Lightnings

2009-06-23T15:34:00.006+03:00

Lightning is an atmospheric discharge of electricity usually accompanied by thunder, which typically occurs during thunderstorms, and sometimes during volcanic eruptions or dust storms. In the atmospheric electrical discharge, a leader of a bolt of lightning can travel at speeds of 60,000 m/s (220,000 km/h), and can reach temperatures approaching 30,000 °C (54,000 °F), hot enough to fuse silica sand into glass channels known as fulgurites which are normally hollow and can extend some distance into the ground.There are some 16 million lightning storms in the world every year.

Mystirious desert

2009-05-15T16:35:00.002+03:00

A desert is a landscape or region that receives very little precipitation. Deserts are defined as areas with an average annual precipitation of less than 250 mm (10 in), or as areas where more water is lost by evapotranspiration than falls as precipitation. In the Köppen climate classification system, deserts are classed as BWh (hot desert) or BWk (temperate desert). In the Thornthwaite climate classification system, deserts would be classified as arid megathermal climates.

Eyes

2009-05-03T15:57:00.002+03:00

Eyes are organs that detect light, and send signals along the optic nerve to the visual and other areas of the brain. Complex optical systems with resolving power have come in ten fundamentally different forms, and 96% of animal species possess a complex optical system. Image-resolving eyes are present in cnidaria, mollusks, chordates, annelids and arthropods.

Ghost house

2009-05-02T00:13:00.003+03:00

A ghost is popularly held to be the disembodied spirit or soul of a deceased person. Popularly described as insubstantial and partly transparent, ghosts are reported to haunt particular locations that they were associated with in life or at time of death. A revenant is a deceased person returning from the dead to haunt the living, either as a disembodied ghost or alternatively as an animated ("undead") corpse.
wikipedia

A house generally refers to a shelter or building or structure that is a dwelling or place for habitation by human beings. The term includes many kinds of dwellings ranging from rudimentary huts of nomadic tribes to high-rise apartment buildings. However, the word can also be used as a verb ("to house"), and can have adjectival formations as well. In some contexts, "house" may mean the same as dwelling, residence, home, abode, accommodation, housing, lodging, among other meanings.

Water drops , the liquid miracle

2009-04-10T17:17:00.002+03:00

A drop or droplet is a small volume of liquid, bounded completely or almost completely by free surfaces. A drop may form when liquid accumulates at the lower end of a tube or other surface boundary, producing a hanging drop called a pendant drop. Drops may also be formed by the condensation of a vapor or by atomization of a larger mass of liquid.
Wikipedia

Water is a common chemical substance that is essential for the survival of all known forms of life. In typical usage, water refers only to its liquid form or state, but the substance also has a solid state, ice, and a gaseous state, water vapor or steam. Water covers 71% of the Earth's surface .

Sunset over Africa

2009-03-28T22:38:00.005+02:00

Africa is the world's second-largest the second most-populous (and the hotest continent) . At about 30.2 million km² (11.7 million sq mi) including adjacent islands, it covers six percent of the Earth's total surface area and 20.4 percent of the total land area.[2] With a billion people (as of 2009, see table) in 61 territories, it accounts for about 14.8% of the Earth's human population.
wikipedia

Sunset is the daily "falling" of the sun below the horizon as a result of the Earth's rotation. The atmospheric conditions created by the setting of the sun are also mainly named as "a sunset". These conditions often appear before and after the precise moment the sun disappears below the horizon.

Sharks , fear and love

2009-03-17T18:34:00.004+02:00

Sharks (superorder Selachimorpha) are a kind of fish with a full cartilaginous skeleton and a highly streamlined body. They respire with the use of five to seven gill slits. Sharks have a covering of dermal denticles that protect their skin from damage and parasites and improve water dynamics. They have a lot of replaceable teeth. Sharks range in size from the small dwarf lanternshark, Etmopterus perryi, a deep sea species of only 17 centimetres (7 in) in length, to the whale shark, Rhincodon typus, the largest fish, which grows to a length of approximately 12 metres (39 ft) and which eats only on plankton, squid, and small fish through filter feeding.

Fire and flames

2009-03-13T19:12:00.003+02:00

Fire is the oxidation of a combustible material releasing heat, light, and various reaction products such as carbon dioxide and water. If hot enough, the gases may become ionized to produce plasma.[2] Depending on the substances alight, and any impurities outside, the color of the flame and the fire's intensity might vary. Fire in its most common form can result in conflagration, which has the potential to cause physical damage through burning.

Frogs and some toads,in a variety of colors

2009-03-10T18:15:00.003+02:00

Frogs are amphibians in the order Anura (meaning "tail-less", from Greek an-, without + oura, tail), formerly called as Salientia (Latin saltare, to jump). The name frog derives from Old English frogga, (compare Old Norse frauki, German Frosch, older Dutch spelling kikvorsch), cognate with Sanskrit plava (frog), perhaps deriving from Proto-Indo-European praw = "to jump".

