Fujian Fortified Manors - China

An aerial drone photo taken on May 21, 2025 shows a Tulou among mountains in Longyan, southeast China's Fujian Province. Fujian Tulou, the unique residential architecture of Fujian Province constructed between the 15th and 20th centuries, was inscribed on the UNESCO's World Heritage List in 2008. Set amongst rice, tea and tobacco fields, Tulou is earthen house. Several storeys high, it was built along an inward-looking, circular or square floor plan as housing for up to 800 people each. Tulou was built for defence purposes around a central open courtyard with only one entrance and windows to the outside only above the first floor. Housing a whole clan, Tulou functioned as village units and was known as "a little kingdom for the family" or "bustling small city." Photo by Wang Zecong/Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM

China: Localized Storm Splits Street in Half With Rain on One Side, Dry on the Other

This is the striking moment that a sudden localized storm turned one street into two distinct weathers, one side was drenched by heavy rain, while the other side remained completely dry. On June 12, 2025, in Shanxi, Taiyuan, the video captured one half of a street was swept by torrential rain, while the opposite side stayed untouched. The pedestrians and quick-moving cars seeking shelter on the rainy side, umbrellas opened hastily. The juxtaposition was startling, raindrops visibly stopped at an invisible boundary, creating two contrasting microclimates within mere meters of each other. The video ended with the camera panning across the street, capturing the stark contrast one last time before the rain slowly faded away.

Behind The Scenes Of The Vatican

New recruit of the Swiss Guards before the swearing-in ceremony on May 6, 2005 at the Vatican. The ceremony is held each May 6 to commemorate the 147 Swiss Guards who died protecting Pope Clement VII during the 1527 Sack of Rome. The pompous title 'defenders of the freedom of the Church' qualifies the Swiss Guards, of which there are one hundred. These soldiers are not nearly as picturesque as their uniforms, which are said to have been designed by either Raphael or Michaelangelo, but whose design was actually produced at the turn of the last century. It is not a simple procedure to become a member of the Guard, which is one of the world's oldest military factions. One must have Swiss nationality, be of the Catholic faith, measure over 1.74 meters in height, and be less than 25 years of age when signing on for the first time.
