“And as the moon rose higher the inessential houses began to melt away until gradually I became aware of the old island here that flowered once for Dutch sailors’ eyes-a fresh, green breast of the new world. Its vanished trees, the trees that had made way for Gatsby’s house, had once pandered in whispers to the last and greatest of all human dreams; for a transitory enchanted moment man must have held his breath in the presence of this continent, compelled into an aesthetic contemplation he neither understood nor desired, face to face for the last time in history with something commensurate to his capacity for wonder.”

allcreatures: THE GREAT WHITE WHALE!

A rare white humpback whale calf breaches in Cid Harbour in the Whitsunday Islands area near Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. An extremely rare white humpback whale calf was spotted near Australia’s Great Barrier Reef in an event witnesses described as a “once in a lifetime experience”. Believed to be just a few weeks old, the baby humpback was seen by local man Wayne Fewings, who was with his family in a boat when he spotted a whale pod.

Well That’s Just Plain Unfortunate of the Day: At the University of the West England, a Balloons for Orphans event doesn’t quite go as planned (assuming, of course, they didn’t plan for it to fail in a very hilarious manner, which they may have).

Everyday Hero of the Day: NYC construction worker Gary Russo has made a habit of serenading 2nd Avenue passers-by with Frank Sinatra standards during his 30-minute lunch breaks.

Armed with a karaoke kit he brings to work every day, Russo, a Local 40 ironworker, attempts to dispel the constant construction noise, if only for a little while.

“Forget all the noise, traffic and the impact of the 2nd Ave. Subway,” reads the sign just behind him. “Enjoy the music.”

Don’t mind if I do.
