FISHERMAN WITH OCTOPUSES, SOURCE DÔARGENT, LA DIGUE ISLAND, SEYCHELLES
Fisherman with a spear returning home with a load of octopus. During full moon the octopuses are coming up to the shallow reef and the fisherman are able to spear them. Octopus is a favorite dish for the locals. The granitic islands of the Seychelles - the granite rocks - are of volcanic origin. Looking over 750 million years out of the sea they are one of the eldest landmasses of our world. Wind-, rain- and water-erosion has shaped these rocks into unique sculptures. An open museum telling the history of your planet.
Huge granite rock-formations, innumerable deserted, unspoilt beaches and sheltered bays are the typical of the landscape and are the trade-mark Unique Rock-Formations are the landmark of the Seychelles. However, they are but a small part of the unique natural attractions which the islands can offer the visitors.
The Island of La Digue has a large population due to its fertile soil. Anse Cocos, Grande Anse and Source d'Argent are the most beautiful and spectacular beaches on the Seychelles.
"Pointe Source d'Argent", or Silver Spring Point, is the name given by the inhabitants of La Digue to this bit of coast. It is said that a fabulous pirate treasure lies buried here, still to be discovered. The huge blocks of granite make up the most impressive rock-formation in the archipelago. They also provided the backdrop for Roman Polansky's film "Pirates."

Ivanpah officials dispute the source of the so-called streamers, saying at least some of the puffs of smoke mark insects and bits of airborne trash being ignited by the solar rays.Federal wildlife officials said Ivanpah might act as a mega-trap for wildlife, with the bright light of the plant attracting insects, which in turn attract insect-eating birds that fly to their death in the intensely focused light rays.Google is one of 3 partners to invest millions in the 2.2 billion dollar BrightSource Energy plant, its largest solar energy plant in the World built at Ivanpah Dry Lake, California.More than 300,000 mirrors, each the size of a garage door, reflect solar rays onto three boiler towers each looming up to 40 stories high. The water inside is heated to produce steam, which turns turbines that generate enough electricity for 140,000 homes. Ivanpah Dry Lake, California October 9,2014 (FOTO: DUKAS/PHOTOSHOT)

Ivanpah officials dispute the source of the so-called streamers, saying at least some of the puffs of smoke mark insects and bits of airborne trash being ignited by the solar rays.Federal wildlife officials said Ivanpah might act as a mega-trap for wildlife, with the bright light of the plant attracting insects, which in turn attract insect-eating birds that fly to their death in the intensely focused light rays.Google is one of 3 partners to invest millions in the 2.2 billion dollar BrightSource Energy plant, its largest solar energy plant in the World built at Ivanpah Dry Lake, California.More than 300,000 mirrors, each the size of a garage door, reflect solar rays onto three boiler towers each looming up to 40 stories high.
