    Artist Martin Ron created a huge graffiti on a water tower depicting a girl and a boy – on either side of the structure – enjoying a swim in the Argentinian city of Miramar.

    According to Martin Ron, he is using the photos of the real children in the hyperrealism technique that ‘has real imprint so that when we see it gives us that 3D illusion’.

    Flames engulfed the 2024 Paris Olympics aquatic training center Friday as rioters protesting the death of a teenager at the hands of police carried into a third night.

    The intense blaze appeared to overwhelm the still-under-construction pool, sending thick black plumes into the sky in Saint-Denis, roughly four miles north of Paris, video shows.

    Though it appeared heavy, the fire mainly affected a nearby bus depot — where it gutted 12 buses.

    “Buses parked near the Aubervilliers Aquatic Centre construction site were set on fire,” said SOLIDEO, which builds infrastructure for the Olympics. “The facade of the building suffered very slight damage as a result.”
