Play tug-of-war with tigers at Busch Gardens Zoo in Florida [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf February 24, 2013 3

As dangerous as they may be, we have seen plenty of instances of humans interacting safely with tigers (and lions). And this applies to playing tug-of-war, too.

The following photos are of Busch Gardens Zoo in Tampa Bay, Florida (USA). As you can see, zoo visitors get to play tug-of-war [...]

Beautiful winter landscape at night with a shining tree [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf February 23, 2013 1

I do not know about anyone else but I, for one, love nature. No, no — I don’t like delving in nature (e.g. camping? yeah right) but I do enjoy the natural beauty of nature (see what I did there?). The following photo is one such example; check it out:[...]

Eruption of a volcano, as seen from space [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf February 22, 2013 6

Volcano eruptions are not very fun for the people who live nearby — having to evacuate, property damage (destruction), death in some cases, etc. However, volcano eruptions from space look, to put it simply, awesome.

The following image and short video are of the eruption of Sarychev volcano on the [...]

Terrific long-exposure photo of Space Shuttle Endeavour launch at night [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf February 20, 2013 1

As I am sure many dotTechies already know, NASA has terminated its Space Shuttle program in favor of helping fostering the commercial (private) sector fill the gap… and so NASA can save money (which hopefully will be put towards other cutting-edge research).

The following photo is a long-exposure taken of [...]

Awesome photo of a “ghost” in a cemetery [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf February 19, 2013 2

I am very much a left-brained person, meaning I lack creativity. Sometimes I wish I was more right-brained so I could come up with awesome projects like the following.

The following is a long-exposure photo of a man who “ran around a cemetery like a ghost covered by a sheet [...]

Tiger + snowball = unique pic [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf February 18, 2013 4

How many dotTechies have lived, or live, in an area that receives regular snow? If you have, or do, then you probably have played in the snow… including pelting others (friends, family, neighbors, the ice cream truck, etc.) with snowballs. Have you ever tried throwing a snowball at an angry [...]

Stunning photo of a man “walking on clouds” [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf February 17, 2013 3

A ‘salt flat’ is a large area of land where the evaporation of some body of water has left large deposits of salt. At an area of 10,582 square kilometers (4,086 sq mi), Salar de Uyuni (located in Potosi and Oruro areas of southwest Bolivia) is the largest salt flat [...]

Ashraf February 16, 2013 8

‘The Float at Marina Bay’ is a floating football (soccer) stadium in Singapore [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf February 15, 2013 4

You know I used to think here in the United States we live the good life. Being the richest and most advance country in the world, we must have the best standard of living (ignoring the fact that we are in debt above our eyeballs). However, after seeing many of [...]

Stunning photo of our Sun, like you have never seen it before [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf February 14, 2013 4

What happens when you combine a filter that only captures a very narrow wavelength of light (H-alpha, emitted by hydrogen) with a 90mm telescope and point it at the Sun? You get an awesome, unique photo of said Sun. That is exactly what photographer Alan Friedman did and the result [...]

Ashraf February 13, 2013 2

Most people have heard of Hurricane Sandy, the storm that devastated the American East Coast last year. The same region that was hit with Hurricane Sandy was recently hit with a winter blizzard and/or snowstorm. The city of Boston was hit with plenty of snow, with some outlets indicating somewhere [...]

That is a lot of tigers in one place at the same time [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf February 6, 2013 4

I am sure everyone has heard a derivative of the joke “how many [insert name here] does it take to screw in a light bulb”. However, I am sure none of you heard the following version: how many tigers does it take to catch a bird? Apparently, many. Check it [...]

Stunning view of Dubai from above [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf February 5, 2013 0

Dubai is known in some circle as the Las Vegas of the Middle East. Why? I am not completely sure but probably because of how many tourists visit the city every year. It definitely isn’t because of similar terrain.

In any case, we have shared photos of Dubai in the [...]

