Θερμοπίδακας – Geyser
Με μια πρώτη μάτια ο θερμοπίδακας – Geyser που βλέπετε, μοιάζει με ψεύτικος ή με τοπίο από άλλο πλανήτη… Το σπάνιο αυτό θαύμα της φύσης ονομάζεται Fly Geyser και βρίσκεται περίπου 32χλμ βόρεια του Gerlach, στο Washoe County της Nevada.

HOPE
Soccer players from Haiti’s Zaryen team (in blue) and the national amputee team fight for the ball during a friendly match at the national stadium in Port-au-Prince January 10, 2011. Sprinting on their crutches at breakneck speed, the young soccer players who lost legs in Haiti’s earthquake last year project a symbol of hope and resilience in a land where so much is broken.

The winning picture of the World Press Photo of the Year shows Bibi Aisha, an 18-year-old woman from Oruzgan province in Afghanistan, who fled back to her family home from her husband’s house, complaining of violent treatment. The Taliban arrived one night, demanding Bibi be handed over to face justice.
After a Taliban commander pronounced his verdict, Bibi’s brother-in-law held her down and her husband sliced off her ears and then cut off her nose. Bibi was abandoned, but later rescued by aid workers and the American military. After time in a women’s refuge in Kabul, she was taken to America, where she received counseling and reconstructive surgery. Bibi Aisha now lives in the US.
