Gorgeous Coast Road of California
What a remarkable drive that would be I’m sure you would be
really wanted to reach that place. This must be one awesome drive actually
start in the Redwoods at Legget California, come out on the coast and continue
on down California. Indeed is it good-looking but only when you see from far. When
you there in the middle road you need to be cautious because there was scary
riverbank.

Indoor Tulips
You just need to fill a glass container
about 1/3 of the way with glass marbles or decorative rocks. Clear glass
will enable you to watch the roots develop and set the tulip
bulb on top of the marbles or stones; pointed end UP. Add a few more
marbles or rocks so that the tulip bulb is surrounded but not covered and pour fresh water into the container. The
water shouldn't touch the bulb, but it should be very close, so that the
roots will grow in.

Alberto Garcia’s Photo Named among Greatest Shot of All Time
The picture actually captured
when a driver of a pick-up truck desperately tries to overrun a cloud of ash
spewing from the volcanic eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in 1991. This picture has
been selected as one of 38 emotion packed pictures of all time by an American
online publication. The article titled “32 Heart-Stopping Moments You Can Only
Experience Thanks To A Camera”

It was the latest accolade for
photographer Alberto Garcia, who recalls the photo. I am happy and grateful,
because at least over 22 years, they still remember how I captured the eruption
of Mt. Pinatubo. Even though the eruption happened those several years ago, and
I feels like it happened yesterday, and his capture of the occasion is still
vivid in his mind. When I took the photograph, my heart didn’t stop, it beat so
fast and my body was even shaking. During the massive eruption, I was about 20
to 30 KM away from the mouth of the volcano, and abruptly was being pursued by
tons of hot ash. So everyone jumped into our vehicles and I was trying to put
on my gas masked when I saw a blue pick-up ahead of that beautiful wall of
gray.
I opened the door and tried
shooting the picture with my 50mm lens but it was too tight, so I decided to
change the lens and used the 24mm instead and made sure my setting was correct
and shot eight frames. When I took the pictures, I was praying hard that I got
the right shot; I knew very well, that we might die and before I die, I was
hunted to tell a story using my camera. He said; they finally outran the hot
ash, and though I had only eight shots, I rewound the whole roll of film,
keeping it safe in my pocket. He spent several days documenting the aftermath
of the major eruption before going back to Manila, then he called a friend to
process the film.
I went straightforward to the
airport international cargo and transported the negatives to Time Magazine
office in New York. In the following week, the Mt. Pinatubo picture ran in a
two-page Time Magazine spread. Time, Newsweek, and Asia-week all included the photo
in the 1991 great images of the year. In 1992, the image won first place in the
nature and environment category in the World Press Photo competition held in
Amsterdam. Till date Garcia is the only Filipino photographer to have won the
World Press photo competition. Whereas; in year 2001 the National Geographic
Magazine published a book called “100 Best Pictures, which included Garcia’s
Mt. Pinatubo photograph.Source: Charismatic Planet
