elephants have never been truly domesticated: the male elephant in his periodic condition of musth is dangerous and difficult to control. Therefore, elephants used by humans have typically been female, war elephants being an exception; as female elephants in battle will run from a male, only males could be used in war. It is generally more economical to capture wild young elephants and tame them than to breed them in captivity.

Все-таки у литро привлекательный дизайн.:)
Камера удобная и качество фоток порадует даже любителей лейки.

Окликнет эхо давним прозвищем,
И ляжет снег покровом пряничным,
Когда я снова стану маленьким,
А мир опять большим и праздничным,
Когда я снова стану облаком,
Когда я снова стану зябликом,
Когда я снова стану маленьким,
И снег опять запахнет яблоком,
Меня снесут с крылечка, сонного,
И я проснусь от скрипа санного,
Когда я снова стану маленьким,
И мир чудес открою заново.
(А.Галич)

“Украинский фотограф Артур Бондарь создал целую коллекцию снимков ветеранов, прошедших Великую Отечественную Войну.
Все портреты он сделал на старенький Polaroid 600, камеру он выбрал не случайно,
с помощью фото он хотел показать, как течет время,
и как быстро уйдут люди, изображенные на фотографиях.”

От себя добавлю…это здорово,что эти люди есть и они всегда будут.

Спасибо всем тем,кто сражался за наше настоящее и будущее.

Konyukhov has set world records, notably crossing the Atlantic Ocean in a single row-boat in 46 days, the best 24-hour passage in the same boat (110 miles), crossing about 800 km for 15 days and 22 hours during a Trans-Greenland dog sleigh ride.

Впервые публикую здесь пост подобной тематики.
Федор Конюхов удивителен и за это,пожалуй,стоит уважать его в первую очередь.
Приятно осознавать,что в мире есть такие люди,которые могут перевернуть твои взгляды на жизнь и мир в целом.

I just came to say hello.:)

The world we save

In many cultures, the fox appears in folklore as a symbol of cunning and trickery, or as a familiar animal possessed of magic powers.

Among the many animals worshipped by the Chinese, those at times seen emerging from coffins or graves naturally hold a prominent place. They are supposed to be the transmigrated souls of deceased human beings. We should therefore expect such animals as the fox, stoat, weasel, etc., to be closely associated with the worship of ghosts, spirits, and suchlike creatures, and that they should be the subjects of, or included in, a large number of Chinese legends. This we find. Of these animals the fox is mentioned in Chinese legendary lore perhaps more often than any other.


P.S. I don’t understand people who hate animals!

Me gusta el viento, me gustas tu. Me gusta sonar, me gustas tu. 
Me gusta la mar, me gustas tu.
