    Deer runs off after being hit by a Police cruiser, Kenton County, Kentucky, America - 01 Dec 2015

    A deer is pictured being struck by a police car - before getting up and running off.

    VIDEO: https://vimeo.com/147697208

    The amazing incident was captured on dashboard camera by an officer with Kentucky's Kenton County Police Department.

    A police statement reported: "Over the weekend, Officer Pittaluga encountered a large deer while driving on Decoursey Pike through Visalia. The encounter was less than cordial and ended as abruptly as it began.

    "We think this video is a pretty good training video on how to react when a four-legged furry friend attempts to abruptly cross your path. Officer Pittaluga applied his brakes and steered away from the deer in a controlled manner.

    Brachiosaurus squeezing through a door
    Man teaches daughter photography by creating quirky scenes with her dinosaur toys, Halifax, Canada - 27 Nov 2015
    FULL COPY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/rmov

    A man teaches his daughter photography by making quirky scenes with her dinosaur toys.

    Jeff Friesen, 44, of Halifax, Canada, comes up with ideas for funny shoots with nine-year-old June.

    The results include a T-Rex on a BMX, a Ddilophosaurus on a skateboard, a Velociraptor in an office and a T-Rex family decorating a Christmas tree.

    He explains: "I teach my daughter photography by using her various toys to create dioramas that we take pictures of. In this case, an unlikely mix of plastic dinosaurs and dollhouse furniture create fiercely domestic situations.

    "Each scene takes about a day to create and photograph, with a lot of trial and error. The main goal is getting a laugh.

    "My daughter loves the resulting dinosaur photos. She comes up with some really abstract ideas for scenes, and I add my own "adult" ideas, such as the homages to Frank Lloyd Wright and Van Gogh."

    A photographer has captured a series of stunning photos of the Peruvian landscape.

    Photographer Brian Flaherty created the Notes from Peru photo series to document his journey across the southern Peruvian landscape, from the rugged extremes of the Andes to the vast expanse of desert at the Pacific.

    Brian, who is from San Francisco, said: "Throughout the journey I was struck by both the deep history and character of the land and the inhabitants who weather its elements with grace, fortitude and a posture of humility.

    "This series of photos provides a small glimpse of the strength of this land and its people."

    Hallway through to Micro Kitchen
    A Peek Inside Google's London Headquarters
    It features a secret garden, 'Granny flat' interiors and an allotment - welcome to Google's new London headquarters.

    The 160,000 sq ft hub features cutting-edge design that offers a quirky take on the traditional office.

    Occupying half of the ultra-modern Central Saint Giles development in Covent Garden over five floors, renowned interior designers PENSON were given the task of creating a vibrant workspace.

    The result is amazing variation of work and lounging space which finds room for 1,250 non-traditional desks.

    A space called Granny's Flat is furnished with chintzy chairs and fittings that wouldn't look out of place in an elderly relative's lounge, while the Lala Library hosts a giant semi-circle white sofa adorned with pillows and surrounded by arty and inspirational books.

    Surreal workspaces have tongue-in-cheek names such as the Velourmptious snug, a green, padded homage to the traditional British pub, and Snug-lushness, a garish flower-print padded bench seat.

    An area dubbed the Town Hall allows seating for 200 people and features velvet curtains, exposed ceilings and a video wall, while the Market Square is a rustic cafeteria area.

    For active staff members there is a gym and dance studio, a 'bikedry' for cycling gear storage and a shower block for those sweaty from the morning workout, cycle or commute.

    For those really wanting to escape the office, a 'Hedge Your Bets' secret garden on the roof terrace affords stunning views of London surrounded by grass and foliage - all with wi-fi connection for laptop work.

    Eco considerations are at the forefront of design with a high content of reclaimed or recycled materials employed and the use of water-based products and timber floor boards with ...

    Pellet fired through shampoo bottle
    Impressive Shots: Alan Sailer's High Speed Photography
    What an impressive shot!

    Alan Sailer creates amazing images of everyday items being hit by projectiles.

    Using high-speed photography, he can capture in stunning detail the moment items such as marbles and pellets pass through objects.

    The jaw-dropping results include a pellet shredding three cigarettes, a marble destroying an ice cream cone and the shooting of stacks of staples.

    Other targeted highlights include cans of drink, ice lollies, a cherry pie and a tub of cream cheese.

    Based in Camarillo, California, the 56-year-old is a microwave engineer by day, but pursues his hobby in his garage in the evening.

