"The Dark Side of the Moon".

Money
Get away
You get a good job with more pay and you're okay
Money
It's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star, daydream
Think I'll buy me a football team

The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade,
you make the change
You rearrange me 'til I'm sane

You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head
but it's not me

Us and them.
And after all we're only ordinary men.

The Great Gig In The Sky

And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon

Time #PinkFloyd

Places on Earth that look surreal 🧵

1. There's a spot in Iceland where green fields, a golden river, a black beach and the sea meet 📸 sebastianmzh
2. No, this is not a piece of abstract art — you're looking at the stunning Honghe Hani Rice Terraces in Yuanyang County, Yunnan, China.

These 1,200-year-old rice-growing terraces cover 1,000,000 acres across four counties. Image
3. Richat Structure, Mauritania

From space, this site resembles a giant bullseye, earning it the nickname "Eye of the Sahara."

Its shape has fueled speculation, with some linking it to the lost city of Atlantis, described by Plato as a city of concentric rings of land & water. Image

Thread on the largest amphitheater on Earth

1. The Italian Cinema Orchestra playing the Gladiator soundtrack inside the Colosseum at sunset
2. Named the "Flavian Amphitheatre" (Latin: Amphitheatrum Flavium; Italian: Anfiteatro Flavio) by later scholars after the three Flavian emperors who funded its construction, it is the largest ancient amphitheater ever built and the largest still in existence. Image
3. Emperor Vespasian began the construction of the Colosseum in 72 AD, with the amphitheater being finished in 80 AD under the rule of his heir, Titus.

It had a seating capacity of approximately 50,000 to 80,000 people at various points in its history. Image

Thread of beautiful sculptures you (probably) didn't know existed 🧵

1. The statue of Poseidon, Gran Canaria Image
2. Wales was home to a tree that had lived for 124 years and reached an impressive height of 63.7 meters (209 feet). After being damaged in a storm it had to be felled.

Artist Simon O'Rourke transformed the remnants into a hand sculpture as a tribute, a final reach for the sky. Image
3. Ocean Atlas

At 18 feet tall and 60 tonnes, Ocean Atlas is the world's largest underwater sculpture. Created by Jason Taylor and inspired by the Greek myth of Atlas, it depicts a Bahamian girl carrying the ocean's weight. Image
