    With the Olympic Games mere months away, Louis Smith has given an insight how he gets his day off to a great start, with a remarkable morning routine that includes somersaults, pommel horse practice and the splits!

    The new video released shows how the London 2012 silver medalist starts his day by climbing out of bed and walking down the stairs on his hands. Somersaults onto the sofa, pommel horse practice and press ups on the counter also form part of Louis? unique wake-up performance. In a way that only an Olympic gymnast could, Louis tumbles through the kitchen effortlessly to flick the kettle on with his big toe, and finishes off his incredible morning routine sat in splits, with a hearty bowl of Corn Flakes.

    With the Olympic Games mere months away, Louis Smith has given an insight how he gets his day off to a great start, with a remarkable morning routine that includes somersaults, pommel horse practice and the splits!

    The new video released shows how the London 2012 silver medalist starts his day by climbing out of bed and walking down the stairs on his hands. Somersaults onto the sofa, pommel horse practice and press ups on the counter also form part of Louis? unique wake-up performance. In a way that only an Olympic gymnast could, Louis tumbles through the kitchen effortlessly to flick the kettle on with his big toe, and finishes off his incredible morning routine sat in splits, with a hearty bowl of Corn Flakes.

    FULL WORDS: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/si1b

    A Japanese village has been replacing humans with life-sized dolls after death.

    The doll population in Nagoro, Shikoku Island, now hugely outnumbers people in this isolated mountain village. A 67-year-old woman, Tsukimi Ayano, has spent years weaving more than 350 of these dolls to remember her once-flourishing community.

    The lifeless figures now dwarf the 30 or so residents left in the village.

Unfortunately the cloud cover prevented an explosion of colours at sunset, but visibility remained decent, so no complaining from me. I would have loved to get lower to emphasize the sandstone rocks a little more, but this would have concealed Loch Toll an Lochain.
    Stunning photos of the Scottish Highlands, Britain - 2016
    FULL COPY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/sjo1

    A photographer has released a stunning series of photos that show the raw beauty of the Scottish Highlands.

    Scotland-based photographer Camillo Berenos has spent the past few years travelling though the highlands, capturing breath-taking pictures along the way.

    Camillo said: "Unlike many who undertake such projects, I haven't focused on a single defined geographical area, though the majority of my photographic forays have taken me to the Western and North-Western Highlands.

    "From the vast but also familiar landscapes of Rannoch Moor and Glen Coe, to the relentlessly steep slopes of the hills in Kintail and the rugged and shapely mountain massifs of Torridon and Wester Ross, I have spent many hours in the hills, with specific destinations often primarily being determined by where the weather forecast looked most favourable."

    Animals sculptures made from old plastic cutlery, America - 22 Feb 2010
    ART FANS FORK OUT FOR PLASTIC FANTASTIC SCULPTURES

    Art fans are fork-ing out a staggering GBP 7,800 for these animal sculptures made from old plastic cutlery found in a dustbin.

    The models, which include a dog, eagle and fish, measure from 18 inches to eight feet long and contain up to 500 pieces of junk.

    The largest creatures take nine months to make and sell for thousands of pounds.

    Sayaka Ganz, 33, sorts everything plastic - from sunglasses and cutlery to baskets and cooking utensils - into 20 colour groups in her basement.

    Some of her items are found in dustbins, some in charity shops and the rest are donated by friends and relatives.

    The plastic is then tied onto a wire frame to create the unusual sculptures.

    Sayaka prints photos showing animals from different angles so she can mark the lines of motion she wants to capture in her work.

    She then does a separate sketch with measurements and the shape of the wire frame.

    She said: "Once the frame is built I work very spontaneously, always keeping the photos close at hand but without a precise plan.

    "All I know is the overall form the finished piece should fill."

    Sayaka, from Indiana, United States, was born in Japan but later moved to Brazil and Hong Kong. Her multi-national upbringing has influenced her work.

    She said: "I have been collecting plastic objects for over two years now and I have about 20 bins of colour sorted plastics in my basement.

    "I only use objects that have been used or discarded by someone else.

    "Sometimes I go bin-diving and sometimes I take donations from friends and family.

    "I have always loved all sorts of puzzles, starting with jigsaw puzzles when I was little.

    Canstruction - sculptures made out of cans - Sep 2009
    ARTISTS DEMONSTRATE THEIR CAN-STRUCTION TECHNIQUES

    These amazing sculptures have all been put together using nothing more than the humble tin can.

    Architects spent months designing the spectacular creations ranging from the Titanic, and a dinosaur, to a panda and President Barack Obama.

    And while their subject matters are diverse and different the one thing the sculptures have in common is the fact that they have been made out of thousands of tin cans.

    They were built as part of a design contest run by food charity Canstruction.

    As part of the challenge teams spend up to three months designing their structures on a computer.

    With these designs showing exactly where each can must be placed, the sculptures themselves are constructed in just 12 hours.

    The rule is that each structure must be self-supporting, with quarter of-an-inch sheets of cardboard used as levellers.

    Teams are allowed to use tape, rubber bands and magnets but judges show preference for designs that do not.

