51 had been killed, the scene remains grim in Moore, Okla.
Rescuers are still tearing through the wreckage, while President Obama assured those left standing after the storm that the nation will stand by them for “as long as it takes.”
Read more on the disaster here, and follow reporter Matt Pearce, who is reporting live from the tragic scene.

Photo Op of the Day: Miguel’s Stage Dive FAIL
During last night’s 2013 Billboard Music Awards, R&B singer Miguel attempted to soar over a crowd of fans to the other side of the stage while performing the song “Adorn,” but unfortunately ended up kicking a fan right in the head on his way down. The 27-year-old singer, who finished his act before reuniting with her in the backstage after the show, later told reporters that the fan managed to avoid any serious injury (thankfully), but the incident has already inspired quite a few image macros and clever photoshopped images.
Epic!!
