The real crystal palace: Inside one of the most beautiful caves in the world
With crystal lined walls glittering deep beneath the earth's surface, these mesmerising scenes are taken from inside what could well be the world's most beautiful cave.
The Mlynki is a rare crystal cave which lies in the Ternopil region of Ukraine and is known for the multi-coloured gypsum crystals which adorn its walls and twinkle in the light.
These are the awesome images taken by intrepid photographer Oleg Grigorev who ventured into the remote cave to capture its beauty on camera.

जब तोप गरजती है, तो 50 गांव खोलते हैं रोजा
भोपाल/रायसेन। देश में यह अपनी तरह की अनूठी परंपरा है। रायसेन जिला मुख्यालय पर रमजान के पवित्र महीने में तोप की गर्जना के साथ सभी मुसलमान सहरी और रोजा इफ्तार करते हैं।
नवाबों के शासनकाल में रायसेन में रमजान महीने में तोप की गर्जना के साथ सहरी और रोजा इफ्तार की परंपरा शुरू हुई थी, जो आज भी कायम है। कलेक्टर द्वारा हर साल रमजान के महीने में तोपे चलाने और उसके लिए बारूद खरीदने कि लिखित अनुमति मुस्लिम त्यौहार कमेटी को निर्धारित समय के लिए प्रदान की जाती है।
रायसेन जिला मुख्यालय में ऐतिहासिक किले की पहाड़ी पर एक फिक्स्ड जगह है, जहां रमजान महीना शुरू होने के एक दिन पहले प्रशासन की अभिरक्षा में रखी तोप को मुस्लिम त्यौहार कमेटी के सदस्य लेकर जाते हैं। इसे चलाने के लिए प्रशिक्षित तोपची को ही नियुक्त किया जाता है।
रायसेन संभवत: देश का एकमात्र ऐसा शहर है, जहां रमजान महीने में रोजा इफ्तार और सहरी का संकेत, तोप चलाकर दिया जाता है। इसमें सबसे दिलचस्प बात यह है कि तोप कि गर्जना सुनकर आसपास के लगभग 50 गांव के लोग रोजा खोलते हैं।
What Colors Mean In Different Cultures
Ah colors. Though it’s only reflected light emitting different frequencies of the photon wave spectrum, colors are often much more than just that. For many they can describe emotions, nations, ideas, or even memories. In the art world, color can be a crucial element in the expression of a painter (Rothko) But just like many other cultural discrepancies, the meaning of color tends to change as you move around the globe. This infographic aims to tackle the very subject of how we associate colors with various feelings and ideas of different cultures around the world.
Dividing into 10 subgroups – Western/American, Japanese, Hindu, Native American, Chinese, Asian, Eastern European, Muslim, African, and South American, these broad regions are divided on this circular graph to show how each culture would choose to represent a facet of emotion or idea by color. Some are unanimous – Red for passion, black as evil – while others are completely different – Respect ranges from grey to white to silver to gold depending on which region of the world you are from. Of course it cannot be denied that color is a subjective device and there are many subcultures that probably dispute their assigned colors; it must be said – colors do have meaning. For whatever reason, humans desire to represent themselves by color and commonly create manifestations of daily life within these colors. Except the color-blind. I don’t know what the hell they think about any of this. via
