This is Daniel's lantus pen. We get short needles for the pen, but we were having problems with bleeding & leak back on the bigger shot. I take the lantus out of the pen with a regular needle and Daniel takes his shot that way.

Our Everest base camp trek is an incredible trek that offers sensational mountain views and an understanding into the lives of the Sherpa individuals. Subsequent to investigating the sanctuaries, altars, bazaars and eateries of Kathmandu we take an exciting mountain flight to Lukla and trek up the Dudh Kosi Valley, encompassed by the taking off tops of Thamserku and Kusum Kanguru. It's a precarious climb to Namche Bazaar, capital of the Kumbu Sherpas, where we are again welcomed by breathtaking mountain vistas. A rest day here guides acclimatization and there are incredible discretionary strolls to appreciate the territory. We then take after the trail to acclaimed Tengboche, found high on an edge where a radiant 360-degree scene is standing by. The perspectives of Everest, the Lhotse-Nuptse Wall, Ama Dablam and Kantega rule this serene and profound area – without a doubt a standout amongst the most quiet and motivating spots on the planet. globalholidaysadventure.com/

Three Hawks and an Owl standing by ready for take-off
On a more taxonomic note: the Hawks are Nephele comma forma derasa. They are commonly called the Comma Hawk, based on a white comma shaped mark in the forwing. However the derasa form actually lacks this mark completely or just, as in these three, show a tiny white point. More a Full-stop Hawk really in this case.
The Owl (Noctuidae) is a bit more of a mystery. Any suggestions there would be much appreciated
PB Dragon is the site of a half finished Iraqi power generation plant. The russians were building it and abandoned it when the war kicked off. It was very kewl to stay overnight in the large tower and wake-up to the sight of the Euphrates .

Chalcopyrite-pyrrhotite-magnetite from the Precambrian of Ontario, Canada. (~3.5 centimeters across along the base)
Dull brassy & brownish-brassy area at center to lower right = pyrrhotite
Tarnished brassy gold along the perimeter = chalcopyrite
This massive sulfide sample is from Ontario's Sudbury Mining District, which is famous for its economically-significant nickel- and copper-bearing minerals. The Sudbury area is actually a tectonically deformed, very large impact structure - it is the # 3 largest preserved impact structure on Earth (the # 1 largest is Vredefort in South Africa; the # 2 largest is Chicxulub in Yucatan, Mexico). The Sudbury Impact occurred about 1.85 billion years ago, during the late Paleoproterozoic. The Sudbury Impact Structure is no longer circular or subcircular in shape - it's been compessed into a stretched-egg shape from an ancient continental collision event.
The dominant mineral in this specimen is chalcopyrite - CuFeS2 (copper iron sulfide). Also present are pyrrhotite - Fe(1-x)S (imperfect iron monosulfide) and magnetite - Fe3O4 (iron oxide), both of which will stick to a magnet.
Mineralization age: syn-impact or early post-impact, late Paleoproterozoic, 1.85 Ga
Locality: Creighton Mine, Sudbury Mining District, southeastern Ontario, southeastern Canada
