- Photo Of The Day: Smilling In The Rain
I can see a whole world on those faces. A world so far away from the one I live in, so different and so full of contrasts that I could cry. The two women were walking about selling bananas and posing for photos even though it was pouring cats and dogs...

Photo Of The Day: Tennessee Aquarium
This amazing jellyfish photo was taken by Flickr user cosmosjon at Tennessee Aquarium, one of the best aquariums in the USA. The Tennessee Aquarium is home to a richly diverse living collection of the world’s most fascinating animals, from colorful frogs, playful penguins and giant catfish to prehistoric-looking sturgeon, toothy sharks, mesmerizing jellyfish and thousands of colorful reef fish.
This species of jellyfish is called Chrysaora, a name inspired from the Greek mythology and meaning “golden sword”. Chrysaora live in the Pacific Ocean and their maroon tentacles and lacey white oral arms trail 12 to 15 feet behind, stinging and collecting a wide variety of zooplankton. But not all jellyfish in the world sting. Did you know that the Jellyfish Lake in Palau hosts millions of stingless jellyfish and you can actually go swim with them?
