Here are five pictures that I like that are from this week. Enjoy!
This is of the tallest Lighthouse, Cape Hatteras, in North Carolina (and possibly all of the east coast, but I'm not positive about that). I didn't visit the light house during this past trip to NC, but I did go the time before that.
I believe this picture captures nature in her purest sense. It's beautiful yet violent. There a group of penguins seem desolet on the blueiceburg as the harsh sea crashes around them.
Archaeologists discovered the wall painting among the ruins of an 11,000-year-old house in northern Syria—making it the oldest wall painting ever discovered. French archaeologist and team leader Eric Coqueugniot stated that "There was a purpose in having the painting in what looked like a communal house, but we don't know it." This painting and Eric's statement shows the wonderful and frustrating aspects of archaeology.
Scientists explored a deep ocean basin in the Philippines in search of species isolated for millions of years found marine life believed to be previously undiscovered. This basin is believed to have been secluded from the rest of the ocean, both physically and biologically, and thus many of the species have evolved separately. Here are pictures of a Juvenile Box Fish and a Jelly Fish.
