salveo: “Man on Wire” Philippe Petit crossing on a tight rope between the Twin Towers, NYC 1974.
These wonderfully playful photos are part of Chinese photographer Zhao Huasen’s Floating series. While you’re checking out his photoshop skillz, we’re wondering when the rest of us will obtain access to awesome invisible bikes of our own.

We’re always up for a swing. Would anyone else like to go play? The view from these swings looks spectacular.
Didier Fiuza Faustino created this awesome billboard swing for an installation entitled Double Happiness. This “urban reanimation device” was created for the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Bi-City Biennial of Urbanism and Architecture in 2009.
“Double Happiness responds to the society of materialism where individual desires seem to be prevailing over all. This nomad piece of urban furniture allows the reactivation of different public spaces and enables inhabitants to reappropriate fragments of their city. They will both escape and dominate public space through a game of equilibrium and desequilibrium. By playing this “risky” game, and testing their own limits, two persons can experience together a new perception of space and recover an awareness of the physical world.”

There’s nothing like the awe of a child encountering a new life form, but in this fantastic shot by Christopher of CMGW Photography, entitled “First Contact”, it looks like the feeling radiating from this enormous old manatee might be mutual.
What an awesome shot. We can’t stop smiling.
