What is Going On?

[Kitty KCMO]

I think that the people who do these things are very sick in their minds or personalities. They often have a mistaken idea that they will somehow be celebrities remembered forever by society if they do a shocking mass murder. I think perhaps they are so cut off from natural life & social congress, & overwhelmed by stresses of modern societies, that they just snap in anger & alienation. Unfortunately, other people are not seen as valuable & precious to them, but only as props to be used in some strange, sick movie in their minds.

We have a new webcam - A panoramic view of Tallinn city centre and view of the harbour, and a ravens nest!
There are chicks in the nest, about a week old.

At The Botanical Gardens of The Unversity of Basle today a very unusual flower is due to open.
It is an amorphophallus titanum ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amorphophallus_titanum )
You can see some images here; http://www.google.fr/search?q=amorphoph ... 24&bih=621
BUT the event can be followed online at this address;
http://titanwurz.unibas.ch/webcam.php

The webcam renews every 10 mins. Don't let the name of the flower frighten you.

Thank you Macdoum for posting this. I open this cam several times a day. Seems there is big interest, a lot of groups visiting .

Don't know where to post this, if it is seen and it is very short notice, but I just discovered, that German TV NDR3 will show something on the Baltic States right now in their "mare TV"! Maybe some Germans can see this program?

[Felis silvestris]

It was very interesting, short chapters on the different countries, about lampreys in Lithuania, a bear on the island of Ruhnu, the boarder patrol between Lietuva and Russia and in the end about the ships of Käsmu

http://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/sendungen/m ... 75040.html and in a while NDR will have the program in their Mediathek: http://www.ndr.de/flash/mediathek/index.html for those who are still interested to see, even if it is in German!

A new webcam in Estonia (courtesy of Estonian University of Life Sciences in Tartu): Swallow

Sorry, but I din't find a better place for it, as I can't open new topics anymore.

[Jo UK]

Thanks, Arvi.
It won't open for me. It says there is an error, but I don't know what error.

[Arvi]

Thanks, Arvi.
It won't open for me. It says there is an error, but I don't know what error.

Currently it isn't working for me too - but it worked before. Maybe you try tomorrow again.

It works for me now - not much to see though, just a little picture of the nest from outside... The adult is there, one can hear her singing and see her watching out from the nest sometimes. :peek:

Its a lovely flower but the cam is buffering a lot here. Only stays on a few moments. Still I could see it. I wish I could smell it too. Has a lovely fragrance they say.
