Faith, Amazing Dog With Two Legs


Let's start new year 2017 with Good Post. 

Happy New Year 2017

Faith's life was saved at the early age of only three weeks from his guard dog mother who was literally terminating her life because she was unable to battle the other puppies for a place to feed. She was born with only three legs and one of them that was seriously deformed had to be surgically removed. The poor dog had to adapt and learn to walk and hop on two legs.

National Geographic Photography Contest

As an admirer of photography I have looked forward to the National Geographic Photo Contest for the past couple years. These photographs are truly inspiring.

The submissions seem to keep getting better every year. Split into 3 categories: people, places and nature, photographers submit their photos to be chosen for the voting galleries. So even if you aren’t a photographer, you can still participate by voting for your favourite photographs! As always many of the photographs showcase the awesome power of nature with amazing views of storms, and the intricate colouring of exotic insects.

The Most Amazing Sand Sculptures - Amazing Photos



Carl Jara aka Grain Damaged is an award-winning, professional sand sculptor from Cleveland, Ohio. Jara says he has known since high-school that he wanted to be an artist. After studying Illustration and Graphic Design at the Myers School of Art, Jara realized he did not want to become an illustrator or graphic designer and that his true passion was sculpting. 

Over nine world championships later and it’s clear Jara was right to pursue his desire to sculpt. In addition, Carl is also an Exhibits Artisan/Technician at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History where he helped install Sue, the largest T-Rex ever found. 

To see more of Carl’s incredible sand sculptures, be sure to check out his Flickr page as he documents not only his own award-winning work, but also the other amazing entries at the world-class competitions he attends every year.

Glow in the Dark Bike Lanes are Being Tested in Poland - Solar-Powered


Solar-powered, glow in the dark bike lanes are currently being tested near Lidzbark Warminski in the north of Poland. When fully charged, the synthetic material can provide up to 10 hours of light according to the material’s creators, TPA Instytut Badań Technicznych Sp. z o.o.


The project, while similar in concept to Studio Roosegaarde’s Starry Night Bike Lane, differs in the technology used, as Studio Roosegaarde’s was LED-powered and temporary.

The project is still in the testing phase and it will be interesting to see if the material proves viable for bike paths and other public uses.
