Germany Has An Impressive Subway System [9 Photos]
Below the streets of Munich, Germany, photographer Nick Frank silently stalks the city’s subway stations, waiting for the perfect silent moment. When the passengers have departed and the trains are rumbling elsewhere, Frank captures the empty stations in artful compositions. Some are balanced in perfect symmetry, others twist and disappear in the distance. All of Franks works show a strong contrast of color accents, where bright, basic colors stand out amongst the quiet, neutral darkness beyond. These are truly evocative images, a form of art that today’s urbanophile will certainly appreciate. Dig this sort of thing as much as we do? Don’t miss Coolist.com’s feature article “Unreal Underground: the World’s 10 Coolest Subway Systems“.

10 Terrifying Countries Every Man Must Visit
“I can’t decide where to take my next vacation!” Is there a more pressing First World problem? Fortunately for the lazy tourist, millions before him have already carved out well-trodden paths around the more famous destinations — India, Thailand, Croatia and so on — and getting a dose of foreign culture is as easy as catching a cab to the airport.
These destinations are interesting to be sure, but if one wants to travel the road less taken, it usually means turning to countries with less than stellar reputations. War-torn countries, nations with a history of political problems and those beset by natural disasters are, more often than not, places where you’ll find diamonds in the rough. Oftentimes these countries feature just as many of the attractions as the tourism superstars, but with sparser crowds and more of an edge. And, yes, often it’s only a matter of time before these insider destinations join ranks with the package-tour itinerary stops.
So ignore the disaster journalism that characterizes these 10 countries as places to avoid. Sensational reporting by its nature never makes mention of the generous people living regular lives at the edges of the big story. Amazing and unique sights and experiences that are conspicuously absent from the timetable tours of more tourist-friendly countries await the intrepid traveler. Besides, no one knows what destination will be tourism’s Next Big Thing, but chances are it will be one of the places on this list. Now’s the time to go.

You Want To Go Here
It’s a big beautiful world out there. When you’re not wasting your money on booze, apps and netflix, try saving up for a trip of a lifetime to any one of these marvels of earth. Yeah, the Grand Canyon is a nice sight, and yes, the new Hogwarts wing of that amusement park is pretty cool, but it’s time to get out there and see the world the way it meant to be seen… before Al Gore takes it away from us.
