This strange mechanism is located on the dam at our local park. Looks like it's part of dam's mechanism although i can't find anything that resembles mechanical parts except of this one. A dam is built of rocks, so no moving parts there too.

I found these two in our local park. The lizard was running and carrying another lizard in his mouth! Now i wonder: is it cannibalism or what? I mean well, cats are carrying their children in a somewhat same way, so maybe it's something similar or they really eating each other?
Photos are far from perfect: i was in hurry to catch this scene and used F8 - too open for shots like these. Had to use F11 to get a greater DOF.

I almost gave up trying to make this shot: hard wind made the water rippled, so i had to wait couple of hours to finally make this one. Don't know if i like it yet.

Run something right before login prompt with inittab. In my case it's setterm which clears the screen and changes the tty font color to «old-school» bold green as i like.

Open /etc/inittab and find this block of code:

Add the following right after 'getty' on each line:


So it looks like this:


Reboot and enjoy!

I can only guess how old the tree is.

I proud to say that both photos are featured on Panoramio: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/20665815, http://www.panoramio.com/photo/20665828 and were selected for Google Earth!
