Apr. 8th, 2009 06:54 pmI meant to post this a couple of days ago, but forgot. It's all in Dutch, so most of you won't have a clue what's being said (boring stuff about the future plans for the city of Almere), but I thought perhaps some of you would like to see a little of the city where I live.
Oh, as a little bit of trivia, Burgermeester Annemarie Jorritsma is the woman who presented me with my naturalization papers a couple of years back.

Nature is so effing amazing
Jan. 15th, 2009 07:40 pm"It’s no secret that people in the UK are forever complaining about the weather, but it seems this week they were well within their rights. For the first time ever a rare phenomenon usually only seen in extremely cold countries was spotted on the River Otten in Devon.
A massive spinning ice circle caught the attention of Roy Jefferies as he was walking his dog by the river last Wednesday morning. Measuring a whopping 10 ft in diameter, the rotating disc sat stationary in the river where two currents merge.
Mr Jefferies called a friend, Mr Blisset, who lived nearby, and just happens to have an interest in the strange and bizarre. He identified the ice disc as a true rare specimen."
I'd never heard of these before, and assumed it was some kind of "crop circle" type of thing, but apparently it *is* real.
Here's one in Ontario, Canada, that was filmed while spinning.
