Review: WhereCoolThingsHappen.com

BY AMANDA MARCOTTE

Imagine yourself gazing off into volcanic smoke only to discover a branch of lightning streaming through the thick haze while burning hot lava boils beneath a beautiful sky. They say a picture is worth a thousand words but on WhereCoolThingsHappen.com you’ll find your imagination running aimlessly into another dimension. On this website you’ll find all sorts of photos ranging from nature to unique advertisements. If you’re looking to find a solution to your boredom, this website is certainly for you. Just one click and you’ll be addicted to the breathtaking images for days on end.

The attention grabber on the web page is the bold and highlighted heading, “TOP 20 IMAGES” which mainly features animals, abstracts, and mother nature. The top twenty includes a section called, “20 More Perfectly Timed Photos”. Clicking this link will lead you to jaw-droppingly unbelievable photos taken just at the right moment. One picture displays a black and white undersea image of a great white shark swimming straight up towards duck feet, with only inches separating the shark from the duck as well as the precise timing of the photographer before the shark went onto attack the floating animal. This website never fails to leave me amazed and fully entertained.

Attention all thrill seekers, the category of “COOLOUTDOOR” is the page for you. On here you’ll discover a wide variety of adventures all across the globe. Some of these pictures include insane ski shots and even wake-boarding through cranberries. The level of insanity with these photographs is truly breathtaking and if you have even the slightest curiosity for an adrenaline rush, then these images will have you searching for a plane to jump out that very night. Seeing these photographs of real people doing unreal things is honestly the best way to get your heart racing without even moving a muscle, besides your eyes of course.

Where Cool Things Happen is truly an astonishing and breathtaking website. Although people can compare it to other popular sites such as Tumblr, it is definitely not comparable in my eyes. I would rate this site an overall 9.5 out of 10 for its ability to keep me awake, interested, and constantly coming back for more. I would recommend this site to everybody, including young children. This website is truly a life changer.
