Castles Across Europe, Reconstructed 

The built landscape of Europe has been sculpted by thousands of years of war and reconciliation. Kings and Queens, Vikings and Romans, Christians and Moors, all have built castles and forts with the strength of their workers’ hands. But over the centuries, many of these magnificent castles have fallen into ruin. Some were abandoned after suffering war damage, while others just fell out of use.

Here are some of the most unique ruined castles of Europe and, working with designers and architects, a series of architectural renders and reconstruction animations that bring them back to their former glory.

This is almost funny. America is considering a bailout for airlines, but not for the people who the airlines depend on to fly the airlines. It’s the equivalent of calling a mechanic (instead of a doctor) in response to someone having a heart attack in a car. Bass ackwards.

Imma let them in on a secret: broke people don’t spend money on airline tickets. And a lot of people are about to be pinching their pennies due to an economic slow down. For just once, American politicians need to focus on Main Street, not Wall Street. Everyone else seems to have figured this out. It’s not that hard. #CapitalismKills

Damn. America really is a shithole country.
