Highway to Hell event remembering Bon Scott

Some of the action from the event to remember the works of Bon Scott and AC-DC, held in Perth, Western Australia. There was 10 kilometres of highway closed to create one huge stage to drive along eight trucks with a band on each playing AC-DC songs, to the audience stretched along the length of the highway through suburbs from Perth to Fremantle where Bon Scott had lived, and where he is buried.

Cats and Dogs playing

They have a long standing reputation for fighting each other, but that is not always the case, as is shown in these photos of playing and enjoying each other’s company.

Care should be taken with their play, to ensure that they are safe around each other. This is especially the case with size differences when the larger one may forget the possible implications on the smaller one.

Running games can be very enjoyable for both.

Growing up together can be beneficial for both, as they learn to understand the behaviour of the other.

Good fun for all.

Penguins Cool

Penguins are extremely hardy creatures, as they thrive in the coldest environment on Earth with some species, such as the Emperor Penguin, living year round on the ice.

Climate change provides huge threats for many Penguin species, as it impacts many aspects of our World, such as when there is large reduction in ice fields. We can be thankful that many groups and people provide images of these creatures and their environment, which helps to gauge any changes that occur.

Some of these are on their belly, ready to push off with their feet to slide along, instead of their slower walking speed.

Fairy Penguins can be found in many locations such as southern Australia, especially at breeding time as shown with this pair in front of a burrow that is typically used.
