Dodi Par Sar Lake Naran and Jalkand Pakistan
Dodi Pat Sar is located ahead of Naran and Jalkand,
Pakistan near Basal Camp which is at an altitude of 10,000 feet. The
lake and surrounding area has been declared as National Wild Life
Park. This splendid lake resides in the lap of the snow covered mountain
peak. The snowy mountain peak sheds its reflection in the lake giving
an impact of milk contained in a lake, which makes up its name.

Least Sandpiper (Calidris minutilla)
The least sandpiper is one of tiny shorebird. It is not
too much bigger than a sparrow. This bird is love to rummage through the seaweed,
and it is very tough to spot them when they are on it. I only manage to
see them when they move due to an advancing tide, or I may have
inadvertently stepped a bit too close.

Pyramid of Giza (Egypt) - 5,000 Years Old
Planetary alignment that will take place Dec 3, 2012 is dead-on
alignment with the Pyramids at Giza. Night Sky in Giza, Egypt on
December 3, 2012, local time … one hour before sunrise compared with the
Pyramids at Giza. Image generated by Starry Night Pro (the same view of
the planets can be obtained using any other astronomy program, e.g.
Stellarium. Also, it should be noted, that planetary convergence
only happens every 2,737 years, and its different for at least 2 more
cycles running the program forward… and doesn’t happen again for over
28,000 YEARS if you run that program backwards in time.

Fascinating Glass Chamber Teapot Brews Tea before Your Eyes
Your tea-drinking experience is
about to get a lot more spellbinding! The upcoming Sorapot 2 is part teapot and
part sculpture and it aims to illustrate you the magical that happens when
preparing your beverage. Usually, you would put your loose leaves in a pot,
close it, and wait for them to brew. The Sorapot 2 has a glass chamber that
changes all of that it lets you see the tea leaves explain right before your
very eyes.
Using the teapot is easy. Simply
unscrew the stainless-steel lock, unhinge it by the handle, place the leaves in
the jar, and then close it. Finally, pour hot water through the spout, take a
seat, and observe the hypnotic process of tea extracts combining with water.
The teapot also works with teabags but that’s definitely less exciting.
The Sorapot 2 was formed by
industrial designer Joey Roth and is offered for pre-order on his website. It’s
slated to begin shipping in October. It’s current price tag of $285, and it’s surely
not cheap, but what other well-designed teapot makes brewing into an art form?

Photographer Julie Fletcher Leaves Her City Life to Capture Stunning Images of Australian Outback
Photographer Julie Fletcher
quitting her office job finishing a failing relationship and leaving city in
life in Sydney. She finally is living in her dreams, when traveling to
Australia remotest locations to capture stunning landscape and gorgeous
wildlife of the land Down under. Julie hold her camera in hand and roams the
vast outback and photograph the majestic sights, the iconic and breathtaking
Uluru, wild kangaroos peeking up inquisitively, calm lakes dotted with twisted
trees, rugged mountains towering over barren land, and brilliant night skies
filled with endless stars.
Well, there is nothing out there
but at the same time there is so much if you just see and not just look, the
photographer says of the secluded southern regions that she frequents. This region
has made me a improved photographer by challenging me all the time. I am continually
looking for a changed approach on the same subject. It’s taught me to keep
things simple and don’t overthink things.

Julesburg, Colorado, USA
While on storm chasing expeditions in Tornado Alley in the U.S. I have
encountered many photogenic supercell storms. This photograph was taken
while we were approaching a storm near Julesburg, Colorado, on May 28,
2013. The storm was tornado warned for more than one hour, but it stayed
an LP [low precipitation] storm through all its cycles and never
produced a tornado, just occasional brief funnels, large hail, and some
rain.

Gates of the Valley
The Gates of the Valely in Yosemite National Park
stand in soft, smokey light as the sun nears setting. The El Portal Fire
a few miles to the west was fueling the air with a blue smokey haze but
that haze was no match for the majestic beauty of this splendid landscape. The recognizable face
of El Capitan dominates the left and the cascade of Cathedral Rocks
makes up the right side of the valley's gateway. Moreover; the hidden behind trees
here, Bridalveil Fall was a trickle in this driest of years.
