PHOTO MOMENT: Cool photos of Rare and Amazing Things
Vijay Shah (editor)

Today’s photo moment comes courtesy of an email forwarded on to me from an old friend and former housemate I lived with until two years ago. The Half-Eaten Mind offers you a selection of photos depicting amazing animals and places that will inspire an equal amount of awe and amazement, with a hefty dollop of cuteness thrown in for good measure.
The pictures you will see here are reproduced exactly as I received them, with original captions maintained. This Photo Moment reminds us of the cool and amazing things that exist in our world and that great photo opportunities are available to everyone. To make and to witness. There are many rare things and sights in this world that many of us will be lucky to see even once in this lifetime. This Photo Moment could be the closest to seeing these spectacular events outside of actually being there.

Awww…that hotel construction in Bora Bora is making me itch for a game of minecraft..LOL…hmm…perhaps I will try to build one similar one inside…love it!!
Minecraft rocks, my friend! Everyday I would watch those videos in YouTube and do you know that there’s a very famous YouTube gaming channel called “Yogscast” in UK?
I am going to sound like (as they say in American teen films) a “total klutz” and admit that I’m not familiar with this YouTube channel, but will take a look on the olde YouTube. May your mines always be productive 🙂
If you are interested in watching gaming videos (besides Minecraft), this channel is one that you can consider because they are so funny and always make me LOL…
Currently I can only play the Pocket Edition (from my hp) and it seems that all I mined was coal and iron…LOL…where are all the gold and diamonds?????
Maybe you can try it some time because cyber mining is very stress relieving…hehe…
Coal and iron…wow..got yourself the ingredients for your very own cyber-miniature Industrial Revolution there!!. I expect, judging from my mate palatial Minecraft mansion, that he may be the reason for your precious metals and stones shortage lol.
Now I’m off on Xmas holidays I should be able to view the Yogscast channel.
Yes maybe I should…too much stress in my job lol.
Thank you!
Heeheehee…I rarely take selfies myself, but I usually end up looking like a slightly deranged monkey 😀
Thanks for your comment and likes, Destino!

The question is, what would they call it? … a zorse…or a hebra.
Hopefully you’ll get a chance again.
