Beauty of the Northern Lights

Photo from: http://en.wikipedia.org

To start the year with something beautiful, I posted a photo of an aurora borealis. This wonderful photo is taken    from an article and is shot as it shines above Bear Lake, Alaska. They really look like green curtains in the northern sky. It is said that auroras, like the one  above are caused by the collision of charged particles from solar winds and particles in the Earth's atmosphere. This collision causes the wonderful scenery. It can only be seen near the poles because of Earth's magnetosphere. I hope you enjoy it.

Want to live with sheep?

If your answer is yes, then you should see this. This is a very nice photo I obtained when scanning my news feeds. The photo caption only says "New Zealand". I am pretty sure you relate it with the hobbit houses from a fiction movie. There are a lot of this photos from website's* album

Moving Rocks?

           I have read about these rocks on the internet and I think this can be a good post for my first blog. The photo* above is just one of the proof that these rocks did move. These rocks are said to move in long tracks along the smooth valley floor of Racetrack Playa, Death Valley. They move without any human or animal moving it. This is interesting because, until now, no one has ever seen them to move. However, as I said before, there is a proof that they really move on their own. Photos of these rocks like the one above show the tracks where they traveled. 

        This phenomenon is still studied according to one article. I am not sure If it is true or not. Whichever the case, please leave a comment and ideas about these so-called "Moving rocks."
