Figured out someone would know for sure.
But that worked. Gotta get one, excellent gift for a SW fan friend.
At first I thought this was a new invention (?) that would have ice inside a container that you'd put in your drink, and it would cool it down without watering down your drink. I thought that'd be cool as shit.
Wut? You can buy little ice cube shaped containers you stick in the freezer. I don't know if water is in them or that blue liquid that we had in our lunchboxes since kindergarten.At first I thought this was a new invention (?) that would have ice inside a container that you'd put in your drink, and it would cool it down without watering down your drink.

Hmm, what's happening in this one? Looks like maybe time lapse of a nebula or something, sped up?
That's actually how she looks now, sans make up and lenses.

Girl you're so groovy.
Been liking your pics lately Melchiah.
Hey I visited that place a few years ago.Fort Bourtange, the village of Bourtange, Groningen, Netherlands.
Quoted for size.
Hey I visited that place a few years ago.
Look up "Brielle" on Google maps, since there aren't any high quality aerial pictures unfortunately. It's a bigger fortified city near where I live. As a matter of fact, my mother works in Brielle.
It's called a Vauban Fortress, after the pioneering designer.The Copenhagen fortress, which I've visited when I was a child, is similar as well.

A spider that builds elaborate, fake spiders and hangs them in its web has been discovered in the Peruvian Amazon.
Believed to be a new species in the genus Cyclosa, the arachnid crafts the larger spider from leaves, debris and dead insects. Though Cyclosa includes other sculpting arachnids, this is the first one observed to build a replica with multiple, spidery legs.
Scientists suspect the fake spiders serve as decoys, part of a defense mechanism meant to confuse or distract predators. It seems like a really well evolved and very specialized behavior, said Phil Torres, who described the find in a blog entry written for Rainforest Expeditions. Torres, a biologist and science educator, divides his time between Southern California and Peru, where hes involved in research and education projects.
Considering that spiders can already make really impressive geometric designs with their webs, its no surprise that they can take that leap to make an impressive design with debris and other things, he said.
In September, Torres was leading visitors into a floodplain surrounding Perus Tambopata Research Center, located near the western edge of the Amazon. From a distance, they saw what resembled a smallish, dead spider in a web. It looked kind of flaky, like the fungus-covered corpse of an arthropod.
But then the flaky spider started moving.
A closer looked revealed the illusion. Above the 1-inch-long decoy sat a much smaller spider. Striped, and less than a quarter-inch long, the spider was shaking the web. It was unlike anything Torres had ever seen. It blew my mind, he said.
...
I have never seen a structure just like this, said William Eberhard, an entomologist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and University of Costa Rica who studies spiders and web-building.

Not sure. It's made by artist Jorge Rodriquez-Gerada here in the Netherlands. Part of the kick-off of a campaign to get attention for female human right activists.
