Albanese says, "My
work involves the construction of small-scale meticulously detailed
models using various materials and objects to create emotive landscapes.
Every aspect from the construction to the lighting of the final model
is painstakingly pre-planned using methods which force the viewers
perspective when photographed from a specific angle. Using a mixture of
photographic techniques such as scale, depth of field, white balance and
lighting I am able to drastically alter the appearance of my
materials."<br />

Those that are drawn to the more creepy side of life will be
thrilled to find out that 1920s Paris was obsessed with all things
macabre. And that goes for nightclubs, too. During the 20th century, a
number of different cabarets opened across the city, complete with
gargoyle ceilings, bone chandeliers and nightly shows that were just as
creepy as they were strange.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">During a dark period of world history, intellectuals pondered where to draw the line between human and animal. They arrayed humans hierarchically, from the lightest to the darkest skin. Believing that Africans were ape-like, <a href="http://thesocietypages.org/socimages/2012/07/12/whites-blacks-apes-in-the-great-chain-of-being/" style="border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-top: 1px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">they weren’t sure whether to include apes as human, or Africans as apes</a>.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">One artifact of this thinking was the “human zoo.” Kidnapped from their homes at the end of the 19th century and into the next, hundreds of indigenous people were put on display for white Westerners to view. “Often they were displayed in villages built in zoos specifically for the show,” according to a <a href="http://www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/europe-s-human-zoos-remains-of-indigenous-abductees-back-home-after-130-years-a-671759.html" style="border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-top: 1px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Spiegel Online</em></a> sent in by Katrin, “but they were also made to perform on stage for the amusement of a paying public.” Many died quickly, being exposed to diseases foreign to them.</span></div>

The Arabic word on the cloth is translated as 'Allah'. Stories from twitter revealed that the doll is possessed and has been moving around on its own when the original owner isn't home. She binded the eyes and left it far away from home so it wouldn't follow her back. <br style="line-height: 21px;" /></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Edit: turns out it the Arabic thing meant "bismillah". I think it's to trap whatever jinn or curse is inside from coming out or following the owner back home. Others speculate it's a product of black magic. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">On the very day the locals started trending a freaky suicide (guy hanging beside an apartment block) and murder case which is highly unusual in Singapore but is most probably a coincidence and not related. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br style="line-height: 21px;" /></span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It's irrelevant but you don't see multiple creepy images start appearing on the same day in a small country like singapore so many assumed they were all linked though obviously it's not.</span><br />

So you have become weary of the strain of modern life and decide to turn over a new leaf in the farthest, most quiet corner of the world you can imagine. Your travels take you to Mongolia's grassy plains, where you happily wander for days. Finally, you are content.</div>

The Khan calmly gazes upon the plains it controls, much like its tiny fleshling counterpart did all those years ago. The look on its face is that of grim satisfaction, because your natural enemies are few and far between when you're a giant stainless steel construct in the middle of rural landscape.</div>

What I love about this statue is how they've clearly made an effort to depict the rider figure as a smoothly featured human being, but no one felt the need to make the horse anything but sharp, vaguely equine steampunk angles and pure utilitarian power, like one of those machine steeds He-Man and Skeletor sometimes ride. Yes, this is giant Genghis Khan on a giant robot hell-horse, and <i style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">yes</i>, it is expecting you to run now.</div>

Supposedly, the first owner was a Lord Elphont, whose seven-member family all died within six years of Elphont receiving the statue. The Woman from Lemb was then acquired by Ivor Manucci, who died along with his entire family within the next four years. Then it went to a Lord Thompson-Noel. He and his family died. The statue disappeared for a bit, but its next confirmed owner was Sir Alan Biverbrook, who wife and two daughters shortly croaked. With two sons left, Biverbrook wisely donated the damn thing to the Royal Scottish Museum.</span></div>

