Loch Ness Monster is a cryptid, whose existence has been suggested but is not discovered or documented by the scientific community. It is reputedly a large unknown animal that inhabits Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. Popular interest and belief in the animal's existence has varied since it was first brought to the world's attention in 1933. Evidence of its existence is anecdotal, with minimal and much-disputed photographic material and sonar readings. The legendary monster has been affectionately referred to by the nickname Nessie since the 1940s. The most common speculation among believers is that the creature represents a line of long-surviving plesiosaurs and while the scientific community regards the Loch Ness Monster as a modern-day myth, and explains sightings as including misidentifications of more mundane objects, outright hoaxes, and wishful thinking, it remains one of the most popular icons of cryptozoology:)

"here the same existence reflects once again
and the pictures of that night are repeated again and again ...."
This well-preserved and partially restored six-storeys high tower house is betweeen Lough Doo to the W and Lough Aslaun to the E, it was once the largest in Ireland. It was in existence in 1574 when it was in the possession of 'John Oshagnes' it remained in O'Shaughnessy ownership until 1697 when it was confiscated. The tower has a gabled roof and a slight base-batter. It is protected by two bawns and is centrally located in the inner one. It is accessed by a pointed arched doorway in the N wall, which leads to a small lobby with a murder-hole overhead. Doorways off the lobby access the spiral staircase to the E and the main chamber to the S. The doorway to the guardroom to the W is blocked up and that room is now accessed by a robbed-out doorway at the W end of the N wall of the main chamber. The ground and upper floors each consist of a main chamber with a subsidiary one to the N, with the exception of the 5th floor where the wall which separated the chambers has been destroyed; this is now an open area floored by concrete. Stone vaults exist between the 1st and 2nd floors, and between the 4th and 5th floors of the main chambers. All the other floors were wooden and were carried on corbels, some of which survive in the E and W walls. A barrel vault also exists over the guardroom; otherwise the floors of the subsidiary chambers were also wooden. Again all are gone part from that at 1st-floor level which survives intact. Intramural passages between the main and subsidiary chambers on the 1st and 4th floors accessed garderobes at their W ends. Fireplaces in the W wall on the 2nd and 3rd floors and in the S wall on the 5th floor are later insertions; that on the 2nd floor partially blocks an ogee-headed window. From the 5th floor stairs lead to the wall-walk and attic. The S gable is intact and carries a chimney but the N gable no longer survives. There is also a chimney on the W wall. Angled bartizans survive on the NW and SE corners at 2nd-floor level, and on the top of the tower at the SW corner there is a semicircular machicolation. At this level on the NE corner three corbels indicate the former presence a similar defensive feature. A projecting string course is visible at the top of the walls, and between the chimney and the SW bartizan enclosed crenellations survive. Windows vary from narrow rectangular lights on the stairwell to single, double and three-light round and ogee-headed windows in the subsidiary and main chambers.

Eventually, the existence of such ghettoisation and discrimination provided the main focus for the civil rights campaigns of the late 1960s. These campaigns, which drew massive support from Catholics in Northern Ireland, were inspired by a worldwide non-violent movement for civil rights to secure rights to votes, jobs, and services. The civil rights movement drew a hostile response from the Protestant state, which saw them as a threat to its existence.
The eruption of violence on the streets, and the wholescale movement of populations in urban areas into separate Protestant and Catholic communities led to the formation of local vigilantes that in turn led to the resurgence of paramilitaries in local communities. The intensity of sectarian violence resulted in the deployment of the British Army on the Streets in Northern Ireland, where they have remained to this day. When it became obvious that those unionists who were in power were not willing, or able, to address quickly enough the demands of Catholics for civil rights, the campaign gradually developed on the part of some people into a violent campaign which claimed that equality was impossible within the existing state structures. This campaign of violence and counter violence by the Loyalist paramilitaries, with attempts at containment by both the police and army, lasted until the cease-fires of 1994. There were several attempts at political agreements notably in 1974 where there was a power-sharing executive but this was destroyed by the actions of Loyalist paramilitaries.

"Now to consult the rules of composition before making a picture is a little like consulting the law of gravitation before going for a walk. Such rules and laws are deduced from the accomplished fact; they are the products of reflection . . ." -Edward Weston
Animals are a part and parcel of our society. Humans and animals have a great emotional connection with each other. Sometimes we ignore the existence of them but we should always remember that animals plays a very important role in our life and we can make a peaceful world for them.
ABU DHABI - AL WATHBA FOSSIL DUNES
This fossil dunes here are 100% natural rock formations. They come into existence the same way as sand dunes – thanks to sand-laden winds that flow over a very long period of time. The sand, in the case of fossil dunes, is infused with calcium carbonate. This is why it gets hardened over time and takes the form of abstract natural sculpture.
They look like dancing dunes 😉
The site of Al Wathba Fossil Dunes has been a popular spot among Hollywood filmmakers. Several movies, including the famed Six Underground and Star Wars: The Force Awakens feature these dunes.

"Imagine Peace, 2001
Yoko Ono - New York, USA
Installation, Visual Art
Yoko Ono has often remarked that all of her work is a form of wishing. For "Wish Tree", participants are invited to write a wish on a piece of paper and tie it to the branch of a tree, as a form of collective secular prayer. The resulting mass of wishes resembles white flowers blossoming from afar.
The "Imagine Peace" billboard continues the advertising strategy of the “War is Over!” campaign that Ono and Lennon waged in the late sixties and early seventies. The language is both softened and more direct, but the implication of our complicity remains – peace will continue to elude us if we are unable to even fathom its existence.
Forty-thousand buttons adorned with the phrase will also be distributed to visitors over the course of the evening. "
I neglected to take a photo of the wish trees although they looked really good.