‘Clouded leopards’ look awesome, regardless of if you like big cats or not [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf February 4, 2013 7

In the past I have been (playfully) accused of being overly obsessive with big cats. I denied it and, to prove my innocence, I stopped posting about big cats for a while. You know, like five days. Maybe.

Oh screw it. I’m lying. I didn’t actually purposefully stop posting about [...]

This is an awesome Batman-fighting-Jaws snowman [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf February 3, 2013 3

Maybe I am the oddball here (okay, I am most definitely the oddball here) but I never, ever learned how to build a snowman. To this day I don’t know how to build a snowman. And it isn’t because I have never lived in places where it snows. I just [...]

It takes a lot of guts to get inside the ‘Cage of Death’, a pool with a crocodile [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf February 2, 2013 3

Check out Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel, a hotel in Norway made of ice and snow [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf February 1, 2013 4

Aside from Norwegians and oil, what is something found in abundance in Norway? Snow (and, consequently, ice). So what to do with all that snow and ice? How about… build an ice and snow hotel!

The following is Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel in Alta, Norway. It is a 2000 square feet, [...]

This is the ‘Pacific barreleye’, a fish with a transparent head (!) [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf January 31, 2013 4

Okay, before I share today’s find with you, let me say that, when I first came across this, I was astonished and swore it was some sort of photoshopped trick. However, the Pacific barreleye fish is real and it really has a transparent head. Here is how National Geographic describes [...]

You have not seen purple until you have seen these lavender fields in France [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf January 30, 2013 4

Aside from French kissing, french fries, and french toast (which, by the way, the latter two are not French), what are the French known for? *Controls urge to make racist (?) French joke* The Eiffel Tower? Check. A president who divorces his wife and marries a supermodel while in office? [...]

Ashraf January 29, 2013 2

Ashraf January 28, 2013 6

Taj is a 370lb Golden Bengal Tiger in Cougar Mountain Zoo in Issaquah, Washington (the state). One day a little baby girl approached his cage, placing her hands out in amazement on the glass separating the two. Instead of simply ignoring the girl or snarling at her, Taj did something [...]

Forget micro apartments; try living in ‘Roll it’, a home made of three cylinders [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf January 26, 2013 3

Yesterday we shared with you an interior design of a 300 square feet micro apartment. If you found the micro apartment to be too small for your taste, then you probably won’t be found of ‘Roll it’.

Developed by two students out of University of Karlsruhe in Germany, Roll it [...]

This is a beautifully decorated 300-square-foot ‘micro apartment’ [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf January 25, 2013 9

Last week we saw the 420 square feet home of entrepreneur Graham Hill, the founder of TreeHugger.com. While small, the brilliance of the home was it was designed so that it actually provided Hill with eight living spaces. Want to see similar, awesomely designed and decorated ‘micro apartment’ (as they [...]

Spectacular photo of a man in a wheelchair standing on his hands, upside down [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf January 24, 2013 18

When you see a man or woman in a wheelchair, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? I will be totally honest with you; the first thing that comes to my mind is ‘disabled’. However, as the following photo shows, people in wheelchairs may be at a [...]

What would you do if you saw these two beasts running at you? [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf January 23, 2013 24

If I were to say today I have another photo of lions to share with you, would you accuse me of being a cat lover? ‘Cause I am not. I just happen to find awesome photos of big, wild cats.

In any case, I do indeed have a photo of [...]

At this restaurant you have dinner on tables in water, barefoot, and next to a waterfall [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf January 22, 2013 7

There are probably millions of restaurants around the world. I bet near your house there are at least a dozen. So, when you are hungry and you want to eat out, how do you decide which restaurant to go to? The food is obviously one criterion but, aside from that, [...]

These are the airplanes of the future [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf January 21, 2013 21

How many dotTechies are airplane enthusiasts? (I am not.) If you are, then you probably know about the evolution of airplanes, aka how airplanes have changed since they were first invented by Orville and Wilbur Wright on December 17, 1903. In particular I’m referring to design; what you see today [...]
