Meerkat manor

Isn't he great !? I love meerkats, maybe it's a leftover after Lion King...who knows ( remember Timon ? :D ) After i watched The Meerkat Manor documentary on BBC i was quite stunned, i didn't realise their social life is so complex ( more than some of my friends )
And finally the time has come for a real life encounter , in Flamingo Park , on Isle Of Wight

Insane tourists in Paris ..man i wish you could see that, they were jumping out of the couch in hordes and photographing every thing...EVERY SINGLE THING..i'm not kidding
i always thpught that was a myth, but its not..they're insane and it's hilarious to watch.
The problem is deeper though..

PARIS (Reuters) - Around a dozen Japanese tourists a year need psychological treatment after visiting Paris as the reality of unfriendly locals and scruffy streets clashes with their expectations, a newspaper reported on Sunday.

...Already this year, Japan's embassy in Paris has had to repatriate at least four visitors -- including two women who believed their hotel room was being bugged and there was a plot against them.

Previous cases include a man convinced he was the French "Sun King", Louis XIV, and a woman who believed she was being attacked with microwaves, the paper cited Japanese embassy official Yoshikatsu Aoyagi as saying.

"Fragile travellers can lose their bearings. When the idea they have of the country meets the reality of what they discover it can provoke a crisis," psychologist Herve Benhamou told the paper.

The phenomenon, which the newspaper dubbed "Paris Syndrome", was first detailed in the psychiatric journal Nervure in 2004.

Bernard Delage of Jeunes Japon, an association that helps Japanese families settle in France, said:

"In Japanese shops, the customer is king, whereas here assistants hardly look at them ... People using public transport all look stern, and handbag snatchers increase the ill feeling."

A Japanese woman, Aimi, told the paper:

"For us, Paris is a dream city. All the French are beautiful and elegant ... And then, when they arrive, the Japanese find the French character is the complete opposite of their own."

Calm

Lake District in Cumbria is without a doubt the most beautiful place in England i visited so far .
The weather wasn't great but i went there in winter for a reason - no tourists .. peace and quiet, no buses, no people, no mobile phones. Highly recommended

Boiler room

Dead at last...just leave me alone and shut the door on your way out

Fasten your seatbelt

The tricky part was getting the light right, i took both pictures the same day but the weather got changed and it shows
Apart from that, pretend to fall without actually falling and making it lok convincing is not super easy either :)

Lights off

First time i played with shutter speed and light during the night trip to Waterloo bride. The busiest place ever, i will never go there again, but the view is seriously tempting ...
Now i know what i did wrong with these photos and i'll probably make it different this time, but i still like them

Do not disturb

This beautiful lady right here is the Mud Maid and she's guarding ( not very effectivelly ) The Lost Gardens of Heligan , in Cornwall.
The sleeping Mud Maid was created by local artists Sue Hill and her brother, Pete. This, and their other mud sculpture The Giant's Head, were designed to enhance the woodland experience, following the fashion of Victorian ornamentation.

The birds dude...they're huuugeee
