Where is the water?
Published June 28, 2010 nature Leave a CommentTags: 1 written by björn matters, elephant, safari park, whirlpool
I doubt if it is a publicy stunt of the Etali Safari Lodge in South Africa, but the story is nice. And even more the picture! So here it comes: the staff at the safari park was puzzled by the mystery of the disappearing water in the whirlpool bath. They filled the bath regularly, but it got empty time after time. And no leak could be found. It was only when a guest heard slurping and went outside. And the picture tells the rest……

Apparently running through the sprinklers in the yard on a hot summer’s day is a passtime enjoyed across species.

An intriguing and nice music video from renowned Australian musician Ben Lee for his single Song for the Divine Mother of the Universe, in collaboration with World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Australia. It’s a story of a monkey returning to earth after 65 years in space.

Happy World Water Day! This day is an initiative that grew out of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro.
Talking about water, do you know Emoto? Research from Dr. Masaru Emoto, says that when human thoughts are directed at water, images of the water crystals will be beautiful or ugly depending upon whether the thoughts were positive or negative. Emoto claims this can be achieved through prayer, music or by attaching written words to a container of water.
Because the human body is about more than 50% water, you imprint your body as well with your own thoughts. So, be aware of what you think or say. If you don’t plant flowers in the garden of your mind, you wil always pull weeds.

One of the diamonds of our planet: the Cave of the Crystals in Naica, Mexico. It’s really stunning and breathtaking. Watching this video makes me humble and awe-struck with the beauty of Mother Earth.

Earthquakes are sudden, and seismologists have no way of knowing exactly when or where the next one will occur. Remember the Northern California earthquake last month? Sophie, a 3-year-old white Labrador retriever mix, felt that one coming just several moments before the earth really started to shake.