Consider cursing it after you die so no one else can sit on it without dying. That's what Thomas Busby did in 1702, right before he was executed for strangling his father-in-law to death for — you got it — sitting in his chair. Supposedly 63 people who have sat on the chair met untimely deaths, sometimes mere hours after plopping their keister on Busby's beloved chair. In 1972, the Thirsk Museum actually had to suspend it from the ceiling to prevent people from committing suicide by chair.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 16px;">Bought in an antique shop in 1970, a woman gave a raggedy doll to her daughter, Donna, who was in nursing school. Donna and roommate Angie kept coming home to find the doll in different positions and different locations. Then the doll began living them notes reading "Help." And then they found the doll with blood on it. A psychic told them the doll was possessed by the spirit of a girl named Annabelle, who had died at the location where their apartment complex has been built. But the girls' friend Lou thought there was something more sinister about Annabelle, and told his friends to get rid of it. That's when Annabelle went to visit Lou, levitated up his body and strangled him until he passed out. The next night, the roommates heard what sounded like someone in the next room; Lou investigated; the girls heard him scream and ran in to find Lou with two massive claw marks on his chest, although no one else was in the room… except Annabelle. The girls called Ed and Lorraine Warren, the folks who investigated the Amityville house — who decided the doll was actually a conduit to hell that a demon was using. Two exorcisms didn't work, and now the doll resides behind a glass cause in the Warrens' occult museum, where it still moves.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 16px;">Here's the facts: Italian artist Giovanni Bragolin painted a picture of a crying boy that inexplicably became very popular in the 1950s and had many prints made. In 1985, the always reliable British newspaper <em style="box-sizing: border-box; font-style: italic; line-height: inherit;">The Sun</em> reported that a fireman claimed to have found these prints in multiple houses destroyed by fire… although the prints were perfectly fine. Apparently, British firefighters were already so freaked out by this phenomena none of them would allow copies of the painting into their own homes. More such incidents of the prints being unscathed in house fires, both before and after the article, were reported, and suddenly a story popped up that the painting was of an orphan whose home had burned down. What I want to know if why so many people wanted to hang a picture of a sobbing kid on their walls in the first place.</span></div>

