Bored Panda… Flickr Screenshots and Photos… The Age… and the Goodreads Quote of the Day (which I get a day late, for some unknown reason!) Wherever and whenever I see something “interesting”, novel, or “rant worthy”, you’ll probably see it too – in here… 😉

AS SEEN ON Bored Panda – July 18th, 2015
When we played World of Warcraft, many years ago, there was an zone (area) called “Northrend” that we adventured in. Part of that zone was called “Howling Fjord” and this Bored Panda set of photos are really and truly the “real life” version of the places depicted in “Howling Fjord” – especially the first one! Enjoy! 🙂

I downloaded a new Windowblind yesterday (see blog post “Winter’s log, earthdate 201507.05” (I think – it might have been the one before! Sorry!)) which is a lovely soft, minty green – I’ve made a desktop wallpapery-thingy to go with it – here it is – what do you think?

Truly it is written: “What has been seen cannot be unseen!” – Did we really find these things… attractive?! These things have to be seen to be believed (though you may have nightmares for the rest of your life! 😉 )

For anyone who likes, or is interested in birds – especially pigeons 🙂 What a talented artist this person is – though I think the artwork would have looked better without what appear to be… er… “bird droppings” all over the place. Still, they’re brilliant pieces of art! This one’s for you, Josh! 🙂
As Seen On Bored Panda – May 18th, 2015
These photos are just amazing! Some of them must have taken split-second timing, as some of the outcomes, though very natural, would have been… ummm… delicious? 😉
