Behold!


If ever a picture cried out for the word "Behold!", this may be it. A beautiful photograph of sun striking the Atlantic at Madiera Island, Portugal, one might easily believe either the hand of God or a UFO is involved in its creation. Those scientists who aren't baffled, stunned, or amazed will, like most everyone else, tend towards a more rational explanation. However, tuning all of this out, we can simply enjoy the beauty and wish that we had been there to see it for ourselves before the clouds closed in.


These stunning photos can be found at the Madiera Blog, along with many other evocative pictures. Here's another favorite of mine, capturing the roiling intensity of a storm at night as it threatens Garajau.

Coincidentally, I just posted about Madeira Island. Apparently,the mice there are a great example of speciation. Human settlers brought over house mice during their initial colonization 500 years ago. Since then, 6 new species of mice have arisen there. These mice can no longer interbreed making them truly new species. Of course speciation is something the IDiots say has never been observed.

Bitcoin Crypto Investment
My investment experience with bitcoins. 
There is no doubt that bitcoin is a trend today and there is a lot of success in the business world, because people prefer to save money in their wallets than in banks, last summer I lost about $54,000 due to the fall in the price of bitcoins. A colleague at work who knew my suffering in the field of bitcoin savings led me (aulakhkrupinder@gmail.com   ) where I can store and invest my bitcoins with more than 100% profit margin. At first I was skeptical, so I decided to try it for just $500. I was amazed after 12 hours I made another $1,500 and was able to make an immediate withdrawal and since then I have invested and made more money. Investing bitcoins with aulakhkrupinder@gmail.com   changed my life when I made more than $176,000. You can contact :aulakhkrupinder@gmail.com  to Enjoy endless possibilities.