Inside the vase is a note which reads: "Beware… this vase brings death." You'd immediately set it back down, heap dirt over it, and go get drunk, right? Well, whoever found the vase in 1988 was kind of a jerk, because he threw the note away and sold the vase to an auction house. The vase was bought by a pharmacist who of course died three months later. A surgeon bought the vase, and died two months later, despite being only 37 years old. Next an archaeologist bought it;, died two months later. The next owner died within a month. According to some Italian newspapers, the police confiscated the vase and reburied it in a lead box at an unknown location.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 16px;">Actor James Dean loved his 1955 Porsche Spyder. He had it extensively customized and affectionately called it his "Little Bastard." Apparently, the car was so transparently evil that Sir Alec Guinness, when meeting Dean for lunch, claimed ""If you get in that car, you will be found dead in it by this time next week." And Dean was. But the curse didn't stop there; when mechanics tried to repair the wrecked car, it fell on one of them, crushing both his legs. The car's new owner sold the engine and drivetrain to two racers; one lost control, hit a tree and died instantly, the other was injured when his car locked up and rolled over. Two thieves who tried to take pieces of the car were both injured. The car was then donated to a safety exhibit of the California Highway Patrol; the first exhibit caught fire, and the car fell on a student at the second, breaking his hip.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 16px;">In Jewish folklore, a dybbuk is an evil spirit. Supposedly, a Holocaust survivor accidentally summoned the demon while using a homemade Ouija board, but managed to trap it inside the wine cabinet. Kevin Mannis bought the box at an estate sale in 2001, and immediately started having nightmares about an evil hag — as did friends who stayed with him. Mannis gave the box to his mother, who suffered a stroke on the same day. The box's later owners have also claimed the dybbuk has appeared in their nightmares as well. The last owner was Jason Haxton, Director of the Museum of Osteopathic Medicine, who not only had nightmares but developed a strange skin disease and began coughing up blood. At that point, Haxton contacted his local Rabbis, sealed the Dybbuk back in the box, and then hid it from the world. Thanks, dude!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Born in 1792, Segato took an early interest in science and chemistry which inspired and defined him throughout his life. His focus on the process of petrification began after he visited Egypt at the age of 26 and was fascinated by the country's mummies. Upon returning to Europe and having a falling out with his partner, Segato struck out on his own and began developing new methods of mummification. After testing the waters of animal preservation, the pioneering scientist soon created his unique method of human preservation which involved a mysterious process of mineralization that turned the remains as hard as marble.</b></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Reaction to his work was mixed. While some marveled at the singular transformation Segato was able to work upon corpses, others associated his work with unnatural Egyptian mysticism. After someone broke into his laboratory and seemed to have gone through his papers, Segato began to fear his work being stolen, and eventually destroyed all of his research and notes. When Segato died in 1836, he took the secret of his process with him. He was buried in a Florence churchyard with the epitaph, "Here lies Girolamo Segato—who would be intact, petrified, if the secret of his art had not died with him."</b></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Just to the south of Mexico City is a rural area named Xochimilco (so-chee-meel-koh) which translates into ‘a place of flowers’ – it paints of picturesque scene of calm and serenity doesn’t it? But hidden away deep within its myriad of canals, is ‘The Island Of The Dolls’ a place allegedly home to the supernatural and certainly one of the creepiest places on earth.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Local folklore tells of tale involving a man named Don Julián Santana who chose to live on the island, away from his wife and kids, for 50 years before he passed away in 2001. Isolated and with scarcely any human interaction, he became convinced that the spirit of a young girl was haunting him. A wandering and restless spirit who had perished in the watery depths of the canals.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Today his cousin Anastasio maintains the island and his former home, allowing tourists to visit Don Julián Santana dwelling and obsessions with dolls for a small fee.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“There are many stories about why the dolls are here. Some people claim Don Julián was mad, and that he’d fish dolls out of the canal believing they were real children, and that he could nurse them back to life. But the real story is that, soon after Don Julián arrived on the island, he came to believe this place was haunted by the spirit of a poor young girl who drowned in the canal. So when he saw a doll floating past he took it and put it on a tree, both to protect himself from evil and make the dead girl happy. But one doll wasn’t enough; soon Don Julián had made the entire island into a shrine.”</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But after 5 decades, those dolls that were once a beacon of comfort and innocent, have degraded and rotten into something more akin to a horror movie props. They are scattered all over the island, left in various positions and strange places by Don Julián to be forgotten by time……until now.</span></div>

The former ‘holiday camp’ is in a heavy state of disrepair and despite several offers, the owners refuse to sell it. It has suffered heavily from vandalism and the details from the interior have been removed to be used in another castle. Château de Noisy is one of the most beautiful locations we have seen. As of December, 2013 – the owners of Château de Noisy have formally applied for licence to demolish this heritage castle. Please see the end of this article for links to the formal petition against this action.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;">This beautiful building is unstable and in disrepair. Internally, the structures are failing. Despite this, the building still maintains it beauty. Its likely that Château de Noisy will fall and become ruins unless the owners invest or sell. With the history, this however seems unlikely.</span></div>

