Darwin Day
Darwin Day
Darwin Day marks more than a birthday—it marks a shift in thinking. Charles Darwin"s observations connected variation, the survival of individuals best suited to their environment, and inheritance in ways science still builds on. His legacy rests on years of studying variation—finches, fossils, barnacles—and recognising patterns others had overlooked. When "On the Origin of Species" was published in 1859, it offered a framework explaining how species evolve through natural selection.Desktop Version
Third Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge connecting Laos and Thailand
Third Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge connecting Laos and Thailand
Before bridges, rivers set the pace of travel. Now, with bridges, people do. That shift explains why cross-border links like the Third Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge connecting Laos and Thailand matter. Bridges come in many forms, each built to meet a specific challenge. Arch bridges manage compression, suspension bridges span long distances and concrete box-girder bridges prioritise stability and load efficiency. This bridge uses the box-girder design, making it a practical choice for crossing the wide, fast-moving Mekong River.Desktop Version

The island of Corfu, Greece, meets you at night with a quiet kind of intensity: stone facades catching warm lamplight, fortress walls rising in sharp outline and narrow lanes unfolding like a lived-in labyrinth. The Old Town doesn"t just look historic—it feels inhabited, shaped by centuries of shifting cultures and the slow rhythm of island life after dark.Desktop Version

The leopard cat is a small wild cat found across South, Southeast, and East Asia. Similar in size to a house cat but longer-legged and slenderer, it generally measures 38–76 centimetres long, with a tail about 18–30 centimetres. Depending on the region, adults weigh roughly 0.5–7 kilograms. Their appearance varies widely: southern individuals tend to have warm golden coats, while those farther north often have pale grey fur that thickens for winter.Desktop Version
Happy Valentines Day!
Happy Valentines Day!
Valentine"s Day celebrates the heart in all its forms—love that is bold or tender, hopeful or quietly vulnerable. Few symbols capture this emotion as naturally as the bleeding heart flower, pictured here. With its unmistakable heart-shaped blooms, the plant emerges each spring, growing up to 60 centimetres tall and spreading nearly 75 centimetres wide, creating a graceful, almost poetic display.Desktop Version
World Whale Day
World Whale Day
World Whale Day, observed on the third Sunday of February, began in the 1980s in Hawaii, where communities celebrated the seasonal return of migrating humpback whales. The day gained wider recognition after the International Whaling Commission"s 1986 moratorium on commercial whaling, which marked a major milestone in international whale conservation.Desktop Version
Przewalskis horses
Przewalskis horses
This species missed the domestication memo and kept going on its own terms. Say hello to Przewalski"s horse, considered the last truly wild horse on Earth. Once widespread across Central Asia, it disappeared from the wild in the 1960s after decades of hunting, habitat loss and competition with livestock. Its survival depended on an unlikely lifeline: a small number of individuals captured by early 20th‑century collectors, which became the foundation of all modern Przewalski"s horses.Desktop Version

Horsetail Fall in Yosemite National Park, California, United States
Today we celebrate the birthday of Ansel Adams, an American photographer whose vision helped shape the world"s perception of Yosemite National Park, which lies just across the border in California. Yosemite is renowned for its granite walls, dramatic waterfalls and striking light, all of which have inspired generations of artists. One of its most intriguing sights is the Firefall, a term that refers to two distinct events in the park"s history. For decades, visitors gathered at Glacier Point to watch an artificial Firefall, in which embers were pushed off the cliff in a glowing stream of fire.Desktop Version

Red fox, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, United States
A red fox standing in the snowfall of Grand Teton National Park is more than a picturesque moment—it offers a glimpse into the resilience of one of North America"s most adaptable predators. This small carnivore is instantly recognisable by its sharp gaze and thick, fiery coat that helps it thrive even in Wyoming"s harsh winter conditions. Snow muffles sound, yet the animal"s extraordinary hearing allows it to detect prey moving beneath the surface. You can almost imagine it pausing amid the drifting flakes, ears rotating, body perfectly still, waiting for the faintest rustle.Desktop Version
