| Posted: 02 Feb 2010 02:20 PM PST Love Valley in Cappadocia, Turkey is unusual, to say the least - it is not something that you see during the thirty seconds of those dizzyingly gorgeous TV adverts enticing you to visit the country - for some strange reason. Apparently, people take one look at this strange geology and think of something else entirely. This modestly named place seems to be made for those with a dirty mind.

| Realistic Oil Paintings by Alyssa Monks Posted: 02 Feb 2010 01:08 PM PST Look at these extraordinarily expressive oil paintings. Sometimes it's very difficult to distinguish them from photos. Alyssa Monks paints these images, paying meticulous attention to detail. The 31-year-old said, "I have always wanted to paint for as long as I can remember. I took classes at school and then went to college and University before ending up at the New York Academy of Art". The New York artist is in demand, currently showing at a prestigious exhibition at the National Academy Museum. Plans are also in the works for an exhibition at the Kunst Museum Ahlen in Germany and a museum show at the Noyes Museum in New Jersey for next summer. I certainly hope that she will expand her exhibition so that I can view more of her work in person.                                         Artist's Website.

| Posted: 02 Feb 2010 11:50 AM PST Every year, the Big Sandy Shoot draws in hundreds of shooter from all over the world, for what is known as the "largest shoot". The Big Sandy Shoot is a bi-annual event, held in the western desert of Arizona, where you can shoot your heart out for three straight days. Featuring a 1500 foot firing line, 1200 yard maximum range, over 1000 reactive targets and aerial targets, this is one shooting exhibition you don't want to miss, if you're into this stuff. Machine-guns, gatling guns, bazookas, and pretty much every other type of weapon ever invented can be found at the Big Sandy Shoot. Shooters have to fork out $230 ($200 if reserved in advance) to participate and spectators just $25. Both have to sign a release waiver stating they enter the shooting range at their own risk. The average 3.5 million rounds fired at the Big Sandy Shoot certify it as the world's biggest shooting event. I can't say that impresses me much and regarding the safety, seeing women and kids handling deadly equipment isn't very reassuring.
