Modern Somalia pirates (30 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       18 Mar 2009       9672
This is not the pirates, which we are used to see in movies.
They are well armed and have quite fast boats.
Piracy is a very lucrative "business". If they manage to seize a boat, they can get ransom money of millions of dollars for the vessel, crew and cargo.
Despite the presence of military patrols in the Gulf of Aden, they still attack boats.
Kenya, Yemen and Somalia are very poor, so piracy is a major source of income for many inhabitants of these countries.

Pictures of children in orphan houses and in their new families (68 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       11 Mar 2009       27011
It is difficult to believe by looking at these pictures that all of them were in orphan houses and nobody cared about them.
It is hard to believe that they looked completely different…
Look the way they were when their adoptive parents saw them for the first time.
A little time has passed and now these boys and girls are unrecognizable! It’s a real miracle…

Let’s talk about paranormal. Ghost on the photographs (11 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       11 Mar 2009       131437
It happens sometimes that when people take pictures they see some faces or something that slightly resembles a human silhouette etc. on them later. And of course, the first thing they say – it’s a ghost! Well, I’m not an expert, but as for me, I think that it is just the coincidental effect of darkness and light which combined together gives this optical illusion. Plus pareidolia (e.g. seeing images of animals or faces in clouds) plays a big role in it.

There is a trail from the Pulpit Rock lodge through different mountain landscapes, which are splendid.
You can get a gig adrenaline dose too at this height.

Mother Nature has given these animals the gift to be “invisible” at the right moment.
Some of them need it to hide from predators, others, on the contrary – hunt.
Look attentively at these pictures, it is really difficult to spot some of them ;)

Mirage (4 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       6 Mar 2009       9926
Thousands of tourists saw a mirage of very high clarity which lasted four hours off the shore of Penglai city in China.
The mist rose on the shore and created an image of a modern city with high rise buildings, wide city streets, fast moving cars, and crowds of people all over the place.
The detail was very visible.
Experts explained that a mirage is formed when moisture in the air becomes warmer than the temperature of sea water, which refracts rays of sunlight to create reflections of the landscape in the sky.
