This Macau landmark contains 98,000 gold leaves and is reportedly worth around $257 million. ✨🌳 Designed as a symbol of prosperity, the massive golden tree is made up of thousands of gold-plated leaves arranged into an intricate sculpture that has become one of the city’s most recognizable attractions. Beyond its striking appearance, it reflects Macau’s reputation for luxury tourism, grand architecture, and spectacular entertainment designed to attract millions of visitors each year.
What looks like a decorative centerpiece is also considered one of the world’s most valuable public displays of gold. Its scale, craftsmanship, and symbolism make it far more than just an art installation—it’s a showcase of engineering, design, and opulence in the heart of Macau.
Released in 1975, Welcome to the Machine became one of Pink Floyd’s most unsettling and thought-provoking songs.
To match its themes of alienation, control, and the music industry’s machinery, animator Gerald Scarfe created a haunting visual world filled with dark mechanical imagery and surreal transformations. Every frame was hand-drawn using traditional animation techniques, requiring thousands of individual drawings to bring the nightmare to life.
The car collection associated with the Sultan of Brunei is widely regarded as the largest private automobile collection ever assembled, with an estimated 7,000 vehicles worth more than US$5 billion. 🚗👑 The collection includes some of the rarest models ever built by brands like Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti, and Aston Martin. Driven one car per day, it would take nearly 19 years to experience every vehicle just once.
Much of the collection was amassed by the Sultan’s brother, Prince Jefri Bolkiah, before financial scandals in the late 1990s led to legal disputes and many of the cars being left in long-term storage. Over the years, reports and photographs have shown that some vehicles have deteriorated in Brunei’s hot, humid climate due to limited use and maintenance. Ironically, the collection helped sustain several luxury automakers during difficult financial periods through massive purchases, making it both one of the greatest acts of automotive patronage in history and a reminder that even the rarest machines are meant to be driven—not simply stored away. 🏎️✨
Deep in the forest, a violet light waited inside a shard of black obsidian, resting on an old stump as if it had been left there for him. He should have walked away. He reached down instead and closed his hand around it. The light did not warm him. It poured in, found the dark places, and made itself at home. His skin split along lines of fire. His spine rose into something new. Bone climbed over his face until only the glow of his eyes was left. The shape that straightened up at the stump wore his clothes and none of his name.
All’ Inferno e Ritorno (To Hell And Back) - Part 12 - Roman legionaries marches into the snowy abyss of Hades, where Hannibal and his undead armies are already waiting for them. I invite you to my creation of Italian rock in a sharp, powerful style. #ancientrome #alternativerock #openart
Halfway between a dream and a civilization that never existed. Vélanor lies somewhere between Moebius and a forgotten dream. A world built on freedom, and the bond between humans and the creatures they chose not to tame. Without a map. Without a destination.
A simple game. A forgotten doll. A reflection that should never have moved.
What begins as a quiet night inside an abandoned house quickly spirals into a nightmare. Shadows stretch where they shouldn't. Mirrors reveal things that aren't there. And the deeper the fear grows, the clearer the truth becomes:
It was never the doll.
This cinematic horror short blends supernatural suspense, haunted reflections, cursed objects, psychological terror, and atmospheric storytelling into a chilling descent where reality and nightmare become impossible to separate.
Watch until the end. Some things are waiting to be seen.
