Moses Bridge Astonishingly Splits Water

moses-bridge-astonishingly-splits-water-09

Ever wonder what it felt like to follow Moses? Well, though it’s not the Red Sea, the Moses Bridge, located in the Netherlands, is quite the sight to see. Appropriately titled, the bridge gives visitors a truly unique experience when visiting a close 17th century fort. Designed by architecture group RO & AD, the bridge is constructed out of Accoya wood, a high technology wood that is supposedly harder and more durable than some of the best tropical woods. It is treated with a nontoxic anti-fungal coating.

From a distance, the Moses Bridge appears to vanish, allowing the viewer to see the flow of the moat uninterrupted. As one approaches though, the sunken bridge becomes apparent. It splits the waters allowing for a unique walk to the historic sight across the way. This bridge would be very cool to experience firsthand, though I think I would be just a little bit nervous when crossing the moat.

Weird Voodoo-Like Dolls Art

creepy-doll-10

Dolls are perceived as harmless, and they can be gorgeous and/or adorable, but there’s still something scary about dolls. It’s probably because many of them fit squarely in Uncanny Valley territory. The blank gaze and unmoving stare reminds us too much viscerally of corpses, perhaps. This goes even more when the doll is damaged in some way, such as missing limbs or eyes, or having holes in its head.

In horror, dolls are often used as part of the scenery to help establish the mood, even providing a theme for The Doll Episode. They may even be the antagonist or be used by the antagonist. Despite how ridiculous a doll trying to kill people should be, it’s still seen as quite frightening. A similar idea lies behind the Demonic Dummy and Scary Scarecrows.
