Lightning Strikes Just 200m From Quick-Fingered Photographers [Video]: "

There's nothing as spectacular as watching a thunderstorm roll in on the dry Australian landscape, which could explain why I've just spooked myself by watching William Phuoc's video of a bolt striking just 200m from where they were photographing. [PetaPixel] More »

Another Icelandic eruption: Grimsvotn volcano

Another Icelandic eruption: Grimsvotn volcano: "

Barely a year after a similar eruption in Iceland forced the biggest closure of European airspace since World War II, the eruption of the Grimsvotn volcano, under the Vatnajokull glacier in southeast Iceland on May 21, 2011 has caused hundreds of travel delays. The ash cloud forced U.S. President Barack Obama to shorten a visit to Ireland and has raised some fears of a repeat of last year's huge travel disruptions across Europe when emissions from Eyjafjalljokull stranded millions of passengers. Although this disruption is said to be stronger than that of Eyiafjalljokull, it is not expected to have the same impact.

Airlines began canceling flights to Britain because of the ash cloud from the volcano reaching its airspace, although experts expected no repeat of travel chaos from the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull a year ago.

Vesak Day 2011: "

Commonly called 'Budda's birthday,' Vesak Day is a time for Buddhists worldwide to come together and celebrate the birth, enlightenment, and death of Buddha. The commemorations range from meditations and quiet prayers to alms giving events to long colorful processions. In Indonesia, such events take place at the Borobudur Mahayana Buddhist monument, making it the most visited tourist attraction in the country. Vesak is observed every year during the full moon occurring in May or June. -- Lloyd Young(27 photos total)

Funny Book Bed Not To Forget About Reading

Funny Book Bed Not To Forget About Reading: "

Reading and sleeping have a strong connection because we always read in bed. Japanese designer Yusuke Suzuki decided to reflect this connection in his Book Bed. Today usual books are often substituted by e-books so it’s a nice way to not to forget the real books. Actually this bed is for a children’s room but it’s normal if a grown up places it in his or her room. If you place it in the children’s room, the kids will be able to play with it as the sheets can be turned as in a usual book. It’s convenient if you have two kids then there will be beds for both of them. A bed, a playground that reminds of reading to your kids – isn’t it great?
