Micronaut's new feature story 'Exquisite Castaways' has been released by National Geographic Japan.

While the egg of a Julian Heliconian seems to be the prototype of asiatic design, the species is native to South-America.

What a beautiful day I/II

A happy Micronaut walks out of the building after an exciting day at National Geographic headquarters in Washington D.C...

I definitely love to visit bookstores these days...

during a trip to Bremen, I unexpectedly detected an article about the DP award 2009 in a local book store, at Hamburg main station, while looking out for some interesting new literature to read on the train (see at left).

Later, still in the same store, my eyes came across the french issue of National Geographic, including the article about pollen (middle and right), and both corners of my mouth tried to scratch my ears.

National Geographic: vote for a Micronaut-cover... !!


"Pomagajte uredniku pri izbiri naslovnice. Kliknite na tisto, ki vam je najbolj všeč!"

...as it turns out you just need to click on the link below and then on one of the images (if possible on the one with the geranium pistil, please ;-). If you have installed more than one browser on your computer, it's possible to vote from different browsers, e.g. Firefox, Safari, Opera, Explorer, ...

After successful voting, your cursor will change from a small white hand into a black arrow and in parallel, the current percentage count will be displayed above each image... it currently looks very promising.
