Tornado Alley.

Tornadoes are one of nature's greatest disasters, yet there are people who would want to see it up close for real !!!

Read On.. an extract from http://www.grindtv.com/outdoor/blog/20696/tornado+alley+spawns+new+breed+of+thrill-seeking+tourist/

Which of the following locations does not qualify as a typical vacation destination?:
A) Hawaii, B) Europe, C) the Caribbean, or D) Tornado Alley?

The answer, of course, is "D." But not so fast. An increasing number of people are spending their vacations in Tornado Alley, in the Midwestern United States, to witness up-close one of nature's most powerful and dramatic weather events. Researchers with the University of Missouri label them "Tornado Tourists" and recently profiled them as part of a study that entailed interviews with this unique breed of vacationers and their guides, who charge up to $5,000, besides food and motel costs, for van or SUV tours that can last two weeks. "With the help of movies like 'Twister,' storm-chasing has become an international phenomenon," Carla Barbieri, one of the researchers, said in reference to the 1996 disaster movie, starring Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton. Barbieri partnered with colleague Sonja Wilhelm Stanis in the study, which found that Tornado Tourists are attracted by the risk associated with being delivered so close in proximity to potentially deadly and unpredictable tornadoes, but also the raw, natural beauty of severe weather events. The guides, who have developed a seasonal industry that lasts through the spring and into summer, are generally meteorologists or veteran storm chasers, who operate between three and 10 tours a season. Nearly two dozen tour operators cover an area from mid-Texas northward into Kansas, Minnesota and Canada.

During the 2009 study period, more than half of their clients were from the U.S., but nearly a third came from Europe; 13% were from Canada and 11% were from Australia. (The 2010 storm-chasing season recently concluded.)

Most of these tourists were male, middle-aged
and single, earned higher-than-average incomes, and did not have children. By and large, they were satisfied with their experiences, even though only one-third actually got to witness a tornado.

Half of the clients saw a funnel cloud nearly all of them reported seeing a significant atmospheric event, which might include lightening and hail. "Although tornado tourism is a small niche market, the market continues to grow with help from television shows and movies," Wilhelm Stanis said.

"Storm-chasing tours continue to develop as part of the Midwest's tourism scene, with tours filling up as much as a year in advance." The researchers did not mention whether any of the Tornado Tourists have injured or killed by tornadoes. Mike Meadows, a professional photographer who for the past five seasons has accompanied experts in pursuit of tornado-producing storms, said in an interview that he has witnessed the growth of the tornado tourism industry first-hand, and added that not all storm chasers are part of organized tours. During a recent pursuit of a severe storm in southern Kansas, Meadows and his group were chasing the disturbance at 65 mph on a rain-soaked road. "We counted 77 chasers that passed us going at least 90 mph," Meadows said. The photographer added that the storm stalled, as his group had anticipated, and it was the group that saw what the overly-eager chasers had missed by driving to fast: the spawning of two tornadoes.

Village With No Roads In Holland.

Village With No Roads??

How can it be possible?

Well, it is possible in a village in Holland.

The village is called Giethoorn in the province of Overijssel in Netherlands.

This village does not have any roads; only rivers.

All transportation is done by boats along the river.The boats are called ' Whisper Boats ' are are electric powered.

The boats are driven by electric engines which are fed with 2 big batteries, which allows for 7 hours continuous drive through the area.

It enables an undisturbed and comfortable way of sightseeing, either enjoying the coziness of the village or experiencing the peace of the surrounding nature.

Here are some pictures of the village from the internet.

Enjoy!

Okay,
That's all for now!

Ducks @ Oriental Village, Langkawi.

Here are some pictures of of Ducks @ Oriental Village, Langkawi. Once you throw some bread crumbs at them they will come follow wherever you go for it. Double click to enlarge.

The view of the lake.

Ducks.

This picture looks like a postcard doesn't it? :D

And this photo is portraying what happens when you try to feed them; they must be very desperate for food until they stepped on the fishes. ( click to enlarge ) Pity the fishes.

They even went out of the lake and onto the walking pavement for food. The duck on the left ( I don't know what species of it ) went chasing & pushing away other ducks to get food.

Well, looks like it's " the battle of the fittest " for them.

Okay!
That's all for now!
