Planet Earth - Deserts
Around 30% of the land's surface is desert, the most varied of our ecosystems despite the lack of rain. Saharan sandstorms reach nearly a mile high and desert rivers run for a single day.Due to Siberian winds, Mongolia's Gobi Desert reaches extremes of temperature like no other, ranging from -40°C to +50°C. It is home to the rare Bactrian camel, which eats snow to maintain its fluid level and must limit itself to 10 litres a day if it is not to prove fatal.
The biggest dunes (300 meters high) are to be found in Namibia, whle other deserts featured are the Atacama in Chile, the Sonoran in Arizona, and areas of the Australian outback and Utah. Animals shown surviving in such an unforgiving habitat include elephants, lions (hunting oryx), red kangaroos, nocturnal fennec foxes, acrobatic flat lizards feeding on black flies, and duelling Nubian ibex.
Of course - narrated by Sir David Attenborough.
The Academy of Achievement
The International Achievement Summit can perhaps best be described as a global celebration of the human spirit to excel that lies at the heart of the American Dream. Its honored guests are those who have made a significant difference in today's world through individual effort in their own fields of endeavor. The roster of past awardees reads like a "Who's Who" of modern civilization, and includes many Nobel, Pulitzer, National Medal of Science, Business Hall of Fame, Golden Globe, and Oscar winners.

Saddam Hussein Execution
 | Best Reports: |
UPDATE 01.01.07: Saddam Hussein is not DEAD
All the news networks of the world showing the antecedent moments to the hanging of Saddam Hussein. Journalists, Politicians, Everybody comment the death of Saddam Hussein.
But WHO HAS SEEN ENTIRELY THE HANGING OF SADDAM HUSSEIN? WebSites like YouTUBE, Google Video should have on their homepages the video of this execution. But WHY is it completely impossible to find any scene bout this event?
Vertical Cities
| As far as I can remember, I've always had two passions: Planes and Photography. Trying to combine them seemed to be a natural move. In general, cities are off-limits to low altitude flying. In this "forbidden territory" the photographer faces a real challenge: seizing the breathtaking geometry of landscapes seen in a purely vertical perspective. Vertical Cities Check also the Panoramics and Aviation section by Patrick Durand. [Re-Post of entry 11.03.05 for those who didn't see.] |

StarMurals
Move your mouse over the picture !StarMurals - Sleep Under The Stars Every Night ...
| StarMurals are magical 5-D works of original art that resemble the real night sky, in a variety of ways. Like the night sky, StarMurals are invisible by day, yet they glow in the dark, all night long. Just like the night sky, all of my stars move and “twinkle”...even my “shooting stars” appear to move…and they are moving. There’s nothing else like it ... |
