Siku is 1 year and 5 months old, and his weight is more than 160 kg.
We think he has grown very handsome, a very attractive young polar bear.
Now he is together with another polar bear, Smilla. She is 22 years old and came to Scandinavian Wildlife Park from a zoo where she had very bad conditions. Because of this she was unable to be together with the other polar bears in Scandinavian Wildlife Park, but she and Siku have become kind of friends and enjoy being together. Good for both of them.

Working watermill and workshops
This working mill next to the Morden Stream is an atmospheric reminder of the recent past when corn was ground here for the local community. It’s believed that mills have worked in the Tamar valley since medieval times and this watermill dates back to the 19th century. The buildings surrounding the mill were used as stables, cowsheds, a hayloft and a ‘cherry house’ for storing cherries. The last of these buildings was added in the 1890s and they are now set up as a selection of estate and craft workshops.
The mill produces wholemeal flour, which is used at the Barn Restaurant and The Edgcumbe, and is on sale at the mill reception and in Cotehele’s shop. A range of outbuildings includes re-creations of wheelwright's, saddler's and blacksmith's workshops along with a traditional furniture maker and a working potter.

Lewisia is a plant genus, named for the American explorer Meriwether Lewis (1774-1809) who encountered the species in 1806. The native habitat of Lewisia species is rocky ground and cliffs in western North America. Native Americans ate the roots, which have also been used to treat sore throats.
Characteristics
Lewisias are succulent perennial flowering plants native to western North American habitats including rocky outcrops from the high elevation alpine to lower elevation chaparral, oak woodlands, and coniferous forests. They produce rosette-shaped flowers in a range of different colours.[1] Lewisia cotyledon grow up to 0.5 metres (1.6 ft) in height and width.[2]
About half of the species of Lewisia are deciduous, including the original Lewisia rediviva. Lewisia longipetala is the only semi-deciduous species. Some species, such as Lewisia cotyledon, are evergreen.[3]
Taxonomy
Meriwether Lewis, of Lewis and Clark fame, is credited with the first discovery by a European or American of Lewisia, which was known to the local Native Americans as bitterroot. Lewis discovered the specimen in 1806 at Lolo Creek, in the mountain range that became known as the Bitterroot Mountains.[4] The plant was given its scientific name, Lewisia rediviva, by Frederick Traugott Pursh.[5]
Distribution and habitat
Lewisias are naturally found in western parts of North America. In their native habitat of north-facing cliffs, lewisias are subject to extremes in weather conditions.[10]
Uses
All species of Lewisia are edible. Lewisia rediviva has a large edible root and as a result became a food source for Native Americans.[11] The root is peeled before boiling or steaming; cooking the root reduces its bitterness.[12]
L. rediviva has also been used for medicinal purposes; chewing the root was used to relieve a sore throat. It has also been used to promote milk flow during lactation.[13]
For gardening, Lewisia species are usually planted in rockeries, because this mimics their natural habitat. Rockeries also provide the free drainage that lewisias need to prevent their roots rotting.[14] They may also be planted in pots, though they need to be well drained and protected from sustained wet weather.[15]

Today is not only our 4th wedding anniversary, but also the happiest day of year for EVERYBODY!!!
from THE SUN:
www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2489767/June-19-is-off...
TODAY is the happiest day of the year, according to a scientific study.
Dr Cliff Arnall came up with a formula to pinpoint the nicest date in the calendar, fed it into a computer - and Friday, June 19, came out on top.
It was all based on his complicated equation - O + (N x S) + Cpm/T + He.
To calculate a day's happiness rating, Dr Arnall gave values to each of the symbols.
He added outdoors (O) to nature (N) multiplied by social interaction (S).
He then added childhood memories of summers (Cpm) divided by temperature (T) plus excitement about holidays (He).
The former Cardiff University lecturer, 44, said warm summer days - when people meet friends for outdoor activities or are planning their holidays - are more likely to get a higher rating than gloomy winter days.
And he added: "People may be less able to afford other leisure activities but it's free to walk in the park or paddle in the stream.
"The most important things in our lives are our relationships - and no amount of money can buy that.
Amazing
"I've spoken to miserable multi-millionaires and people who have no money but are very happy because they have amazing friends."
Former NHS psychologist Dr Arnall, of Brecon, Powys, said: "People's minds are on the credit crunch but it doesn't take away from the equation's primary factors, spending time with people you love and being outdoors in the warm weather."
This is my "studio" and my first attempts at using my light box. Shots turned out pretty good, IMHO, but I need to add more light either from the front or back. Don't know yet, I need to experiment.

