Following the first two parts of the story of the dancing bears, here is the final scene: walking home alone into the sunset.
Polar Bear Trilogy
Month: February 2010
Argument at sunset
You may have seen the post below, the waltzing polar bears.
Well maybe there isn’t a happy ending, since they ended up having quite an argument that went on well into the night.
Dancing Polar Bears
Ice-dancing. Wonder what kind of dance it is, surely not a foxtrot.
Skeleton gold medal
Britain’s 9th gold medal in the Winter Olympics! I mean ninth in total, since the first ever winter olympics in 1924.
Pluto 2
In answer to my question ‘why is Pluto reddening?’ I got some information about a NASA site that gives a possible explanation, here it is:
“These changes are most likely consequences of surface ices sublimating on the sunlit pole and then refreezing on the other pole as the dwarf planet heads into the next phase of its 248-year-long seasonal cycle. The dramatic change in color apparently took place in a two-year period, from 2000 to 2002.”
I also read that taking good pictures of Pluto is not at all simple. One astronomer said it is like taking a photo of a soccer ball from about 70 km away.
Rio Carnival
Probably not so many people here who are interested in the winter Olympics.
What a colourful occasion.
Condor
Especially for Valentines Day. It may not be pretty, but it is pink: the Californian Condor.
