Photos Of The Ruins of Normandy

War is bad and it hurts a lot of people.

People, animals and plants were killed and injured, buildings were destroyed and damaged to rubble and dust.

And it will take a long, long time and lots of money to build up the place again.

The ruins left behind after warfare speak a language of their own.

And no matter where the conflict has taken place, the destruction is very often the same.

All we see are sad pictures of destroyed buildings and twisted, rusting, abandoned vehicles. 

Please look at these pictures, do we want all these to happen to the beautiful places where we live?

Chillout Cafe: Dubai’s First Ice Lounge

There is a nice restaurant made of ice in Dubai called Dubai’s Chillout Cafe, which is the first “ice lounge” in the Middle East.

Even the chairs, tables and curtains in the restaurant are carved from ice.

It is -6 degree celsius in there and before you get in, you must wear thick and fluffy winter jackets.

I do hope that I could visit the restaurant 🙂
