Early yesterday morning, the residents from Alta and Tromsø in Norway have witnessed a fantastic natural phenomenon. The local newspapers started to publish photographs submitted by readers: in the sky above Alta and Tromsø was formed a giant spiral with a blue glow inside. The spiral twisted right in front of astonished spectators. Photos that were sent were taken by amateurs, so it’s not the best quality. Northern Lights are not uncommon in the Arctic and everyone got used to it there, but this time, it is something quite unusual... ![]() I’m gonna quote Wikipedia, because I couldn’t do better myself, so here it goes: The sailing stones (sliding rocks, moving rocks) are a geological phenomenon where rocks move in long tracks along a smooth valley floor without human or animal intervention. They have been recorded and studied in a number of places around Racetrack Playa, Death Valley, where the number and length of travel grooves are notable. The force behind their movement is not understood and is subject to research. ![]() ![]() Nature is unpredictable and it’s the most powerful force in the world. But even if its force is destructive and scary it can be also incredibly beautiful. Let’s look at an amazing compilation of pictures after the jump. ![]() I think everybody knows Hello Kitty, this little white kitten with its pink ribbon. The success of Hello Kitty is huge, the fan-base is gigantic and the number of products is enormous – and add to that all the Hello Kitty stuff that fans make by themselves. This phenomenon, that I will not explain here, has reached huge proportions; almost all objects that can potentially carry the Hello Kitty logo have been produced and if it’s not the case, the fans make the 'job'. There are even houses that have been fully decorated with Hello Kitty products. So here is a compilation in which you will find a bit of everything from the Hello Kitty iPod to the Hello Kitty scooter and from the cakes to countless goodies… ![]() The new Yorkers were lucky at the end of last month; they were able to enjoy the beauty of the Mammatus cloud. Very fascinating! ![]() |
