風箏的視線：泰姬陵 |
| Nicholas Chorier, a kite photography expert, is casting new light on famous buildings, such as the Taj Mahal and Udaipur City Palace, the Daily Telegraph reported. The 47-year-old French photographer makes his own kites using siliconized nylon and carbon sticks, and ties his image equipment in a small cradle dangling from the kite. |
法國攝影師尼古拉·肖利葉是“風箏攝影”專家。他的作品用全新的角度展現了泰姬陵和烏代浦宮殿等一些著名建筑。據英國《每日電訊報》報道，這名47歲的攝影師自己用涂硅尼龍和碳纖維桿制作風箏，然后把攝影器材安置在風箏下的一個吊籃里。 |
| Chorier uses a remote control to move the cradle and camera into the best position to take the picture and check the images with a portable TV screen. "From above it's a completely new vision, new perspectives, new ways to understand the landscape and heritage," he said. "Every place has something interesting to show from above." |
肖利葉使用遙控裝置調整吊籃和相機的位置進行拍攝，并用一個便攜式的電視屏幕查看照片。“自上而下能給你一個完全新穎的視野和角度，以及了解風景和文化遺產的新方式，”他說，“鳥瞰任何一處都有奇妙的發現。” |

| A magnet lady |
有磁性的女人 |
| For Brenda Allison, her mysterious power in which metallic objects can stick to her body has long since lost its attraction, the Daily Mail reported.

| When she was a child, she said, her parents stopped buying her watches because her magnetic field kept interfering with the timing mechanism. Her body has set off car alarms, interrupted the TV signal and blown out light bulbs. She says her body can emit a negative or positive charge, depending on the time of the month. |