<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="copy" style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4em;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Of all the stories in theme park history (and perhaps medical history), one of the most curious has to be the story of Dr. Martin Couney.</span><br />
<div align="center">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img alt="Dr. Martin Couney" height="426" src="http://www.themeparkinsider.com/art/news/coneyislandbaby.jpg" width="452" /></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Born in 1870 in Germany, Dr Couney was one of the early pioneers of neonatology. He helped to develop the baby incubator and methods of caring for premature babies. In the late 1890s, his senior associates tasked him with spreading the word of the new technology to doctors and hospitals. Couney developed an exhibit and began demonstrations at fairs and expos around the world. The exhibits proved to be very popular, but more so with the curious general public than the medical industry they were intended to reach. The exhibit generated considerable crowds and revenue, but doctors and hospitals just weren’t that interested at the time.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">After traveling exhibitions throughout Europe and the US for a few years, Dr. Couney set up a permanent exhibition in the newly opened Luna Park at Coney Island. In those days, hospitals had no special care for premature babies, so Couney was never short of patients. The outside of the building was no different than the other sideshows surrounding it. The sign above the door read “Life Begins With The Baby Incubator.” Customers were enticed in by a carnival barker and charged 25 cents to come and see the “child hatchery.”</span><br />
<br />
<div align="center">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img alt="Coney Island incubator exhibit" height="260" src="http://www.themeparkinsider.com/art/news/coneyislandincubator.jpg" width="560" /></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The inside was essentially a hospital. The atmosphere was quiet and clinical, incubators lined the walls, and trained nurses were employed to care for the babies. One of the nurses was Couney’s daughter, who ironically enough was born premature and spent some time in the incubator herself. The wet nurses employed to feed the babies were ordered on diets, and were fired if caught eating a hot dog or some other fried fare from the boardwalk. Tour guides were fired if they made jokes during the presentation. The rules and regulations for infant care were strictly enforced, and professionalism was emphasized. It was important to distinguish themselves at least a little from the pandemonium surrounding them.</span><br />
<br />
<div align="center">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img alt="Coney Island nurses" height="255" src="http://www.themeparkinsider.com/art/news/coneyislandnurses.jpg" width="198" /> <img alt="Coney Island incubators" height="201" src="http://www.themeparkinsider.com/art/news/coneyislandincubators.jpg" width="251" /></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Naturally, there were those opposed to the idea of putting premature babies on display for the purposes of entertainment and profit. More than once there was a movement to shut him down. Dr. Couney had his reasons though, for throughout the show’s existence, he never charged a cent to the parents of the children he treated. It was the revenue of the paying customers covering the very high operating costs. He never took a payment for his services, and he accepted children of all kinds. Race, economic class, and social status were never factors in his decision to treat. The names were always kept anonymous, and in later years the doctor would stage reunions of his “graduates.” The medical profession that had once called him into question eventually embraced his methods and began promoting their use and sending him patients. Dr. Couney would eventually open more incubator attractions…a couple more at Coney Island and a handful around the country at other amusement centers and fairs.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Eventually, the enormous expense of running the exhibits began to outweigh the revenue as public interest in the attraction waned. Dr. Couney had made his case for the preemie though, and almost forty years after attraction opened, the first research center for premature infants was opened at Cornell University’s New York Hospital, reportedly differing very little from his operation. By this time, other hospitals were also opening treatment centers of their own. In 1943, Couney declared his work “finished” and closed for good. It’s reported that over 40 years of operation, Couney’s incubator attractions had an 80% success rate and saved about 6500 newborns from almost certain death. He died a few years later in 1950, having left his mark in both the theme park and medical industry.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>There are mysteries that are so eerie and strange that they boggle the mind for days on end. The case of Elisa Lam is one of them. In February 2013, this 21-year-old student from Vancouver, Canada, was found dead inside the Cecil Hotel’s rooftop water tank <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span>in Los Angeles. The L.A. County Department of Coroner ruled the death “accidental due to drowning” and said no traces of drugs or alcohol were found during the autopsy. However, there is much more to the story than what is implied by police reports. The first piece of evidence that needs to be considered is an elevator surveillance tape that recorded Elisa’s behavior only a few moments before she lost her life.</b></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 15px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>The four-minute video posted on YouTube shows Elisa pressing all of the elevator buttons and waiting for it to move.

Right after the events of the video, Elisa apparently gained access to the rooftop of the hotel, climbed to its water tank and, somehow, ended up drowning in it. Her body was found two weeks after her death, after hotel guests complained about the water’s taste and color. Incredible.</div>

At first, Elisa enters the elevator and apparently presses all of its buttons. She then waits for something to happen but, for some reason, the elevator door doesn’t shut. She starts to look around, as if she is expecting (or hiding from) someone. At 1:57, her arms and hands start moving in a very strange matter (almost not human) as she appears to be talking to someone, something … or nothing at all. She then walks away. The elevator door then shuts and appears to start working again.</div>

Seeing the surveillance footage, most people would conclude that she was under the influence of drugs. However, Elisa did not have a history of drug use and her autopsy concluded that no drugs were involved. When one looks at the context and the circumstances of this death, things become even more mysterious.</div>

Built in the 1920s to cater to “businessmen to come into town and spend a night or two”, Cecil Hotel was quickly upstaged by more glamorous hotels. Located near the infamous Skid Row area, the hotel began renting rooms on a long-term basis for cheap prices, a policy that attracted a shiftier crowd. The hotel’s reputation quickly went from “shifty” to “morbid” when it became notorious for numerous suicides and murders, as well as lodging famous serial killers.</div>

Now on death row, Ramirez, labeled “the Nightstalker”, was living at the Cecil Hotel in 1985, in a top floor room. He was charged 14 dollars a night. In a building filled with transients, he remained unnoticed as he stalked and killed his 13 female victims.