    Getting the shots is all in the timing. Alan opens the shutter on his camera on a one second exposure with one hand, while firing the rifle or air cannon with the other. A powerful flash is triggered when the projectile passes through a laser beam.

    His set-up allows him the option to not only fire pellets and marbles at 500ft per second, but items such as Christmas ornaments filled with coloured gelatine.

    Alan began his hobby after building his own 20,000 volt microsecond flash in 2008. He was encouraged when an image he took of a pellet being split by a razor blade caused a stir online.

    "I was very surprised at the reaction to the razor blade splitting the pellet shot. It has had over 270,000 views and made me a little famous. The shot scared me, I didn't know if pieces of razor blade would come flying out."

    Contrary to the destructive nature of his work, Alan isn't a fan of firearms.

    He explains: "Bye the bye, I don't like guns as some people seem to think from the photos. It just that the only way to get great high speed photos is to photograph something going at high speed.

    Impressive Shots: Alan Sailer's High Speed Photography
    What an impressive shot!

    Alan Sailer creates amazing images of everyday items being hit by projectiles.

    Using high-speed photography, he can capture in stunning detail the moment items such as marbles and pellets pass through objects.

    The jaw-dropping results include a pellet shredding three cigarettes, a marble destroying an ice cream cone and the shooting of stacks of staples.

    Other targeted highlights include cans of drink, ice lollies, a cherry pie and a tub of cream cheese.

    Based in Camarillo, California, the 56-year-old is a microwave engineer by day, but pursues his hobby in his garage in the evening.

    Getting the shots is all in the timing. Alan opens the shutter on his camera on a one second exposure with one hand, while firing the rifle or air cannon with the other. A powerful flash is triggered when the projectile passes through a laser beam.

    His set-up allows him the option to not only fire pellets and marbles at 500ft per second, but items such as Christmas ornaments filled with coloured gelatine.

    Alan began his hobby after building his own 20,000 volt microsecond flash in 2008. He was encouraged when an image he took of a pellet being split by a razor blade caused a stir online.

    Surf's Up For Daredevil Photographer
    A daredevil photographer has gone to extraordinary lengths to take pictures inside waves.

    Ray Collins' breathtaking shots reveal the giant rollers in all their glory.

    The 28-year-old takes incredible risks to get the perfect picture of the walls of water as they hurtle towards the shore.

    Armed with a camera, protected with a special waterproofing casing, he and his surfer friends take on waves as high as 15 feet.

    They are towed in to the wave with a jet ski and then have to quickly get in to position to capture it as it starts to break.

    One incredible picture shows Ray's friend Eddie Blackwell as he surfs through an enormous tunnel of water near Sydney, Australia.

    Another shows the photographer dwarfed by a huge wave near his home in Woolagong

    Ray said: "You need the wave to be perfect and your positioning to be perfect for it to work.

    "It can be pretty dangerous, I've been hit on the head a few times with my camera and it's not a nice feeling when you're underwater, getting thrashed about.

    "It can take a lot of beatings and steep learning curves before you start to see results but I hope my pictures are worth it in the end.

    "The reaction has been really positive. The shots gives people who don't surf a chance to see what we see."

    Ray said he had been fascinated with the sea from an early age but started focusing on his photography after an accident while working in a coal mine.

    He explained: "I've grown up in and around the ocean my whole life and always had an interest in photography but the turning point was when I was injured in a coal mine.

    "I had a workplace accident and injured my knee pretty badly and I couldn't walk or do much else.

    "I had a lot of downtime so I bought a camera, read the manual every day, st...

    Royal Wedding: Buckingham Palace Preparations
    With just a matter of weeks to go preparations for the marriage of Prince William to Catherine Middleton are well underway.

    Staff at Buckingham Palace are already getting ready for the reception that will take place after the nuptials on 29 April.

    On the big day the Palace's state rooms will play host to an afternoon reception after the ceremony at Westminster Abbey.

    This will be followed in the evening by a more intimate dinner and dance for 300 friends of the royal couple.

    The action will take place in the Palace's west wing with the white drawing room, the music room, the blue drawing room and the state dining room all being utilised.

    Meanwhile, the official multi-tiered wedding cake is expected to be on display in the nearby picture gallery.

    In order to have the palace looking its best for the events staff are working hard to display it at its finest.

    For example, the palace's greatest art will be on display, with masterpieces by the likes of Canaletto, Rembrandt and Rubens.