The Kenai River called Kahtnu in the Dena'ina language, is the longest river in the Kenai Peninsula of south central Alaska. It runs 82 miles (132 km) westward from Kenai Lake in the Kenai Mountains, through the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge and Skilak Lake to its outlet into the Cook Inlet of the Pacific Ocean near Kenai and Soldotna, Alaska.
The Kenai River [Kee-nye] is a meltwater river that drains the central Kenai Peninsula region. Its source is the Kenai Lake. Near Cooper Landing, the lake narrows to form the river. About 12 miles (19 km) from the lake, the river passes through Kenai Canyon for about 2 miles (3.2 km) of fast-flowing whitewater rapids. The Russian River empties into the Kenai several miles west of Cooper Landing. 17.3 miles (27.8 km) from Kenai Lake, the river enters Skilak Lake. The Kenai Lake to Skilak section is commonly referred to as the "Upper River". The 19.5 miles (31.4 km) portion from Skilak Lake downstream to the Sterling Highway bridge near Soldotna is known as "Mid-River". The final 21 miles (34 km) from the bridge to the mouth at Cook Inlet is known as the "Lower River", where the flow is much gentler. The final 12 miles (19 km) are greatly influenced by changing tides.

This is a very surreal scene. Xinjiang is one of the places in the world that is furthest away from an ocean, yet in the middle of the desert is this beach scene.
This is Jin Sha Tan, literally it means Golden Sand Beach. It is on the bank of Bosten Lake, which is a large freshwater lake with an area of about 1000 sqkm. China has a long coastline, yet every year, this is where they hold the National Beach Volleyball Competition. I almost couldn't believe my eyes when I arrived and was fascinated with the beach scene in China, as compared to elsewhere.
Winchester is a city, county town of Hampshire. The city is located at the western end of the South Downs National Park, along the course of the River Itchen.
Winchester developed from the Roman town of Venta Belgarum, which developed from an Iron Age oppidum. Winchester's major landmark is Winchester Cathedral, one of the largest cathedrals in Europe, with the distinction of having the longest nave and overall length of all Gothic cathedrals in Europe. The city is also home to the University of Winchester and Winchester College, the oldest public school in the United Kingdom. The city's architectural and historic interest, and its fast links to other towns and cities have led Winchester to become one of the most expensive and desirable areas of the country. A person who is from or resides in Winchester is sometimes locally known as a Wintonian.
What is Mindfulness?
In an answer to a question, Miteiya explains the art of “Mindfulness”. Miteiya says that this is the core teaching of “Abhisamayalankara” and reminds the viewers of his previous discourse on 4 Greek brothers. Miteiya reiterates the same teaching by quoting Prometheus, Epimetheus, Menoetius and Atlas.
Miteiya also quotes a myth from Mahabharata, wherein during the battle; Dronacharya was asked to capture Yudhisthir and not kill him. From psychological perspective, it simply shows that Mind would be actively working to capture the “Internal Gaze”. With the background of these two myths, Miteiya explains the teaching of Abhisamayalankara.
Miteiya says that there are 4 steps in this exercise. The first step is to acquire requisite knowledge of all the scriptures. The second step is to understand all paths (Chakras). The third step is to sequence them in proper alignment. And the fourth and final step is to enlighten and awaken all the chakras along with goal in the single instantenous moment. This process is quite similar to Vast Form of Krishna and it leads to Sahasara Chakra.
The Palais Welsersheim is a Baroque Graz city palace at the corner of Hans-Sachs alley and at the Iron Gate in the district of Inner City. Today in the premises, inter alia, the bookstore Moser is housed.
History
