Too good eyes
Two good wheels. In the high passes of the Himalayas, every curve demands your full attention - eyes locked on the road ahead, hands steady on the bars, mind clear of everything that lies behind. Two good wheels. Yet this cinematic motorcycle journey through Ladakh is more than pure focus; it is the adventurous spirit of travel made visible. Vast valleys open without warning, thin air sharpens the senses, and each broken mountain track becomes an invitation rather than an obs

Leaf people
In just a few poetic minutes, ordinary foliage transforms into living, breathing figures - humanoid forms stitched together from leaves, bark, and the restless breath of the wind. These surreal leaf people are the landscape. Bodies rustle, limbs sway like branches, and faces emerge from layered greens as if nature itself decided to stand up, walk and dance. Mamta B Herland’s blend of storytelling and nature symbolism turns the familiar into something mythic. The film feels le

Pulsed caroket
Tesla’s new Roadster does not merely accelerate; it briefly escapes the earth. Cold-gas thrusters, fed by two high-pressure tanks of compressed air and guided by SpaceX precision, lift the car, roll it, and hold it aloft for a handful of heartbeats - four or five seconds at most - before gravity reclaims its due. A powerful underbody suction system pins it upside-down when stationary, while the invite-only Rocket trim turns every launch into a short, spectacular defiance of p

Glitz vs Grit
Art Deco dazzles with its glamorous geometry - sleek lines, luxurious materials, and sunburst motifs that capture the optimistic, high-society energy of the 1920s and ’30s. Brutalism answers with the opposite extreme: raw, unfinished concrete, massive forms, and an unapologetic honesty that prioritizes function and social idealism over ornament. Where Art Deco seduces with elegance and escapism, Brutalism confronts with weight and authenticity. One invites you to the party; t

Handsome portrayal
He moved through the frame like a secret the camera had sworn never to tell - eyes the color of winter glass, a stillness that made every gesture feel like the last before the knife. Alain Delon did not act so much as withhold; beauty was the mask, silence the weapon, and in that elegant refusal to explain himself he became the century’s most perfect enigma. A gentleman of style, known for his impeccable tailoring, Riviera nonchalance, and magnetic presence. On screen he proj

Krakow's charm, reserved
Krakow, unknown, who would have guessed? A timeless, dragon-haunted city of spires, of Gothic grace and cobbled desires, where countless gorgeous churches rise in gold and stone, their quiet beauty claimed by the faithful alone, the hejnał truncates the hour’s soft call and Wawel stands watch by the river’s wall— stone guardian of kings in the medieval night, layered and luminous, regal and light. Candlelit courtyards and sacred quiet space, a meditative beauty, a soft, ancie

Fountain of Restoration
A luminous meditation on renewal and self-reinvention. As the opening track of the 2014 audiovisual series BLUE, it follows the protagonist as she leaves the past behind—“dust to dust”—and ventures beyond the familiar fringe of the woods into uncharted territory. Through powerful water imagery of surging fountains, tides, and giant waves, the song captures the cleansing of old wounds, the gathering of inner strength, and the quiet determination to push through cold and ache t

Congress in Prague
Heatwave omega dome on, phew. But still so glad to have visited with about 1800 ophthalmologists from around the world. Prague is a fairytale, a tiny gem packed with medieval charm. Narrow old cobblestone streets, stunning complementry varied architecture, and pleasing views around every corner. Beautiful and magical. At the heart, a 600 year old 500m long royally majestic arch bridge sits across the winding river Vltava, and an astronomical clock, a mind-blowin masterpiece t

Vertical Ambition: The Symbolism of Skyscrapers
Embodying human ambition, technological prowess, economic power, and cultural aspiration. Since their emergence in the late 19th century, these neck-craning giants have served as modern equivalents to ancient monuments like pyramids or cathedrals - monuments to progress, dominance, and the desire to reach toward the heavens. Louis Sullivan, the "father of skyscrapers", emphasized their verticality as expressing "the force and power of altitude... the glory and pride of exalta
