Architecture & Skyscrapers
| Kuala Lumpur. This city is dominated by Petronas Towers but the rest of KL doesn't captivate unfortunately. It looks like the city has been developing very rapidly but chaotically in its fairly short (30 yrs) history as a capital of Malaysia. The PTs catch the eye all the time as they beautifully shine in the sunlight, palm trees all around, wonderful weather but still it was hard to find the spirit of this city.

Notes from the Road - Travels in City and Country
| Welcome to a world of rough roads, rum, world history, ecology, geography and human nature. Notes from the Road is a project in experimental travel writing - it is about subjective travel; the kind of real world of random things and real people. Notes from the Road looks at a handful of connected regions from the perspective of the outsider looking in. By road, by kayak, by seaplane and most of all on foot, I attempt to tackle the themes of city and country in the modern world. Notes from the Road - Travels in City and Country Very well illustrated, interesting travel reading take your time! |

King Kong Movie & Fan Art Gallery
Die Erwartungen an Peter Jacksons Fantasy-Abenteuer ?King Kong? waren nicht gerade niedrig. Doch der sympathische Neuseeländer enttäuscht sein Publikum nicht und bietet das, was alle erhofft haben. Die ?King Kong?-Neuverfilmung ist bombastisches, pompöses Big-Size-Eventkino. Jackson zelebriert rastlose Action und verbindet packende Spannungselemente mit Dramatik, einer Liebesgeschichte und berührender Tragik. (Quelle: Filmstarts.de) | Vom Film kann man halten, was man will - aber die Website ist der Mega-Hammer - finde ich! |

Fire Walking With the Lava Junkies
For 11 days last August, Colorado-based writer-photographer James Balog got to play with fire on Hawaii's Kilauea, the world's most active volcano.| Getting close to this active flow is still uncommonly easy. "When the lava is flowing fairly close to the end of the Chain of Craters Road," says Balog, "nearly anyone can get there. It's pretty cool." But despite the drive-in accessibility, Balog says the dangers are real. First-degree burns are the least you can expect when you get as close to 2,200°F [1,204°C] lava as Balog and his assistant did. When asked how he quelled his nerves on such a dangerous site, Balog waxed philosophical. "After a long career of being in dangerous situations, you train yourself to be fatalistically calm. I have a basic belief that the fates are looking out for me because they want me to tell the story of these various natural forces." Lucky for us. |
