Seek higher ground. Let not your thoughts be bound by the confines of four walls. Listen for the music of your soul playing in syncopation with your heartbeat. Up here, the horizon is infinite. Up here, there are no limits. (Taken with Instagram at Finlayson Summit)

Pretty in red. When you first walked into the shop, you played it cool, pretended not to notice. Then you went back. For a pick. A string. A capo. But really, it was to admire the curves of the body, the lines of the neck. You’re hopelessly taken. So, what’s your next move? What’s it gonna be? (Taken with Instagram)

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”

- Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in 1975 (via sveavaflav)

Shark devours another shark whole (Photo)

Shark devours another shark whole (Photo) :

National Geographic has released this soon-to-be classic photograph of one shark eating another shark whole.

The photo comes from Daniela Ceccarelli, of Australia’s Research Council Center of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies. Ceccarelli was working with fellow researcher David Williamson on conducting a “fish census” off Great Keppel Island, part of the country’s Great Barrier Reef. That’s when Ceccarelli thought she spotted a brown-banded bamboo shark hanging out near the ocean’s floor.

“The first thing that caught my eye was the almost translucent white of the bamboo shark,” Ceccarelli told National Geographic in an email. Instead, as Ceccarelli moved in for a closer look she noticed a camouflaged wobbegong shark emerging from seclusion with the same bamboo shark partially wedged inside its jaws.

“It became clear that the head of the bamboo shark was hidden in its mouth,” she said. “The bamboo shark was motionless and definitely dead.”
