Cloud Covered Island - An Awesome view
Litla Dimun is a small island between the islands of Suouroy and Stora Dimun in the Faroe Islands. It is the smallest of the main 18 islands, being less than 100 hectares (250 acres) in area, and is
the only one uninhabited. One of the most striking feature of this island is that it often remains covered in clouds. This type of cloud is known as Lenticular clouds, so called because it is shaped like a lens. Lenticular clouds are always stationary and when formed over mountain peaks or islands, like Litla Dimun, looks like a majestic hat.
Flowerhorn cichlids
Flowerhorn cichlids are ornamental aquarium fish noted for their vivid colors and the distinctively shaped heads for which they are named. Their head protuberance, or kok, is formally termed a "nuchal hump." Like blo
od parrot cichlids, they are man-made hybrids that do not exist in nature. First developed in Malaysia and Taiwan, they are now kept by fish hobbyists worldwide.
Flowerhorn cichlids grow 12 to 16 inches long depending on the type and have a characteristic knob on the front of their head. They are usually brightly colored in various patterns and sometimes have black markings that resemble Chinese characters on their sides.

Wave Pier - Florida
Who knew a pier could do so much! Looping vertically into the ocean like a 360-degree stunt ramp, the Wave Pier by Mesh Architects can, not only host outdoor concerts, it can also act as an artificial second beach. The Wave Pier was Mesh Architects'entry for St. Peterburg’s design competition to create a new cultural centre for the city.
The Rare GOLDEN TIGER!
The golden tiger (golden tabby tiger, strawberry tiger) is even rarer than the white colour morph.
The gold colour is due to a recessive mutation, probably analogous to wide-band in domestic cats. The mutation cau
sing the colour change seems also to affect the structure of the fur so that it is softer than that of a standard orange tiger. There is none of the black colouration of an orange tiger and this lack of black striping makes their white markings unusually prominent, especially on the face.
As with the white tiger, the golden tiger is usually considered a form of Bengal tiger. They tend to have problems with their pelvic girdles and lumbar vertebrae.

Human vs ant!
Olympic weightlifter in action and a leaf-cutter ant carrying a piece of leaf!
Hossein Rezazadeh of Iran remains one of the greatest weightlifters of all time, lifting a mighty 263kg for a current clean and jerk world reco
rd.
But ants are also capable of some remarkable feats of strength for their diminutive size.
Remarkably, a leaf-cutter ant can carry a piece of leaf 50 times its own body weight. Could Hossein carry a van weighing over 2300kg?
Probably not.
