Sun.star essay: Summer watch BETWEEN sad news of disasters and dirty politics, there are happy thoughts of summer trips to beautiful places in our country now that it’s April. Summer is the chance for one to appreciate a country’s wealth in nature. When was the last time you saw fireflies and chased them? Of course, there are fireflies anywhere in the coastal towns or in riverbanks. One of the few times I saw fireflies was in the migratory bird island off Mactan, in Olango, which is a bird sanctuary. Besides the magic of migratory birds in Olango, the unforgettable memory of my visit there years ago in April is the quiet walk at past sunset to the marshland in mangrove waters and soft mud. They were swathed in blinking insects which exuded a soft smell of something like flower buds. The glow of the lightning bugs, like a swaying blanket of lights, made me anticipate music to come and fill the air, somehow. In Panglao Island and along the Loboc River are firefly tours in Bohol, even dinner in river boats.
Attack of the cute Hobbiton: Sheep 1, Hobbits 0 - StumbleUpon Matamata in New Zealand was the place chosen to film the Hobbiton scenes of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy of movies. After the film was finished the farm upon which the Hobbit village was created asked if some of the hobbit homes could remain to serve as an additional tourist attraction to the area. ...And so it was. However, it does look as if the sheep have discovered a new home and evicted the previous hobbit owners. In other words, don't go to Matamata's Hobbiton expecting Disneyland. The set still has a charm all of its own. Just sit back, use your imagination and you will be in Hobbiton. And no, you can't eat the lambs. See how Hobbiton has changed in 2011 after the completion of the filming of The Hobbit!

Bücherkubus - Bild von Edgar2 aus Architektur - Fotografie (18872702 Symmetrie war noch nie ein Indiz für ein gelungenes Bild. Symmetrie bedeutet Redundanz und Redundanz erzeugt Langeweile. Geringe Detailtiefe kann man nicht durch Schärfen ausgleichen, sondern, in der Digitalfotografie durch größere Sensoren, in der Analogfotografie durch eine größere Filmfläche und natürlich durch bessere Objektive. Hätte man mehr draus machen können! Gruß Michael Charly Charné, 16.10.2009 um 12:37 Uhr Symmetrie bedeutet Redundanz ? Darüber sollten wir nachdenken :-) Wenn wir schon in Metaphern sprechen wäre Redundanz wohl eher Sicherheit als Langeweile. Vielleicht versteh ichs aber auch nicht :-) Ruth P, 16.10.2009 um 12:47 Uhr Endlich mal wieder ein aussergewöhnlich gutes Bild in dieser Galerie! Matthias von Schramm, 16.10.2009 um 13:09 Uhr Im Sinne von technischer zur Sicherheit dienender Redundanz muss man aber doch Michael Guntenhöfer recht geben.

25 Acts of Body Language to Avoid Our body language exhibits far more information about how we feel than it is possible to articulate verbally. All of the physical gestures we make are subconsciously interpreted by others. This can work for or against us depending on the kind of body language we use. Some gestures project a very positive message, while others do nothing but set a negative tone. Most people are totally oblivious to their own body language, so the discipline of controlling these gestures can be quite challenging. Most of them are reflexive in nature, automatically matching up to what our minds are thinking at any given moment. Nevertheless, with the right information and a little practice, we can train ourselves to overcome most of our negative body language habits. Practice avoiding these 25 negative gestures: “ I speak two languages, Body and English. ” — Mae West Holding Objects in Front of Your Body – a coffee cup, notebook, hand bag, etc. Want to know powerful, dominant, confident body language postures?
