As we’re now on Page 3!!

In the UK, mentioning ‘Page 3’ (Of The Sun Newspaper) meant something very ‘Female Form’ orientated to persons over a certain age…… ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_3 for the history)

Leaving all that to one side, have some puppies.

By Google Translate: the article that goes with this video.
She’s not a professional photographer and she’s really excited about her subject too.

This is the one I meant on Saturday.
The attachment is where the video takes place.


 
Cetaceans in the sea of Puglia. New sighting of a sperm whale in the Gulf of Taranto. After the one in January 2025, emotion and disbelief in Taranto where a specimen was sighted 15 miles from the coast. This is how the marine ecosystem is changing. The sperm whale is in fact one of the largest animals on our planet and spotting it is very rare because it spends most of its time in the depths, far from the surface A wonderful sea, or rather two seas, the Adriatic and the Ionian that surround the Salento peninsula and that hide priceless treasures that reveal the state of health of our waters that deserve maximum protection and safeguard from any form of human aggression. This time, in fact, on the morning of Thursday 22 May 2025 at 9:45, a specimen of a sperm whale appeared on the surface of the sea that was moving placidly, almost as if grazing and feeding on plankton 15 miles from the coast of Taranto. A scene that lasted over half an hour and was videotaped by some yachtsmen on a sailing boat, who during a quiet outing found themselves in front of the enormous cetacean. In the video you can see the sperm whale emerging from the water with its dorsal fin and then diving into the depths leaving its caudal fin on the surface for a brief “greeting” to the spectators. The moment, accompanied by the sound of the waves, is not rare along the Taranto coast. The scene immediately aroused emotion and disbelief among those who were lucky enough to observe it both live and on video, the latter began to circulate quickly on social networks, shared by many users enthusiastic about this encounter with nature. Spectacular sightings that are following one another after the one on 4/12/24 and January 2025, the first one occurred a short distance away in the Mar Grande of TARANTO about 5 miles from the coast. A sperm whale approached as far as the coast of the Island of San Pietro, at PUNTA LA FORCA. Just a few days ago another spectacular sighting occurred, that of a fin whale off the coast of Otranto. So not only dolphins, fin whales and Risso’s whales, but also sperm whales, sightings continue in the Gulf of Taranto, in the Adriatic, in the Strait of Otranto and on the Salento coast. According to Dr. Diana D’Agata, Veterinary Surgeon in the UK and an expert in marine fauna, “A phenomenon due to the tropicalization of the Mediterranean. This is how the marine ecosystem is changing”. With the video, in forwarding it, the Taranto boaters wanted to delight us with a show that says a lot, precisely, about the quality of our waters, notes Giovanni D’Agata, president of the “Sportello dei Diritti”. A specimen so impressive in its size, but equally harmless and placid like our still generous sea and therefore even more to be protected.

From their seeming complete lack of care over the vehicle I’m guessing it was stolen.

A stolen car is one thing not to care about.

But the guy was in it.

This isn’t just recklessness … seems more like stupidity.
Or maybe way too much alcohol.
