Rep for you as I found the travel section on that site really good;
Very Bored - Great place to be when you are bored - Travel


It also inspired me to look up Yann Arthus Bertrand the amazing French photographer.

If you read this go to YANN ARTHUS-BERTRAND.ORG

Then click English (French if you feel inclined)
At the top click Photographs
Then The Earth From Above

Select a contient and click away, the stories behind each picture are facinating.

Here is a random one I picked from South America

Actually I think this one is a better example :)

For a long time Kuwait depended upon imports from Iraq for its supply of drinking water, but today it has several seawater desalination plants that produce 75 percent of the country’s water supply. These plants use the instant thermal distillation technique (also known as the “flash” system). After treatment, water unfit for consumption is rejected into the sea, where it mixes with the waters of the Persian Gulf, creating the shape of a tentacled monster. Thanks to 12,500 desalination plants in 120 countries, the earth’s oceans furnish almost 3,700 million gallons (14 million m3) of freshwater—less than 1 percent of the freshwater consumed in the world.

Desalination plants require enormous amounts of energy and are expensive to operate and thus are available only to states that have considerable resources, particularly petroleum, such as those in the Arabian Peninsula. This area produces half of the world’s desalinated water.

At at time when the need for freshwater is a concern in a growing number of countries, Europeans use 150 to 250 liters of water per person each day (a single toilet flush uses 6 liters). Less than 1 percent of this water, treated to make it potable, is actually drunk.

Wish there was one with a bird with massive knockers. Now that would be good to see wobbling about.

I was thinking of a similar thing, but with an added :eek6: value to it.

The ultimate 3d "in your face" balls action to shock anyone to submission :flame:
