Here is an interesting way to collect old clothes for the needy. If people were more aware of poor people that would be more likely to part with the clothes that they no longer need. That is the whole idea behind thiscampaign.  | ||

Swirling surface of the sun ```
What the blazes could this be? No, not an abstract painting, but the swirling surface of the SUN

With twirling patterns of orange, red and yellow, it looks like an undiscovered Van Gogh.
But this astonishing image is actually a close-up of the sun, showing the fiery jets of fast-moving superheated gas that constantly burst from the solar surface.
The twisting tubes, known as spicules, are around 300 miles in diameter and spurt upwards from the sun at supersonic speeds of 45,000mph. They can be likened to pipes of gas, each as wide as a small country and as long as half the Earth.
01.jpgOne of the highest resolution images yet of spicules which cover the solar active region 11092 that crossed the sun last month
In the lower right is a small sunspot, a dark patch of cooler gas on the sun’s surface. Sun spots can last for days or months and numbers rise and fall in a cycle lasting around 11 years.
The picture, taken by astronomer Dr Kevin Reardon, covers a relatively small proportion of the sun’s surface, just 65,000 square miles.
Original photographer "Impossible is Nothing"
Life is a Game...
God likes the winner, loves the loser...
This is a case of photographer photographs photographer. The following photographs were taken by photographer Hans van de Vorst at the Grand Canyon, Arizona. The descriptions are his own. The identity of the photographer IN the photos is unknown.
I was simply stunned seeing this guy standing on this solitary rock IN the Grand Canyon.
The canyon's depth is 900 meters here. The rock on the right is next to the canyon and safe.
Watching this guy on his thong sandals, with a camera and a tripod I asked myself 3 questions:
1. How did he climb that rock?
2. Why not taking that sunset picture on that rock to the right, which is perfectly safe?
3. How will he get back?
This is the point of no return.
After the sun set behind the canyon's horizon he packed his things (having only one hand available)
and prepared himself for the jump. This took about 2 minutes.
At that point he had the full attention of the crowd.
After that, he jumped on his thong sandals...
The canyon's depth is 900 meters here..
Now you can see that the adjacent rock is higher so he tried to land lower, which is quite steep
and tried to use his one hand to grab the rock.
We've come to the end of this little story. Look carefully at the photographer. .
He has a camera, a tripod and also a plastic bag, all on his shoulder or in his left hand.
Only his right hand is available to grab the rock and the weight of his stuff is a problem.
He lands low on this flip flops both his right hand and right foot slips away...
At that moment I take this shot.
He pushes his body against the rock.
He waits for a few seconds, throws his stuff on the rock, climbs and walks away.