The basic characteristics are the long hind legs, a short body, webbed digits (fingers or toes), big eyes and the absence of a tail. Most frogs have a semi-aquatic lifestyle, but move easily on land by jumping or climbing. They typically lay their eggs in puddles, ponds or lakes, and their larvae, called tadpoles, have gills and develop in water. Adult frogs are carnivorous , mostly of arthropods, annelids and gastropods. Frogs are most noticeable by their call, which can be widely heard during the night or day, mainly in their mating season.

The Great Wall - China

2009-03-09T09:40:00.005+02:00

The Great Wall of China (simplified Chinese: 长城; traditional Chinese: 長城; pinyin: Chángchéng; literally "long city/fortress") or (simplified Chinese: 万里长城; traditional Chinese: 萬里長城; pinyin: Wànlǐ Chángchéng; meaning "The long wall of 10,000 Li , is a series of stone and earthen walls in China, built, rebuilt, and maintained between the 5th century BC and the 16th century to guard the northern borders of the Chinese Empire from Xiongnu hords attacks during the rule of successive dynasties. Several walls, referred to as the Great Wall of China, were built since the 5th century BC. One of the most famous is the wall built between 220–206 BC by the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang; little of it remains; it was much farther north than the current wall, which was built during the Ming Dynasty.

The Great Amazon

2009-03-09T01:12:00.004+02:00

The Amazon River (Portuguese: Rio Amazonas; Spanish: Río Amazonas) of South America is the largest river in the world by volume, with a total river flow greater than the next top eight largest rivers combined. The Amazon, which has the largest drainage basin in the world, accounts for approximately one fifth of the world's total river flow. During the wet season The Amazon is 120 miles (190 km) - 130 miles (210 km) wide. Because of its enormous dimensions, it is also named The River Sea. At no point is the Amazon crossed by bridges. This is only partly because of its huge dimensions—in fact, for most of its length the Amazon is not so wide that a modern bridge could not span it—but more because, for most of its length, the river flows through tropical rainforest, where there are few roads and even fewer cities.

Barreleye fish-A deep-sea fish with a see-through head

2009-02-26T15:16:00.003+02:00

Barreleyes, also known as spookfish (a name also applied several species of chimaera), are small, deep-sea, odd-looking osmeriform fish comprising the family Opisthoproctidae.Living in hot waters of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans,in the family there are thirteen species in six genera (four of which are monotypic).

These fish are named for their barrel-shaped, tubular eyes which are mainly looking upwards to find the silhouettes of available victims; but, according to Robison and Reisenbichler these fish are capable of using their eyes forward as well. The family name Opisthoproctidae is derived from the Greek words opisthe ("behind") and proktos ("anus").

Lions into the wild

2009-02-24T10:10:00.002+02:00

The lion (Panthera leo) is a part of the family Felidae and one of four big cats in the genus Panthera. With very large males exceeding 250 kg (550 lb) in weight, it is the second-largest living cat after the tiger. Wild lions currently live in Sub-Saharan Africa and in Asia with a critically endangered remnant population in northwest India, having eleminated from North Africa, the Middle East, and Western Asia in historic years. Until the late Pleistocene (about 10,000 years ago), the lion was the most widespread big land mammal except humans. They were lived in most of Africa, much of Eurasia from western Europe to India and, in the Americas, from the Yukon to Peru.

Red sky

2009-02-19T15:04:00.002+02:00

Red is one of a number of similar colors evoked by light consisting predominantly of the longest wavelengths of light discernible by the human eye, in the wavelength range of roughly 625–740 nm. Longer wavelengths than this are called infrared, or below red and cannot be seen by the naked human eye. Red is used as one of the additive primary colors of light, complementary to cyan, in RGB color systems. Red is also one of the subtractive firtt colors of RYB color space but not CMYK color space.
Wikipedia

The sky is the part of the atmosphere or of outer space visible from the surface of any astronomical object. It is difficult to define exactly for several reasons. During day, the sky of our planet looks like a deep blue surface because of the air's scattering of sunlight. The sky is sometimes defined as the denser gaseous zone of a planet's atmosphere. At night the sky has the appearance of a black surface or region scattered witha lot of stars.

And some movie- posters for your apetite

2009-02-16T23:25:00.000+02:00

A film poster is a poster used to advertise a film. There may be a lot of versions for one film. It usually contains a picture with text. The text contains the film title and very often the names of the star actors. It may also include a tag line, the name of the director, names of characters, the release date, etc.

Film posters are used inside and on the outside of movie theaters, and elsewhere on the street. The same image would appear in a film exhibitor's pressbook and may also be displayed on websites, DVD-packaging, flyers, advertisements in newspapers and magazines, etc.

Use of film posters goes back to the earliest public adverises of film, where they started as outside placards listing the programme of (short) films to be shown inside the hall or movie theater. By the early 1900s, they began to feature illustrations of a scene from every individual film or an array of overlaid images from some scenes. Other movie posters have used artistic interpretations of a scene or even the theme of the film, represented in a wide variety of artistic styles. Movie posters are produced in a large number of sizes to meet various advertising needs.
