So what exactly are these participants doing and how do they achieve it.  Well, the idea is that they lie flat on the surface, sometimes on objects that represent a very small surface area that requires exquisite balance and hold their posture in such a way that they achieve that which seems impossible to do.  The planking “effect” is achieved when the participate who is in this compact and uniform posture appears to be suspended in air.  The player or participant will often arrange for their picture to be taken and these images are often shared in various social circles.  The more bizarre and breathtaking the planking maneuver, the greater street “cred”.

It is one of the most interesting things to follow…that is the shape of buildings and how they came to be.  I am not talking about existing structures that have impacted by age or a storm and are now a topic of conversation or popular tourist attraction, such as the Leaning Tower of Pisa.  What is interesting are the architectural wonders out there that command immediate attention due to their unusual or weird looking shape.  Here are some examples and the next time you are out and about and see an interesting building structure, send us over an image so we can post it!
