They say a lot of artistic expression is motivated by self-loathing. But not for these folks! Long before the Material Girl ordered papa to stop preaching, these six puffed-up virtuosos knew darn well how to strike a pose.

If you are a fan of Wallace and Gromit, the lovable duo inventor and his canine fixer, then you might want to pack your bags and head to the city of Bristol in the south west of England.

A heavy cloud envelopes the city. Only the dim outline of towers can be seen through the fog. Roads seem to snake away eerily into nothingness. It looks rather like an alien mist from a horror movie, but sadly, this isn’t fiction. People who venture outside take proper precautions, because this is toxic smog – known in the region as “the haze.” Attributed to Indonesian forest fires, the almost yearly phenomenon brings with it a slew of environmental woes.

The South Korean capital of Seoul is a mega city with over ten million inhabitants. As such, space for infrastructure is at a premium so when the city needed a new bridge over the river Han in the early 1980s there was a simple solution offered by architects: build it on top of the existing bridge and make it a double decker. The citizens of Seoul Special City (to give the metropolis its full name) loved the bridge so much that six years ago they added the longest bridge fountain in the world.
