Miscellaneous web sites


These miscellaneous web sites run the gamut from the ridiculous to the suplime.

Expensive pet things can be found at this site. Thanks to Bev at Funny the World for the link to read about "Poop Freeze" and the other such products.

Natural Wonders added to UN Heritage List is a National Geographic site with photos of a new set of Natural Wonders as designed by the UN.

Life on a Small Island is a delightful blog written by a woman who is one of only 70+ inhabitants of a tiny island in the Orkneys of Scotland. She's written about a wonderful prehistoric side called Tomb of the Eagles. We loved the sites we visited in The Orkneys (Skara Brae, the Ring of Brodgar, Mae's Howe, etc.), but I guess we'll have to go back sometime to see The Tomb of the Eagles.

Today's photo is one of ours from Skara Brae. These ruins have been dated to pre-pyramids, and what's been uncovered was probably built on top of a previous village. It's mind-boggling!
