Enchanted forest with living bridges

Hidden in the depths of Cherrapunji in northeastern India is one of the wettest places on earth. Here, natural habitat grows at a remarkable pace, allowing the people of Cherrapunji – the War-Khasis – to manipulate the vines of trees into bridges.
To guide the tree’s roots and make them grow in the right direction, the Khasis use betel nut trunks, sliced down the middle and hollowed out, to create a system which guides the vines. This method is passed from generation to generation, the bridges always expanding as time goes by, a clever ingenuity which helps create an environment like an enchanted forest.

Orda Cave

I want to show photos from my last project, which is dedicated to Orda Cave – the biggest underwater gypsum cave in the world, second in Eurasia and one of the biggest caves in the world regarding to volumes of its galleries. It is situated near Orda village (Perm region, Ural, Russia). There is extremely low water temperature – about 3C and 20C below zero on surface. The cave is extended - about 5 km. Under this circumstances shooting became very challenging. See more photos in ordacave.ru

The Mercury Theatre on the Air

The finest radio drama of the 1930’s was The Mercury Theatre on the Air, a show featuring the acclaimed New York drama company founded by Orson Welles and John Houseman. In its brief run, it featured an impressive array of talents, including Agnes Moorehead, Bernard Herrmann, and George Coulouris. The show is famous for its notorious War of the Worldsbroadcast, but the other shows in the series are relatively unknown. This site has many of the surviving shows, and will eventually have all of them.

The show first broadcast on CBS and CBC in July 1938. It ran without a sponsor until December of that year, when it was picked up by Campbell’s Soup and renamed The Campbell Playhouse. All of the surviving Mercury Theatre shows are available from this page in RealAudio format (some are also in MP3 format). There are several Campbell Playhouse episodes available here as well, in both RealAudio and MP3 formats; the rest are being added gradually.

Les australopithèques mâles étaient casaniers

Crâne d'Australopithecus afarensis
Une étude publiée hier indique que chez les australopithèques comme chez les chimpanzés ou les bonobos, la femelle avait tendance à changer de groupe en quittant sa famille d’origine, contrairement aux mâles qui restent davantage casaniers.
