Using over 200,000 bricks and taking 600 hours to construct, this fantastic cityscape by artist Mike Doyle is packed with detail and little flourishes.

He’s set up a kickstarter to help fund future builds offering prints and DIY sets of some of the buildings as rewards.

There’s plenty more close up shots on his Flickr photostream.

Meanwhile, in India…

Last year, Ultraslo trained a high speed Phantom Mira camera on a wasp nest without really knowing what the inhabitants were doing.

The sequence was shot at 4700 frames per second and played back at 30fps, whereupon it became clear that the wasps were not only carrying water back to the nest but also cooling it with their wingbeats.

Illegally dumped bins on Summerhill Parade, Dublin 1. The council sends a truck to pick them up once a week. How hard could it be to catch these guys? Meanwhile the rest of us eejits have to fork out for collections :/