The paymaster count Sigmund von Stubenberg gave the order to build the palace which was built according to plans by Joachim Carlone 1689-1694. The property, along which led the former city wall, was left to him by the Styrian estates. After the death of count Wolfgang von Stubenberg the palace was bought by count Josef von Welsersheimb, giving the building his name. The house, which was partly rented, remained until 1956 in the possession of the descendants of count Welsersheimb. After the demolition of the Graz city fortification the family bought the neighboring Landschaftsbastei (bastion - Landstände: The "Landstände/Landschaft" were the political representatives of the estates of the realm in the German Empire in the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period, as opposed to their respective territorial lords (the "Landesherrn")) and had built a terrace garden. To 1812 lived Louis Bonaparte, a brother of Napoleon, at the Palais Welsersheimb. In 1861 the building was enlarged and created a carriage house with the associated stables.
The tenants of the Palais were from 1911 the Bohemian Union Bank, between 1924 and 1957 the restaurant Reif. After the partial destruction of the east wing by bombs during World War II, bought the shoe factory Humanic 1956 the Palais, but sold it only three years later to the Austrian Länderbank. Under this ownership began the restoration of the affected by the disaster east wing. Since the spring of 2005, the majority of the palace is used by the bookstore Moser.
Architecture and design
The Palais Welsersheimb is a four-storey building with a U-shaped floor plan. The façade design of the representative palace building was under the influence of Andrea Palladio and Vincenzo Scamozzi. The large portal was built by master stonemason Bernhard Leykhauff and stems from the construction of the palace. Interesting are in addition to the facade stucco the frescoes in the vestibules with various scenes from Ovid's Metamorphoses and the staircase to the left near the gate with its Tuscan, Ionic and Corinthian columns and balustrades.
Das Palais Welsersheimb ist ein barockes Grazer Stadtpalais an der Ecke Hans-Sachs-Gasse und Am Eisernen Tor im Bezirk Innere Stadt. Heute ist in den Räumlichkeiten unter anderem die Buchhandlung Moser untergebracht.
Gschichte
Der Kriegszahlmeister Graf Sigmund von Stubenberg gab den Auftrag zum Bau des Palais, das nach den Plänen von Joachim Carlone von 1689 bis 1694 errichtet wurde. Das Grundstück, an dem die ehemalige Stadtmauer entlangführte, wurde ihm von den steirischen Ständen überlassen. Nach dem Tod des Grafen Wolfgang von Stubenberg wurde das Palais von Graf Josef von Welserheimb gekauft, der dem Gebäude seinen Namen verlieh. Das Haus, von dem Teile vermietet wurden, blieb bis 1956 im Besitz der Nachkommen des Grafen Welsersheimb. Nach dem Abbruch der Grazer Stadtbefestigung kaufte die Familie die angrenzende Landschaftsbastei und ließ einen Terrassengarten errichten. Um 1812 wohnte Louis Bonaparte, ein Bruder Napoleons, im Palais Welsersheimb. Im Jahr 1861 wurde das Gebäude vergrößert und eine Wagenremise mit den dazugehörigen Stallungen angelegt.
Die Mieter des Palais waren ab 1911 die Böhmische Unionsbank, von 1924 bis 1957 das Restaurant Reif. Nach der teilweisen Zerstörung des Ostflügels durch Fliegerbomben im Zweiten Weltkrieg, kaufte die Schuhfabrik Humanic 1956 das Palais, verkaufte es aber nur drei Jahre später an die Österreichische Länderbank weiter. Unter diesem Eigentümer begann die Restaurierung des in Mitleidenschaft gezogenen Ostflügels. Seit dem Frühjahr 2005 wird der Großteil des Palais von der Buchhandlung Moser benutzt.
Architektur und Gestaltung
Das Palais Welsersheimb ist ein viergeschossiger Bau mit U-förmigem Grundriss. Die Fassadengestaltung des repräsentativen Palastbaus stand unter dem Einfluss Andrea Palladios und Vincenzo Scamozzis. Das große Portal wurde vom Steinmetzmeister Bernhard Leykhauff errichtet und stammt aus der Bauzeit des Palais. Sehenswert sind neben dem Fassadenstuck die Fresken in den Vorsälen mit diversen Darstellungen aus Ovids Metamorphosen und das Stiegenhaus links neben der Toreinfahrt mit seinen toskanischen, ionischen und korinthischen Pfeilern und Balustraden.

This is the back of the postcard I left at the coffee shop for some random person to take. I don't know if it's true or not, but it's sure fun to hope that they are.
