Incredible sculptures of dino-straws

ARTISTS can go at any length to create something outstanding. Just like Amy Goda who used leftover rice straws and weaved around wooden frames to create huge sculptures. Amy’s current sculpture muse is dinosaurs, as she created two amazing and huge pieces of art. The sculptures can be found at Uwasekigata Park in Niigata City’s Nishikan Ward, Japan.

A baby without brain

TWO-YEAR-OLD Aaron Murray become nothing short of a miracle after he was born without a brain. When Aaron was born, doctors told his mother that there was no way he could survive as he only had the tiniest part of a brain.

Unlike other organs which could have been replaced, doctors could do nothing to replace a missing brain. Aaron was born with a rare condition known as holoprosencephaly, which means he was born with only a brain stem and not a full brain.

Despite doctors expecting him to live only a few minutes, Aaron has proved to be a real fighter and recently stunned everyone by speaking his first word ‘mummy’ at the age of two! Way to go Aaron! n

NO! Fortunately Richard Toulson did. Toulson took this picture of a bizarre fogbow while out walking with his dog near Dumfries, Scotland.

He said: “I noticed there was a heavy mist or light fog in the valley at Collochan. Upon going down into the valley I noticed a strange rainbow in the fog.

“Despite being the same shape as a rainbow it had no other colours than white. It was quite eerie. I’ve never seen one before. It’s one of the regular walking routes we do.”

Fogbows are a similar phenomenon to a rainbow. They are formed by very small size of water droplets that cause fog — smaller than 0.05 millimetres.

A small fraction of the light entering the droplets is internally reflected once and emerges to form a large circle opposite the sun.
