POPSa spongebob christmas to my clipper friends Once we used to fight over smaller problems Collecting money and drinking together Once we used to share our sadness drinking tea near old hotels Helping each other with assignments Feeling bored with never changing climates Those golden times will never again come, beloved friends But I will still remember you just being there Looking towards one another and cracking jokes to one another Happy holidays to my beloved friends For now, forever in eternity Either you belong here or you live in other lands Friendship goes far beyond any lands or boundaries Our love will remain forever floating Like the wind in the lonely desert Just want to drop few lines and say Happy, happy holidays to my beloved friends Either near or far, either on the Internet or in some foreign lands Either near me or never with me I know you all belong very close to me Happy holidays to my all beloved friends

POPSGreylag Goose Photographed Flying Upside Down When geese come in to land from a great height they partake in a bout of whiffling, this involves the bird twisting and turning to spill air from their wings and thus lowering their speed prior to landing.

I have, however, never seen a photograph of a bird in mid-whiffle like this. It is an amazing photograph."
