The 5 Best (and Worst) Woodies Ever Made

The 5 Best (and Worst) Woodies Ever Made | Päivät | Scoop.it
Once the mark of quality craftsmanship, wood paneling on cars became a phony vinyl travesty in the 70s and 80s. We remember the glory days of the woodie—and the ignominious era of faux wood.

The Tufa Towers of Mono Lake

The Tufa Towers of Mono Lake | Päivät | Scoop.it

Mono Lake in California is a strange place to say the least. However, unlike many bizarre places in the world this strange environment is caused by us.

In the early nineteen forties the city of Los Angeles was growing quickly. The Second World War was in full flow and when it came to the environment it was felt that some things could be neglected. The LA Department of Water and Power began diverting the lakes streams three hundred and fifty miles to the south. The damage to the environment would be untold. Paradoxically it would leave the area eerily beautiful – like some alien backdrop from an episode of Star Trek.  At some points in the year a soap-like layer forms on the top of the lake.

Here's looking at dew: The dragonflies which pose for their picture as they take their daily shower | Päivät | Scoop.it
Macro photography, as demonstrated here by David Chambon, a photographer working in Doubs in eastern France, requires a decent light-source - and in this case it is the dew which helps out.

Exploring the Secret Nuclear Complexes of the Manhattan Project

Exploring the Secret Nuclear Complexes of the Manhattan Project | Päivät | Scoop.it

B Reactor Control Console, Source of Nagasaki Bomb Plutonium, Hanford Nuclear Reservation, WA 1944

“It is an enduring paradox and essential human tragedy that so much selfless devotion to a cause, so much creative intellectual energy, and so many good intentions gave birth to such a monstrous reality.” These are the words of photographer Martin Miller uses to describe the Manhattan Project, the United States government program that ran from 1942 to 1945 and resulted in the world’s first nuclear weapons. Miller explored two of the facilities that were central to this program, and which were top secret in their time, taking the pictures featured here. It’s amazing to think that within these walls, work was undertaken that would end the lives of thousands.

The Attack on Pearl Harbor in Pictures

The Attack on Pearl Harbor in Pictures | Päivät | Scoop.it

December 7th, 1941 began like most other Sunday mornings at the Unites States Naval base in Pearl Harbor, on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. Yet the tranquility of dawn spreading across the tropical waters would not last long.

Shortly before 8:00 am, the lagoon harbor experienced the devastation of a surprise attack that saw five battleships sunk, over a dozen other vessels run aground or damaged, 188 airplanes destroyed, and as many as 2,402 Americans killed, with another 1,282 wounded. Yet a list of such Pearl Harbor facts does little justice to the destruction that was meted out that day. One can only imagine what it must have been like to be there. Unquenchable fires raged aboard the stricken American craft that day, a nation was stunned, and the course of history was inexorably altered.

Tying the knot is such a testing yet exciting time.  Many little details to check and consider; not to mention the massive expense.  Families come together, some having never met yet meeting for the first time during such an important occasion.  Whilst tensions run high, it is essential to keep sight of what’s important and relax and enjoy the process and not let little things grow arms and legs. After all it is the bride and grooms day and you can not please everyone.

The 10 Weirdest-Named Shark Species

The 10 Weirdest-Named Shark Species | Päivät | Scoop.it

The bowmouth guitarfish is actually a ray, though due to its shark-like body is sometimes called a shark ray. It's just about the coolest-looking shark there is (science). It's found all over the tropical sections of the Pacific and Indian Oceans, and survives well in captivity--but is relatively rare, due to accidental catch, fishing (its fins are eaten in some Asian countries), and habitat destruction.
