The Antirrhinum¸ Dragon’s Skull ─ The Repulsive Complexion of Snapdragon Seed Pods

The Antirrhinum Majus are counted in the garden plants list since many years. They commonly known as “Snapdragon” that too for a charming reason, and also known as the dragon flower. The flower of these plants imitate the dragon head. The dragon flower actually resembles the dragon. When it is squeezed and released, it opens and closes its so called “dragon” mouth. But that’s not the only weird thing about this plant. When the flower collapse, it shows its more evil side. It appears as a dragon’s skull!

Nature is so mysterious it’s amazing how something that looks exactly like a human skull will show up on a flowers seedpod.

Rozenburg Wind Wall

Rozenburg is a small port town and former municipality in the western Netherlands, in the province of South Holland. After the second World War, the port of Rozenburg grew almost explosively along the Nieuwe Maas river towards the sea. To handle the burgeoning sea traffic, a canal was built in the late 1960s running parallel to the already present Nieuwe Waterweg canal.

Cow fights off Bear


Old Train Bogie Turned into Churches


The creative adaptive reuse architecture in the world, these converted churches are some of the strangest things most patrons have probably ever seen – a combination of a conventional symbol of modern transportation. 


While they may seem desolate and distant in some cases they are clearly at times at the center of active religious communities who perhaps cannot afford to build a brand-new structure.
 It is clear that though the trappings of typical religious buildings can be added to these unused train cars there is no way to easily convert them to their new purpose entirely without showing many signs of their previous lives.
 In some cases, these conversions involve a fast-and-simple facade that bear the traditional symbols and materials of a church front but give way to an anything-but-ordinary religious space within.
 Nonetheless, some of the results are surprisingly convincing when they involve camouflaging the building and blending materials like wood with old rusted paint jobs and putting up fences to mask the appearance of the structure from a distance. But love to see all of them.
