This Street Art Will Crack You Up
THIS STREET ART WILL CRACK YOU UP
This dramatic piece of art will CRACK you up.
Artist Edgar Mueller has created a huge work of 3D street art call The Crevasse.
It took the German master of optical illusions five days to paint the giant fissure in Dun Laoghaire, Ireland.
He worked from sunrise to sunset to make the 250 square metre image which appears to show a fault in the earth's crust.
Created for the town's "Festival of World Culture" last year, Muller's jaw-dropping art involved clever planning so that when the picture is viewed from a certain angle it looks totally three-dimensional.
And locals wasted no time having fun with the work by pretending to teeter precariously on the edge of the deep hole.
Edgar explains: "3D street painting itself is a very new artform which only a handful of people do worldwide. Its nature is to trick people's eyes and show them a new 'reality'.
"The technique itself is called anamorphism and has been known since the Middle Ages. It was used by famous painters like Michelangelo, da Vinci and others in their murals."
Edgar's previous works include sharks jumping out of pavements, raging waterfalls on city roads and a German street collapsing into a lava pool.

HERRWARTH VOIGTMANN, SHARK FEEDING, BANDOS ISLAND, NORTH MALE ATOLLL, MALDIVES
The diving-instructor Herrwarth Voigtmann has no fear of sharks; since those found in Maldive waters are quite harmless. For many years it was the fashion to lure the sharks with food, and provide the holidaymakers with a spectacular underwater circus. As a result, the creatures lost their natural predatory instincts and begged to be fed. To protect the sharks these shows have now been stopped. (FOTO: DUKAS/MICHAEL FRIEDEL)

SHARK FEEDING, LONG ISLAND, BAHAMAS
More and more diving-schools offer underwater attractions - with photos guaranteed. Stella Maris on Long Island: two or three times a week the sharks are fed in the open sea. For years this has been a favourite thrill for paying tourists. People who play safe at home or at work, risk their lives when on holiday. (FOTO: DUKAS/MICHAEL FRIEDEL)

SHARK FEEDING, GRAND BAHAMA, BAHAMAS
Every day at lunchtime the UNEXSO offers people the chance to take part in the great shark feed. On a sandbank off Grand Bahama island, divers can film and photograph these noble creatures at a depth of about 15 m. The staff feed mackerel to the sharks by hand. After being fed, the sharks swim away over the heads of the divers, enabling them to get close-up shots. More and more diving-schools offer underwater attractions - with photos guaranteed.

VET OPERATES ON SHARK TO REMOVE FISH HOOK LODGED IN JAW
A 6ft long shark has received emergency lifesaving surgery to remove a rusty hook from its mouth.
Nurse shark Florence underwent the procedure at the Weymouth Sealife centre in Dorset.
Vet Nick Masters carefully removed the offending fish hook from Florence's jaw during a 45 minute operation.
Operating on a shark out of water is extremely uncommon and the procedure on Florence was the first time it has happened in this country.
For the task Florence was first anaesthetised and tubes were fed into her mouth to let seawater pump out through her gills.
Anaesthetising sharks can be something of a hit and miss affair, making it a potentially dangerous situation for Nick.
With his hands between her jaws, he would have found himself in trouble if Florence had suddenly woken up.
However, the operation proved to be a success and Nick was able to remove the inch long rusty hook.
The hook was first discovered buried in Florence's jaw when staff at the sealife centre noticed that she had gone off her food.
An ultrasound quickly highlighted the reason behind her loss of appetite.
Florence is now eating well again and will spend some time recovering before moving to her new permanent home at the Sea Life Centre in Birmingham
