A dragon-fly doing a headstand kind of posturing in order to minimize the amount of sunlight falling on its body. Dragon flies that spend the day in full sun in open meadows may obelisk and show this behaviour, with head down and abdomen raised. But this is not a very common behaviour, as it is observed in about 10% of species of dragon-flies (according to the book Dragonflies by Cynthia Berger, Amelia Hansen)
Mr Robinson..."I will be appealing that this matter if necessary will go all the way to the High Court of Australia. A jury has found former ATSIC commissioner Ray Robinson guilty of using his position for an improper purpose. The charges relate to the sale of vehicles belonging to Aboriginal organisations in the Charleville area three years ago. The prosecution alleged Robinson had used part of the proceeds from the sale to pay for his defence on another legal matter.

Botanic gardens Brussels. (At last a certain glimpse of moiré! BTW who determined that moiré is ugly and must be avoided and/or eliminated ASAP?)
Brush-turkey Alectura lathami
A pair of juvenile scrub turkeys on my back deck. At
first I thought they were dying, but when I walked over to them, they ran
away. A few minutes later they were back doing the same thing so, as you do,
I ran in and got my camera. I've seen doves do the same thing in winter, I
have been told it's to try to rid themselves of parasites.
How can we help young children to get rid of addictions like regular intake of alcohol and drugs? What kind of behaviour we must have so as to help them get rid of these addictions?

Greylag Goose - Courtship and Copulatory Behaviour
After copulation, male greylag stretches neck, points bill up, arches partly closed wings and often calls loudly......
The Greylag goose (Anser anser) is the largest and bulkiest bird in the waterfowl family Anatidae. Its distribution is widespread, with birds from the north of its range in Europe and Asia migrating southwards to spend the winter in warmer places. It breeds in Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, the Baltic States, northern Russia, Poland, eastern Hungary and Romania. Greylag geese are herbivorous and feed chiefly on grasses. These geese normally pair for life.
Mayesbrook Park (Barking), Britain’s first climate change park, is an attractive nature reserve with a newly restored river landscape. The Mayes brook has been brought back into the park within a widened meandering river channel creating an attractive river landscape to help the park to cope with more extreme changes in climate including heavy rainfall and drought. This new river system, with a gravel river bed and banks, provides an ideal wetland habitat for wildlife and at times of high rainfall it is able to rise in a controlled and natural way within a newly created floodplain.
The southern section of the park features two large lakes which are rich in wildlife. Aquatic plants such as reeds and rushes have been planted in ponds and backwaters, creating a rich habitat for wetland species. With over 40 hectares of open space, the park recently received a Mayor of London Safer Parks Silver award for high standards of site safety and policing.
This morning I walked across the fresh snow with a gas cylinder in my arms, containing 6kg of CO2. I took it across the unspoiled snow field of the Jakobshavns fiord until I found what, to my eyes, was a wonderful place. From a little hill I could see massive icebergs impassably floating by, some of them breaking up from time to time with a loud bang. The sea below was deep grey, which made the icebergs stand up in all their beauty and fragility. The sky was a merge of pale grey and cerulean with a yellow glow just behind the skyline. Lichen and small berry plants could be felt under the powdery snow as I walked by.
I though: this is perfect!
I walked to the top of the small hill, I put the cylinder down, got on my knees and opened the valve. The CO2.came out violently, freezing the air around the nozzle and producing an unpleasant whistle. When I lowered the cylinder towards the ground, the snow blow off all around me under the pressure of the air jet, almost to signify the melting of the Arctic ice shelf because of the Carbon emissions generated somewhere else.
Reading this you might think I am an evil horrible woman. I would like to reassure you, I am not! I haven't done anything bad. because I have offset the carbon emissions generated by the CO2 cylinder, through an online Gold Standard Carbon Offsetting scheme! Cool no? This is great stuff. one can go about consciously polluting the world, wasting energy, producing tonnes of waste and abusing natural resources without feeling guilty at all!! One can simply pay somebody to compensate for his/her 'bad' actions somewhere else, and become Carbon Neutral!
Don't you think this is great?
Do you?
Personally I think it is appalling.
A lot has to be done before we can revert to Carbon offsetting as an effective mechanism to reduce global Carbon emissions.
Fundamental changes in societal behaviour are necessary to reduce our environmental impact, looking at the way we live, travel, eat, consume, go on holiday and warm our homes. Only after we have significantly reduced our environmental impact to the minimum possible, only then Carbon offsetting can start to be used efficiently.
With my performance I am seeking to throw a serious comment on the contemporary practice of Carbon Offsetting as a mean of green washing conscience and excusing bad behaviour. I am also seeking to provoke debate on why society is so resistant to change and how a collective behavioural shift could be achieved.
The cost of Carbon is still too low to drive change.
Change must come from within.

Compiling studymaterial at work. "Exponering" means exposure in swedish...probably not the kind of exposure most of the people here think of first though. ;)

If dogs can be trained to drive cars, it also means human behaviour can be changed. #transportchoice
Check out the You Tube clip for some background. www.youtube.com/user/TheDrivingDogs
The whole campaign is bloody brilliant. Trust the motor car industry to have all the best ideas.
I got a whole sequence of these little cuttlefish mating and feeding - even the passing of the sperm packet...........
I know it's garbage, but I think it's too big for this gull to swallow, and he/she played with this ball for the whole hour I was at the pond.