    Different cans are selected depending on their size, shape and label colour to fit each piece.

    For example the 121cm wide and 198cm long Titanic sculpture, or TiCANic as it is called, is made from 8,000 cans of tuna and oysters.

    The panda is made from 5,575 cans and the dinosaur from 3,780. The globe weighs 846kg and is made from 7,050 cans.

    Once constructed, the sculptures go on show in the country where the competition was being held.

    Those wishing to view them must donate one tin can of food, which are later distributed to food banks for homeless people.

    Canstruction president Cheri Melillo said: "Teams can spend months planning their structure but are given just 12 hours to defy expectations, logic and gravity".

    Buildings Made from Toothpicks by Stan Munro - 11 Sep 2009
    THE TOOTHPICK LANDMARKS

    A former television presenter has spent six years building famous landmarks - out of six million toothpicks.

    Stan Munro used more than 170 litres of glue as he worked full time on buildings such as Big Ben, Tower Bridge and The Vatican.

    He has also recreated Sydney's Opera House, the Taj Mahal and Cutty Sark in 1:164 scale.

    The married 38-year-old can take anything from one day to six months to make each building.

    The majority of his time goes into research.

    He downloads as many technical drawings and satellite images as possible from the internet and scales the rest himself.

    Stan's buildings are largely hollow, with just a few structural supports - also made from the toothpicks he buys direct from a wholesaler.

    The larger models are made in separate pieces so they can be moved with less hassle.

    Stan continues to work on his models at the Museum of Science and Technology in Syracuse, New York, United States.

    His latest exhibition, called Toothpick City II - Temples and Towers, features more than 40 famous religious and tall buildings from around the world.

    He has been working on it for four years and it is due to be completed in December.

    He has built structures out of toothpicks since his school days when he was asked to build a 6-inch tall structure that could hold an egg.

    His was so strong it could hold his desk.

    He combined his childhood passion of toothpicks with his more adult interest in
    architecture in 2003, following three months of unemployment.

    His first Toothpick City, called History of Skyscrapers, was sold to a museum in Mallorca, Spain. It took two years to build and has 50 buildings.

    Stan said: "Toothpick City was so much fun to build that I dec...

    The Unmissable Sights of Jordan, Middle East
    Jordan, or the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan as it is officially known, is home to some of the Middle East's most spectacular and unmissable sights.

    From dramatic desert landscapes and ruined Roman cities to powerful biblical sites and a wonder of the modern world, Jordan is full of wonders.

    Add to this its ancient culture and a friendly population, not to mention modern, diverse Arab cities, and you have a fantastic destination.

    The country is bordered by Israel and the West Bank to the west, Syria to the north, Iraq to the east and Saudi Arabia to the south.

    It is almost completely land-locked apart from a small outlet on the Red Sea in the Gulf of Aqaba and a frontage on the Dead Sea.

    Amman is the capital and largest city of Jordan and forms a modern bustling metropolis that can also boast to being one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world.

    Originally built on seven hills it now spans an area of nineteen hills as its estimated two million strong population continues to grow at a staggering pace.

    While Amman has a number of sites to interest tourists, such as the largest Roman theatre in Jordan, with room for 6,000 spectators, the city is a perfect base for exploring other parts of the country.

    Umm Qais located on the site of the ruined Hellenistic-Roman city of Gadara, is a frequent destination for day trips from Amman.

    It's popular not only because of its extensive ruins but also due to its position on a high hill and the panoramic views this provides.

    Israel and the Golan Heights, which are claimed by and recognized by Syria but which have been under Israeli administration since the Six-Day War in 1967, can be seen. As can the Sea of Galilee.

    However, it is a different watery attraction that is one of the highlights of any trip ...

    HAVING FUN IN HAVANA

    Electric and unique, Havana is a city like no other - guaranteed to offer the traveller a host of lively and colourful sights and sensations.

    Situated on the north coast of the island of Cuba, Havana is built around a natural harbour and is one of the fourteen provinces of the Republic of Cuba.

    In the 1950s before the Communist revolution Havana was one of the vacation hot-spots of the Caribbean.

    It reopened to tourism in the 1990s and has become a popular destination once again.

    The bustling city offers a wide variety sights, ranging from museums, palaces, public squares, avenues, churches and fortresses.

    Contemporary Havana is effectively three cities in one: Old Havana, Vedado, and the newer suburban districts.

    Old Havana, with its narrow streets and overhanging balconies, is the traditional centre of Havana's commerce, industry, and entertainment.

    To the north and west is the newer section known as Vedado, which has become a rival of Old Havana for commercial activity and nightlife.

    Just breathing in the scents of the city and watching the 1950s Chevy's and Russian Ladas roll down the streets makes for a fantastic day of sightseeing.

    And walking the crumbling streets allows you to explore the magnificent colonial architecture that abounds.

    Key sights in the city include the Museum of the Revolution, which is housed in what was once the Presidential Palace of all Cuban presidents.

    It became a museum during the years following the Cuban revolution and its exhibits are largely devoted to the revolutionary war.

    Behind the building lies the Granma Memorial, a large glass enclosu...
