Strandbeests are a series of kinetic sculptures created by Dutch artist @TheoJansen_Official. These sculptures are designed to move and function without the use of any electronic or mechanical components. Instead, they utilize the power of wind and the kinetic energy from their own movements to walk across beaches and other flat surfaces. Jansen began designing the Strandbeests in the early 1990s and has continued to refine and develop the concept over the years. The sculptures are made from PVC tubing, zip ties, string and other lightweight materials. They feature a complex system of joints and linkages that enable them to walk forward and turn in response to changes in wind direction. The Strandbeests have become increasingly popular in recent years and have been exhibited in museums and galleries around the world. Jansen has also created a number of DIY kits and instructional videos to help others build their own Strandbeests. He sees them as a way to explore the relationship between art, engineering, and nature, and as a potential solution to environmental challenges such as rising sea levels.

@h_lens137 —Nestled in the heart of Lebanon lies Tannourine, a place of remarkable natural beauty. One of its most captivating attractions is the Baloue Balaa or Baatara Gorge Waterfall, where a stunning waterfall flows through a vast sinkhole. The best time to witness the full majesty of this breathtaking sight is during the spring season, when the surrounding mountains’ melting snow gives the waterfall even more power and splendor. 🎥 @h_lens137 📍Lebanon 🇱🇧

Gunkanjima Island - Nagasaki, Japan. Once the most densely populated place in the world, this island is now a ghost town. FEW PLACES IN THE WORLD have a history as odd, or as poignant as Gunkanjima’s. The tiny, fortress-like island lies just off the coast of Nagasaki. The island is ringed by a seawall, covered in tightly packed buildings, and entirely abandoned - a ghost town that has been completely uninhabited for more than forty years. In the early 1900s, Gunkanjima was developed by the Mitsubishi Corporation, which believed - correctly - that the island was sitting on a rich submarine coal deposit. For almost the next hundred years, the mine grew deeper and longer, stretching out under the seabed to harvest the coal that was powering Japan’s industrial expansion. By 1941, the island, less than one square kilometer in area, was producing 400,000 tonnes of coal per year. And many of those working slavishly in the undersea mine were forced laborers from Korea. Even more remarkable than the mine was the city that had grown up around it. To accommodate the miners, ten-story apartment complexes were built up on the tiny rock - a high-rise maze linked together by courtyards, corridors, and stairs. There were schools, restaurants, and gaming houses, all encircled by the protective seawall. The island became known as “Midori nashi Shima,” the island without green. Amazingly, by the mid-1950s, it housed almost six thousand people, giving it the highest population density the world has ever known. And then the coal ran out. Mitsubishi closed the mine, everyone left, and this island city was abandoned, left to revert back to nature. The apartments began to crumble, and for the first time, in the barren courtyards, green things started to grow. Broken glass and old newspapers blew over the streets. The sea-breeze whistled through the windows. Now, fifty years later, the island is exactly as it was just after Mitsubishi left. A ghost town in the middle of the sea.
