Fox-glacier- Te Moeka o Tuawe

This is an old photo taken at the village of Fox Glacier in New Zealand (South Island). The snow capped mountains and the glacier (which isn’t in the photo) are surrounded by dense rain forest with the largest ferns I have seen anywhere (there is one in the right hand corner). It rained almost continuously and this was taken in the few minutes when the sun came out. According to the internet the glacier's name in Maori is "Te Moeka o Tuawe", which means the "tears of Tuawe," who lost her husband on the mountain and whose tears of grief were frozen by the Gods to form the glacier.

Bignor Roman villa is near Arundel in Sussex; it was a large, very prosperous Roman-British farm complex of the third century. This rather solemn woman is thought to be Venus, although this is not hundred percent certain. The amount of work and skill that went into making these mosaics, to be lain in an obscure farmhouse at the Westernmost margins of the empire, is extraordinary and just as incredible that they were so well made to have survived to this day.

big dinosaur FutalognkosaurusROM DSC 8213

This is a cast replica of a huge dinosaur- "Futalognkosaurus" ( foo-ta-long-koh-sohr-us ) - recently discovered in Patagonia. The fossil is colossal and this is a closer shot of the pelvis looking up from between the legs. It was photographed at the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto. According to Wikipedia the word “Futalognkosaurus” derives from the local language of Mapudungun : "futa" meaning "giant", "lognko" meaning "chief" (so giant-chief-lizard). It would have been between 26-34 M long (a blue whale is up to about 30m).
