Gore Warming vs. Mother Nature

For the global warming skeptic/realists in you, here’s an excellent new cartoon by Glenn McCoy (copyright 2009 Universal Press Syndicate) to enjoy!

Star gazing with NASA

Great picture of the Sun, Venus, Earth, Mars, Saturn, and our Moon. Which one is which is something that I will probably never be able to tell (except for Venus and the big ones) with naked eye.  Glad that folks at NASA can point them out.

Hiking in the Shenadoah National Park

If  Virginia is for lovers as it is said, then I can say the Shenandoah National Park is definitely for “hiking lovers” (meaning people who love to hike, ok?:).

So, here are a few shots from one of my recent summer-time outings.

On a heavily rainy Sunday, totally  unequipped for extreme weather, I joined these guys for an 11miles-long hike up to the the tallest waterfall in Shenandoah National Park and back. Luckily, the group had  a spare raincoat to share with me… The rest is history,  the sleek-slippery rocks, the muddy trail, climbing 45deg.+ slopes, I loved every minute of it!

A world of artists

Wish I were an artist…
To picture the world as it is, highlight the best of it, and inspire others.

Too bad economists can not yet be like artists; too many things going wrong in their world.

Festin cu melci si apa de ploaie in parcul I.O.R.

De cateva saptamani incoace, in Bucuresti mai mult ploua, si ploua, si ploua… apa peste tot, inverzesc parcurile, padurile, prolifereaza natura, etc. Blocati in casa, pana cand?

Pana Mish a descoperit pe www un joc de aventura numai bun drept pretext de iesit la plimbare chiar si pe ploaie! Asadar, echipati cu umbrele si GPS, am pornit in cautarea comorii plasate in parcul Al. Ioan Cuza (mai bine cunoscut I.O.R. ).

Detalii, detalii, detalii…
