Welcome to ...

The place where the world comes together in honesty and mirth.
Windmills Tilted, Scared Cows Butchered, Lies Skewered on the Lance of Reality ... or something to that effect.

Boxer crabs (Lybia tesselata) in Bunaken, Manado, North Sulawesi, Indonesia

These crabs live on hard coral and, to defend themselves, carry small anemones in their claws. The crabs wave stinging tentacles in the faces of predators.

This photograph by Marchione Giacomo won the best overall prize.
