If you ever visit Niland, California, a desert town of just over 1,000 people in the southeasternmost corner of the state, you're sure to find Salvation Mountain. The giant, bright relgious tribute is made of over 100,000 gallons of paint and stands 50 feet tall by 150 feet in breadth. Artist Leonard Knight started building the mountain in the 1980s and lived there for 30 years, passing days adding to and caring for his life's work.

Since Knight, now 82, entered into a long-term care facility in late 2011, concern has been raised for the future of the site. Without constant upkeep, the harsh environment can quickly erode the fragile mountain made of clay and paint.

You may have noticed in last week's update that the Instagram logo got a fresh look. Mackey Saturday (@saturday), a designer and typographer from Denver, Colorado, is the creative force behind Instagram's logo.

An avid Instagrammer, Mackey committed himself to creating a logo that would resonate with the community: "My hope is that the new design maintains all the excitement and delight that Instagram has had from the beginning, but with an even more polished finish," Mackey says.

Mackey spent countless hours collaborating with our team until the final design emerged. "I want people to know and see that every last detail is always being considered and that this is a place where they can confidently create and share new memories for years to come. I'm honored to have a part in helping further those moments and hope that this piece becomes synonymous with fond memories, joyful emotions, and thrilling aspirations for the community."

Located near the city of Chiang Rai, Wat Rong Khun (วัดร่องขุ่น)—known outside Thailand as the “White Temple”—stands as an unusual and beautiful mix of traditional Thai architecture and modern-day science fiction memorabilia. The temple's white color symbolizes purity; its glittering glass signifies the teachings of the Buddah; and the moat filled with outreaching arms represents desire. Detailed sculptures of skulls, demons and severed heads are also scattered around the premises. Perhaps most interestingly, a mural inside with images of Batman, Superman, and even the alien from Predator tell a modern-day story of Buddha.
Construction on Wat Rong Khun began in 1996 and is expected to be finished in 2070. Though it is a work in progress, the temple attracts an increasingly large number of visitors every year many of whom share their visit to the temple on Instagram.

Train stations have been around for over 200 years—ever since the United Kingdom constructed the very first structures in the early 19th century. Many of the first stations reflect the grandiose architecture popular at the time, while those built more recently are more likely to have simple, abstract designs.
To honor the history of these buildings, we gathered together a list of some of the most beautiful stations from around the world. For more photos, visit blog.instagram.com.
