A picture dated 01 August 2008 shows builders working on an upside-down house in Trassenheideon on the island of Usedom, Germany. A company from Poland want to complete the family house by the end of August.  All furniture is to be installed upside-down. The house will be used for exhibitions and the surrounding area should display other architectural oddities. About 400,000 Euros have been invested in the project 'Die Welt steht Kopf' (The World on its Head).  EPA/STEFAN SAUER

The art academy, the baroque Church of our Lady, the Staendehaus, the castle tower and the cathedral (L-R) turned golden by the rising sun in Dresden, Germany, 04 August 2008. The outline of the buildings are clearly mirrored in the low waters of the river Elbe. The water level of the river has reached 76cm, a third of the normal level.  EPA/MATTHIAS HIEKEL
