An interesting illustration, once you’ve wrapped your head around it!
What would the world’s landscape look like if it were concentrated into one megalopolis? This graphic analysis illustrates the amount of land required to accommodate all 6.9 billion people based on the densities of cities across the globe.

Looks like a very interesting shoot…
London-based photographer David Burton really knows how to showcase the beauty of nature. Though the focus for his Botswana series lies in the natural environment, the story is about a woman’s quest for self-discovery and enlightenment. There is beauty to be found in such a pursuit, and Burton went out of his way to captured it in a light and fun way.
A beautiful design, lets hope it drives as good as it looks…
The jaguar C-X16 will be debuted in front of a world audience at the Frankfurt Motor Show starting next week. The project was dubbed the X16 because it is the 16th project that Ian Callum, Jag’s star design director, and his team have worked on. The production concept is also being labeled as the successor to the E-Type that rewrote the manual on what a desirable car should look like over half a century ago.
The new model is expected to do the same for a whole new generation of luxury car lovers and C-X16 is being looked on as Jag’s answer to the Cayman by Porsche with its state-of-the-art hybrid technology and its beautiful blend of performance and exterior beauty.

What an amazing picture…
The robotic Cassini spacecraft now orbiting Saturn drifted in giant planet’s shadow for about 12 hours in 2006 and looked back toward the eclipsed Sun. Cassini saw a view unlike any other. First, the night side of Saturn is seen to be partly lit by light reflected from its own majestic ring system.

I really like Alain Delorme’s ethereal photos of mass transit, Chinese style…
The new Totems series by Alain Delorme plunges us into the core of contemporary China and its complexity. Under the blue sky of a highly colored Shanghai, men carry throughout the city unbelievable piles. These precarious columns made of cardboard or chairs appear as new totems of a society in complete transformation, both a factory for the world and a new El Dorado of the market economy.

The Atlantic are following their fantastic photo journey through the history of World War II…
This pattern of anti-aircraft fire provides a protective screen over Algiers at night. The photo, recording several moments of gunfire, shows a defense thrown up during an axis raid upon Algiers in North Africa on April 13, 1943.
