...Cheetahs playing with a baby impala




  Amazing photos captured by Michel Denis-Huot, on safari in Kenya's Masai Mara
'These three brothers have been living together since they left their mother at about 18 months old', he said. 'On the morning we saw them, they seemed not to be hungry, walking quickly but stopping to play together. At one point, they met a group of impala who ran away. But one youngster was not quick enough and the brothers caught it easily. For more than 15 minutes they remained with the young antelope without doing anything other than licking it or putting their paws on the impala's head'

...Pina


 Today I've seen this movie about Pina Baush, directed by Wim Wenders. It's really a masterpiece, I guess Pina would love it. I've chosen this clip among many others for the scene the dancer goes bending down from chairs, and says, in a very touching moment, she would like to offer Pina that moment of lightness, a sensation of weightlessness. 
Highly recommended.
