A New Batch of Something A Little Different


Twice before now, I've compiled some of the best videos and sites friends have sent me.  Here is a new batch which I think you'll enjoy.

The first, "40 Inspiring Workspaces of the Famously Creative," shows everything from a single desk to fully equipped writers' studies and artists' studios.  The contrast between the spartan and the chaotic is fascinating.  (Scroll)  Link 1

(Note:  Alas, Link 2 is no longer available.)


This one is called "15 Unbelievable Paintings That Look Like Photographs."  You would swear they're photos, but they're not.  (Scroll)  Link 3

A Parisienne left Paris at the time of the German occupation, closed up her apartment, and never went back.  Like a time capsule, it was finally opened some 70 years later.  (Scroll)  Link 4

This features the Circus Roncalli in an act featuring a fur coat.  I promise you, you'll take a second look.  (1:02 minute video)  Link 5

How close can a Chinese train get to a vegetable market?  Surely, no closer than this!   (43 second video)  Link 6

Here is a totally charming prize-winner about the ennui of a French feline.  (2:06 minute video)  Link 7

Set in a plaza in Spain, we get some wonderful Beethoven in this "Som Sabadell Surprise."  (5:42 minute video)  Link 8

Finally, here's a slow-mo rendering of an owl in flight, heading toward the camera.  Even the action of the feathers adds to the beauty.   (59 second video.  Skip the ad.)  Link 9

Another workspace ... no, not my own.