    According to Edward Griffiths, Deputy Master of the Household, palace staff are used to hosting big events and cater to roughly 50,000 guests a year.

    He said 60 people will be working at the afternoon reception, doing everything from opening car doors for guests to serving them canapes and drinks.

    Meanwhile, guests will also sit down to a feast prepared by the Palace kitchens.

    Head chef Mark Flanagan and his 21-strong team will be responsible for catering to the 600 people invited to the afternoon reception.

    Details about the food selection and the wine list are being kept a secret but it is said that the food will show off "the best of British produce."

    Wipeout: From Rad To Bad
    These dramatic photographs capture the moment the world's best surfers are caught out by some of the world's biggest waves.

    The extraordinary images reveal the sport's most dangerous moments - when surfers push the limit too far and are thrown from 30 foot high breakers.

    Photographer Brian Bielmann travels to the world's most exotic beaches snapping the moments when surfers crash - known as wiping out.

    The 53-year-old New Yorker, who settled in Hawaii, has spent more than 30 years tackling the world's roughest surf, camera in hand.

    Brian used to surf himself but had to give up the sport as a 21-year-old following a near death experience when he was hurled against a reef after a 'crash'.

    Since then he has visited far flung corners of the earth to photograph the sport's elite, searching for the perfect wave and the perfect wipeout.

    He said: "It's funny; I get really excited when I shoot a really good wipeout.

    "But then afterwards there is a real moment of guilt when I realise I was more concerned about getting a great image.

    "Usually, the guys are ok and I heave a huge sigh of relief. Afterwards, they love to see the shots of themselves wiping out, the bigger the better."

    Brian's most dramatic wipeout shot was taken at the Eddie Aikau Quiksilver contest in Hawaii.

    It shows his friend 'Flea' taking a massive tumble while trying to ride a huge wave.

    He said: "Flea was really going for it, as there was fifty thousand dollars prize money on offer!

    "It was the worst wipeout I had seen in 30 years".

    Brian uses specialist underwater housing for his cameras when bobbing about in the strong currents.

    "Some of my shots are taken while I'm trying to survive these huge waves myself," he said.

    "You have to keep your wits about you at a...

    The stylists of these dreadfully dressed divas were obviously not around when they stepped out of the front door.

    If they had they surely would have uttered that immortal line: "You're not going out like that!"

    When left unattended there's no end of fashion faux pas a star can commit when looking for a 'stand out from the crowd' outfit.

    But then looking fabulous 24/7 is something not even the most dedicated of A-listers can achieve.

    And navigating the tricky minefield of fashion can be tricky at the best of times and pure style suicide at the worst.

    Your 'unusual' outfit can just as easily be feted on every best dressed list as see you plunging to the bottom of the reject pile.

    All of which goes to show that not even the hottest stars are immune to the odd fashion disaster.

    'Love Happens' film premiere, Los Angeles, America - 15 Sep 2009
    Jennifer Aniston continued her march towards becoming the Queen of Hollywood romantic movies as she attended the premiere of her latest movie, 'Love Happens' with co-lead Aaron Eckhart and their co-stars.

    Her latest release, 'Love Happens', brings her together on-screen with veteran actor Aaron Eckhart, playing his first major romantic lead, in a film about a widowed man learning to love again.

    Rather than her more typical 'rom-com' material, Aniston is quick to point out the darker, more serious aspects to her new movie, claiming it to be less "light and fluffy" than the usual fare.

    However, headlines surrounding 'Love Happens' have been centred on the production of the film being subject to legal wrangling, with press reports stating that two screenwriters have a filed a lawsuit against the producers, who they claim stole their idea for the script.

    Other guests on the red carpet included director Brandon Camp, Dan Fogler, Malin Akerman and Sasha Alexander.

    A photographer captured a series of images of two hyenas chasing flamingos in Lake Nakuru, Kenya.

    In the pictures, the hyenas can be seen stalking, and catching, their prey.

    Lake Nakuru is home to millions of flamingos, however in recent months the bird-population has sadly been under threat, due to contamintated water.

    The pictures, taken by British photographer Elliott Neep, were taken a few years ago and have captured the Lake at a time before the flamingos population was threatened.

    Photographer Elliott Neep, 41, said: "Just a few hundred metres away, I could see a pair of hyenas ambling towards us. They scampered about on the beach, chasing and tap-tackling. Was it a ploy? Did this behaviour lull the birds into a false sense of security? The hyenas continued to approach and subtly veered towards the water's edge.
