Hunderte Golden Retriever versammeln sich in den schottischen Highlands

Golden Gathering in Schottland.

Hundreds of golden retrievers, and their owners, have gathered at the Highland ancestral home of the breed.

The first golden retriever puppies were born at Guisachan House in Glen Affric 155 years ago.

They were bred by aristocrat Sir Dudley Marjoribanks, who wanted a gun dog suited to Scottish Highland terrain.

Owners from across the UK, continental Europe, North America, Australia and Japan have been meeting at the ruins of Guisachan House.

Passport Index

Der Passport Index listet die Pässe aus 199 Ländern der Welt und zeigt, dass man sich international trotz verschiedener Farben auf eine gemeinsame Optik einigen konnte.

However, not all passports are equal. The Passport Index ranks them from most powerful (United Arab Emirates) to least (Afghanistan). The determining factor is the Mobility Score, which is based on the number of countries you can enter with the least visa hassles.

Und weiter:

„Blue passports often symbolize the ’new world,‘ free markets and the ocean. Red covers tend to be associated with Communist countries or Christian history, while green is often the color of choice among Muslim countries because it has religious significance.“
„As the rarest color, black tends to symbolize local culture or politics and, on a practical level, hides wear and tear.“

Ein Salzwasserkrokodil von oben

Neulich in Australien. Schöne Perspektive für derartige Aufnahmen. Und wie gelassen der Drache patrouilliert.

I recorded the locally famous saltwater crocodile ‚The Gatekeeper,‘ who has been living on the south side of the Diversion Dam wall in Kununurra for many years. He is a very large 5 metre or so crocodile. When I took this video, he was swimming towards the dam where people were in their boats fishing for barramundi.
