Rescorla called his wife, telling her, "Stop crying. I have to get these people out safely. If something should happen to me, I want you to know I've never been happier. You made my life."

Once the cod capital of the Arctic, Vardø, population 1,875, perches like a fish-scented mirage on the edge of the Arctic Circle in Finnmark, Norway’s northernmost county. While the Visit Vardø website makes the town look like Williamsburg with puffins and Aurora Borealis, it isn’t. There are only four ways to Vardø — none are good
...
Today’s Vardø may be trying to reinvent itself as a tourist attraction (bird-watching is its other big draw), but three centuries ago, it was the beating, psychotic heart of a major witch panic. Co-designed by Swiss architect Peter Zumthor and French-American artist Louise Bourgeois, the Steilneset Memorial honors the 91 people who died, most burned at the stake, in the witch persecution that started in 1600 and ended in 1692.

it’s pitch-black night for two months straight
...
Louise Bourgeois’ black glass cube, The Damned, The Possessed and The Beloved . . . is starkly alien. Its glass shelter houses a plain metal chair that burns with an eternal flame, and seven looming mirrors reflect the blazing chair, each mirror angled differently, causing a hall-of-mirror refraction. Nothing about Bourgeois’ cube is natural, and placed on that treeless plain, nothing about it looked right.

A photo I took last year of the #WWII (NOB) #monument commemorating fallen fighters located in Bratunac, #Bosnia. Created in 1978 by Petar Krstić, the complex of this #metal memorial #sculpture today sits largely in ruins. @BrutalHouse @Calvert_22 @FuelPublishing pic.twitter.com/AHXOfkKUxx— Spomenik Database (@SpomenikDatabse) August 4, 2018
One of my favorite houses in Baltimore. What a trooper! I feel like this house belongs in some magical children's book. pic.twitter.com/pvQcqEH2Rj— Wilson 🏳️🌈🌹 (@the_sidecarist) August 4, 2018

The Statue of Liberty is one of the most recognizable statues in the world, but soon it'll be dwarfed by the sheer size of India's planned Statue of Unity. The new statue of Sardar Patel, the first home minister of independent India will be the largest in the world — its planned height of 600 feet means it'll be just about twice as tall as the Statue of Liberty. According to AFP, the meta statue will take about four years to complete and cost an estimated $300 million, to be funded through public funds and private donations.
