I think Israel has no business attacking Iran. Sure the Iranian government threatens to whipe Israel of the map, and sure they have recently anounced some alarming nuclear news... But I wonder if this nuclear threat to Israel is so realistic, and I think there is no solid ground for starting some kind of dangerous war at the moment, which would escalade in pro and con Israel-countries starting an even bigger mess.

But luckily there´s always snow in the North pole (global warming is taking longer then we thought ) so we won´t have to worry for now

I found these photos posted on some forum to make fun of Turkish people, but I think there is nothing to be ashamed of in them some of them are hilarious

Eclipse in Antalya:

This one cracked me up:

I mean what the hell..Beating on metals is some kinda pagan tradition or something to make evil spirits go away, I can understand that but shooting at the sun?

absolutely loved your pics!!!

what are they covering themselves with in the pic #6?

i didnt know the turkish police shields are as good as sunglasses!

I have no idea tbh. As for the policemen, I think that blue paint around the word "polis" is semi-transparent or something.

 They are sunglasses, sleds, doors, window shutters, table tops, water collectors, if you have enough, you can even build a small shelter out of them.  PLEAZZZZZE, lemon, these are TURKISH policemen....they are not ordinary policemen!  Did somebody squeeze your head again?

 .... and, lets not forger they are also solar eclipse glasses.

loved it, liz!

your posts aer as usually fantastico!

"I promise that if i am elected, Iran will not acquire nuclear arms, and this implies everything necessary to carry out this" Benjamin Netanyahu said before elections. This is another mask similar to the mask used to invade Iraq and shows how zionists created a fear empire all over the world as showing Iran powerful. But i think i agree with you, there had been an economic crisis last year though any of these countries did not decrease defence expenses and arming. And also the countries that have investements in Iran such as France, Russia, China, Korea, Germany etc will not be happy since they sell a product to Iran ten times more expensive because of ongoing embargo.

Lets wait till the snow melts, it takes time in Iran

Airport body scanners violate Islamic law, Muslims say

Saying that body scanners violate Islamic law, Muslim-American groups are supporting a “fatwa” – a religious ruling – that forbids Muslims from going through the scanners at airports.

The Fiqh Council of North America – a body of Islamic scholars that includes some from Michigan – issued a fatwa this week that says going through the airport scanners would violate Islamic rules on modesty.

“It is a violation of clear Islamic teachings that men or women be seen naked by other men and women,” reads the fatwa issued Tuesday. “Islam highly emphasizes haya (modesty) and considers it part of faith. The Quran has commanded the believers, both men and women, to cover their private parts.”

Is this group right or are the moaning? Body scans - not my favourite idea as well - are invented and placed because of increasing terrorism. Should we accept them then, should we stop travelling or is the alternative of a (thorough!) search enough? 

Wow! What a stunning view, this frozen waterfall!
