What are some of the most beautiful yet terrifying images?

 1. Dalton Highway, Alaska

This 666-kilometer-long highway connects three villages and is the most remote snow-covered highway on planet Earth.

2. Atlantic Ocean Road, Norway

Norway's glaciated mountains combined with the beautiful Atlantic Ocean Road make it a stunning yet terrifying tourist attraction.

3. Guoliang Tunnel, China

This tunnel was initially built by local residents to provide the fastest route into the city. The huge number of people passing through this road prompted the government to widen the road to accommodate large two-way vehicles. However, the ravine nearby still offers a stunning yet terrifying sight.

4. Zozilia, India

The "public roads" that residents of Kashmir and Ladakh in India usually use to operate fulfill their daily needs.

5. Eshima Ohashi Bridge, Japan

The structure of this bridge almost always seems impossible to climb when viewed from afar. However, it is commonly used as a public road connecting Matsue and Sakaiminato.

6. Tianmen Mountain Road, China

Fans of films like Tokyo Drift and The Fast and the Furious might imagine a car drifting at a leisurely pace on a road like this. Of course, this road isn't for the faint-hearted, with its very sharp turns.

7. Transfagarasan, Romania

This relaxing yet terrifying road takes us through the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains. The views are beautiful, but you have to be careful, as the road must be called "Dare-Devil."

8. Kardhung La, India

While we usually hike to the mountains because the steep terrain is so dangerous to drive, for Indians this is a huge shock. The Guinness Book of World Records even dubbed the road the "worst highest road."

What are some images I'll have to look at multiple times to understand?

 They had been published in a newspaper, some time ago, somewhere…

…they were so strange that I kept them.

What are wonderful images of science?

 It is sometimes called the "Bolognese tear".

This is a teardrop-shaped, almost indestructible piece of glass.

The name "Rupert's Drop" is derived from Prince Rupert of the Rhine, who brought it to England in 1660. Such a piece of glass also survives a rifle bullet.

To destroy the thing, all you have to do is break off the thin end from behind, then it will disintegrate into fine glass dust. It looks something like this:

The drops led to the invention of the shatterproof glass we know today.

2 - a giant bar magnet on a series of compasses

You can clearly see the magnetic field lines that run from the North Pole to the South Pole.

3 - the optical 5X dual zoom

This is an optical zoom - not a digital zoom.

The digital zoom is pathetic in comparison.

With this technology, which uses the way periscopes work, the zoom of a camera becomes much better. And it also eliminates the "camera bump" that we often see on smartphones.

This technology was presented at the Mobile World Congress in 2017.

4 - The SpaceX Falcon 9 Landing

Why waste fuel tanks in the sea?

SpaceX has technology that allows it to land its first-stage boosters back on Earth. This has drastically reduced the cost of space missions.

5 - An "unfurnished" giant Boeing 787 aircraft.

What's the most misleading image you've ever seen?

 

And what.

And this

And this.

Not to mention that.

Nor this.

And all of those.

They all look very impressive, as if these people were beings with superhuman powers or possessed an undeniable talent for photo editing.

But do you want to know something? This "cliff" isn't actually that far from the ground. It should be positioned two meters above the ground.

It is a popular tourist spot in Pedra do Telegrafo, Brazil.

Here's a look behind the scenes of these photoshoots.

This place isn't always peaceful or magical. Almost every day there's a long line of people waiting to take photos here.

These people probably wait for hours under a scorching sun, take 50-100 photos of themselves in various positions, and then go home and spend almost half an hour editing them to post just one on Instagram.

What images made you stop and take a screenshot right away?

 I have a folder on my phone titled Sergio De Michele . I only discovered his Facebook page a few months ago. What strikes me about his photos is their rare finesse, research, and attention to detail, combined with the photographer's sensitivity and the poetry of the places. Naples-based photographer , Sergio Di Michele, is a star among so many light bulbs.

What are the most disturbing images on the internet?

 1 - Ventriloquist dummies always scare people with their anything-but-innocent features.

2 – This photo is agonizing.

3 – Photo of a scene from the American short film Rescued from an Eagle's Nest, from 1908

4 – And the puppets attack again.

5 – Black Death Doctor (in the 17th and 18th centuries, these doctors were hired to help plague victims during epidemics. Some of them wore masks like the one in the image below, which protected them from infection)

6 – Back in the day, Halloween costumes looked like this. Definitely much scarier than they are today.

7 – This photo is scarier than many skulls out there.

8 – Old and creepy photograph

9 – Alleged guinea pig in the Russian sleep deprivation experiment during World War II.

10 – This is really bizarre.
