Picnic On the Bridge - Sydney Harbour
Sydney Harbour Bridge was turned into a picnic en masse yesterday as thousands flocked to the world famous landmark to share breakfast. On most mornings, the bridge is packed with the vehicles of thousands of busy commuters driving bumper to bumper trying to make it to work in the rush-hour traffic. But this morning it was closed to traffic and instead transformed into a huge gathering for an al fresco breakfast as part of a city-wide food festival. Around 6,000 people were invited to lay siege on the grassy banks in the middle of the highway.

The aerial view of the bridge a scene like never before with freshly laid grass, grazing cows and hundreds of families enjoying a picnic breakfast. The forecast rain was thankfully held off and people turned out to enjoy croissants, sausages, bacon eggs and coffee - with a stunning view across the water to the Opera House. Many who were not among the lucky ticket-holders drawn from a ballot of 190,000 people to take part in the unique gathering still turned up at each end of the bridge.

They gaze at the spectacle of cows grazing on 10,000 square yards of turfed grass that had been laid over the tarmac. 'It's the most extraordinary sight,' said Rhonda Williams, 21, a backpacker from Bath, Somerset. 'I've been taking pictures all around Sydney in the past couple of weeks and like everyone else I've taken dozens of photos of the bridge.

It was such a historic event that local man Sid Elias used the occasion to propose to his girlfriend.
And they have agreed that if the 'Breakfast on the Bridge' became an annual event they'll return each time. The cows had been transported in from an outlying agricultural college and seemed unperturbed by their lofty surroundings over the harbour as they tucked into the grass and hay.
To add to the occasion, musicians strolled among the families - who included one couple who brought their four-week-old baby along - playing accordions and trumpets, while a honky-tonk piano player bashed out happy melodies. New South Wales government officials estimated the cost of laying on the unique event cost around £400,000 - but agreed it was worth it.

The state's premier, Mr Nathan Rees, said Breakfast on the Bridge was likely to become an annual event. 'It's worth a great deal in tourism dollars,' he said.'Everyone's been having a ball.'
Strolling across the grass, commuter Don Fuchs said: 'It's amazing to see the bridge in this perspective. 'Usually you sit in the car, you cross the bridge and that's it.' The breakfast was part of the Crave festival, one month of food, art, comedy and outdoor fun, which runs until next Saturday.

Witch Well
Not a lot of people believe in witches. It is understandable, because it is difficult to understand things that we can not explain. There is a great myth in Estonia about witches. And maybe it is not only a myth… We have a proof for you.And so the story begins…
Tuhala’s Witch’s Well starts to boil 100 litres per second only when the current intensity of the water in Tuhala river is at least 5000 litres per second.
It is possible to see that happen from one day up to 3 weeks 
The well is 2.4 meters deep and it’s water is a bit brownish 
Folk myth says – Witch’s Well starts to boil when Tuhala’s witches are whisking one selves in the well.
Tuhala, which was founded 3000 years ago, is located in northern Estonia in Harjumaa. Tuhala’s landscape reserve is mainly known for its “ebullient” Witch’s Well, which is considered to be one of the most unique natural phenomenon in Europe.

Mariah Carey at Narita Airport in Japan
Mariha Continuing her promotional tour, Mariah Carey was spotted arriving in Tokyo, Japan earlier today (October 15) to find hundreds of fans waiting for her.
The “Touch My Body” songstress looked very shape motion as she strolled through Narita International Airport, stopping to take pictures with fans and sign autographs before hopping into a limousine.
During a recent interview, Ms. Carey told press that she can’t wait to have a family, though she will also be sure to make time for her singing career when she’s a mom.
“I will definitely take time off. I really have to make time to raise a family because I don’t believe in doing that half-heartedly. At the same time, I still want to make music when I want to.”
