Dusty Rose Lake (British Columbia): Located in Tweedsmuir Provincial Park, this is a truly pink, non-saline freshwater lake. Its color is caused by suspended sediments (glacial rock flour) from the surrounding landscape.
Kinda looks like you can’t get there from here, as they say…
No roads to it, not even hiking trails. Just a pink dot on a map, and when you click the link to a closer view, instead of bringing it into focus, even the dot disappears.
Not a single picture of it.
It’s almost like the article is purposely evasive.
I don’t think it really is, cos Wikipedia is constantly edited by antibody who wants to do it. It’s probably just that the lake is hard to reach and maybe to photograph as well.
The lake is described as having no oxygen at all in the water, so nothing lives in it… no fish, no plants, not even microorganisms.
I wanted to see the color, to see how different it looks from the salty ones.
One picture I found on a couple of other sites, outside of Wikipedia, shows a rather barren landscape, with a pale, brownish pink lake… But it doesn’t look like a BC landscape, and further, the same image is identified elsewhere as being a lake in Africa!
It looks so fragile… but it’s been strong enough to stand for over 120 years.
This was 1902, maybe 1903, and it was completed in 1905.
It was built by and for The New York Times, but that big sign on the narrow end says “To Let”. That’s because the Times didn’t use the retail spaces at ground level, but rented them for stores.
The early 16th century angel roof at St. Wendreda’s in March, Cambridgeshire. Sir John Betjeman said it was ‘worth cycling forty miles into a headwind to see’. High praise indeed.

Hullo Spot.

Lake Retba, a naturally pink lake in Senegal.
Before I searched, I thought it was going to be one of the pink lakes in Australia that I searched another time.
There are more pink lakes in the world than I ever thought, especially as I would have thought there were none.
Most, like this one, are very salty, and are pink because of salt-loving pink algae… but I read that there’s a fresh water one in Canada.
There is.

Thanks!
Somehow I missed this.

An incredibly varied output.
I’ve seen 6 out of these 10… plus Spartacus, so I know not every one of his films is on this list.
Some are all time favorites, yet there are 4 here that I have no desire to see (Full Metal Jacket and the last three.)

OMG… I read this wrong at first, and it meant something utterly.. um… let’s just say incorrect… blush.

That’s some kick.
Remember, there’s her womb and all her abdominal muscles in between that little foot and mama’s skin.
Beckham?
I wasn’t sure if this was even possible..
I’m actually not either.
There seem to be a few pics of it on google.

“La Mort aux Trousses” is a French idiom, translated as “Death At The Heels”, meaning “death on one’s/your heels”, ie, death chasing you.
If that isn’t enough levels to the translation…. I understand the expression, but heels in French are les talons, not les trousses.
I only know un trousse as a bag or kit, like a sewing kit, a carpenter’s bag… un trousse de medicin… a doctor’s bag. .
Anybody speak better French than me? It’s a pretty low bar.
Better translation than “The Death with Trousers” …… 😉
Death in Breeches.

That’ll do it.
It’s been a few thousand years, so probably not.
never!

Harbor seal?
It’s actually a Saimaa ringed seal (saimaannorppa in Finnish), considered the most endangered seal in the world.
It lives only in Lake Saimaa, in Finland, and today there are only about 400 left.
A Finnish conservation group sells textiles woven by artisans in the pattern of their rings, to raise funds for their preservation.
Oh my!
I didn’t know Daisy was that kind of
girl…. er… duck.you’ve never heard of the phrase ….uh….
oh ,never mind
Doesn’t compare to the dancers at superball half time show.

I said the other day that when I look at some photos, they have a certain look that tells me they’re probably from that show.
That doesn’t mean I recognize every photo from it.
This one I didn’t.
It’s from a 1961 episode called “Deaths-Head Revisited”.
When the sadistic camp commander revisits Dachau after the war, Becker and other murdered inmates rise up to put him on trial

Point made?
Daddy may be the King of the Jungle… but nobody messes with Mama.
The power behind the throne.
And if he doesn’t behave, in front of it, too.
bad ass mama

Very interesting.
I’ve recognized his art for years, and didn’t remember his name.
He invented the iconic and often repeated first cover for the New Yorker.
I could dredge up another one.. but I’d get some whacks from Clara.
P.s. what’rwe gonna do with “sedge”? I can’t wedge it in anywhere.
