Strange and unusual

strange unusual submarine invention








Our photographers sometimes capture moments that are strange and offbeat. Here's a recent sampling.


Tao Xiangli gets out of his homemade submarine after operating it in a lake on the outskirts of Beijing September 3, 2009. Amateur inventor Tao, 34, made a fully functional submarine, which has a periscope, depth control tanks, electric motors, manometer, and two propellers, from old oil barrels and tools which he bought at a second-hand market. He took 2 years to invent and test the submarine which costs 30,000 yuan ($4,385).

What an impressive invention, Katyzzz! Sometimes, we need to sacrifice, if we want to take some good shoots!

A toliet themed restaurant?! What the heck? I liked the ice people sculpture in Berlin. That's pretty fancy.

There is no way I would want to eat there, and the ice sculptures are terrific, Kristin.

amazing!

Lets hope he doesn't have bigger plans, like visiting Sydney Harbour...(just a little bad taste joke).

That was one of my childhood dreams, to own my own sub. Then my father came back from America with his usual photo collage of his latest trip, included in it one time was a photo of His and Hers subs displayed in a huge department store!!!

cheers

Fog, I love your little bad taste jokes, ( well, most of the time), glad you like submarines, u can start building now you know.

Try first with a mini model you can play with in the bath, definitely no hidden meanings.