The story of Elisa Lam is eerily similar to the 2005 horror movie Dark Water. Dahlia, the main protagonist of the movie moves into an apartment building with her young daughter Cecilia. Both of these names are relevant. Black Dahlia is the nickname given to Elizabeth Short, a woman who was the victim of a gruesome murder in 1947 – one that appeared to be particularly ritualistic. The case was never solved. According to LA Observed, it is rumored that Black Dahlia was at Cecil Hotel right before she lost her life.</div>

After moving into her apartment, Dahlia notices dark water leaking from the ceiling in her bathroom. She ultimately discovers that a young girl named Natasha Rimsky drowned in the building’s rooftop water tank, which caused the water to turn black. The owner of the apartment building knew about this fact but refused to take action. Elisa Lam’s body was in the water tank for over two weeks, causing hotel guests to complain about foul tasting “black water”.</div>

The ending of the movie is also eerily relevant: The apartment buildings elevator malfunctions and the ghost of Cecilia’s mother braids her hair. Is Elisa Lam’s death one of those ritualistic murders that are synchronistically mirrored in a Hollywood movie?</div>

As is usually the case for strange deaths, authorities have been incredibly secretive and non-transparent during this investigation. What truly happened here? Why are there so many strange coincidences? Why was Elisa Lam acting so strange in the elevator? Was there a ritualistic aspect to this death? Why is the Cecil Hotel a hotbed for these kinds of stories? Is there some paranormal stuff going on there involving dark entities? The mystery appears to be whole and authorities do not seem to be wanting to probe further.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> STF Kolarbyn eco-lodges are located in the thick of Sweden's woods and are not your typical hostels. For anyone who's always dreamed of living inside the trunk of an actual tree, these eco-lodges are not quite that experience, but they're about as close as most are likely to get.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Constructed from all-natural material, each hut has a wood heater, and offers no electricity, nor running water. And it should be reiterated, it is a hut -- made of little more than wood and tree branches, providing a completely unique experience both outside and in.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Candles, matches, and firewood for self-cutting are included in the amenities. A nearby spring is used to fetch water, and several fire pits are available for outdoor cooking, that is, after the firewood has been chopped. An organic self-serve breakfast made from all local, all organic fare is offered during the fall, spring, and summer seasons. Other activities on the site include a floating sauna, biking, hiking, and wolf-howling.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In 2004 Kolarbyn started a project to preserve Sweden’s 400-year-old tradition of charcoaling -a process of extracting iron by producing charcoal in kilns. Around the Kolarbyn sites are hundreds of remnants of charcoal kilns, and since 2004 many new kilns have been put to use. Guests are invited to watch the process or to work with the kiln, and a portion of their money goes to the upkeep of this practice.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Young Korean artist Jee Young Lee recently presented her beautiful, surrealistic and Photoshop-free photography exhibition named “Stage of Mind”. The magic happens in the artist’s small 3,6 x 4,1 x 2,4-meter studio in Seoul. The artist builds these highly dramatic, psychedelic and visually intense scenes herself, ensuring that every teeny tiny detail is hauntingly perfect and leaves the viewer in awe.</b></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Jee Young Lee works with such precision that the creation of a set often takes weeks or even months of work. As soon as the otherworldly sets are done, the artist incorporates herself in them in various different ways and takes these stunning self-portraits.</b></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>According to the artist herself, all of the photography sets and her specific roles in them tell a particular story about her personal life experiences or resurrect traditional Korean fables or other cultural heritage from around the world. Her work is a deep self-reflection for the artist and a means to explore her psychological identity.</b></span></div>
