Posted By Yousef

A Goggles and an underwater camera, 2 in 1. The camera comes in 2 resolutions 5.0MP and 3.1MP.

The Specs:

  • Micro SD Card.
  • Video Mode - 18-25FPS @ VGA.
  • LCD Display.
  • USB.
  • Power - 2 AAA Alkaline 1.5V Batteries.
  • Depth = 5 M - 30 M Depending on model rating.

I’ve looked into some of the samples of images taken with this Goggles and I think they look decent. Its a nice little gadget to play around with. I have no idea how much it costs.

Visit their Website for more information.

Edit:
The 5.0MP costs $99.95. This SITE is accepting pre-orders now.

Thanks Taymoor.



On Top Of Mont Salève

1 07 2008

Posted By Yousef

Mont Salève (1380m) is in france right next to the swiss borders. Its one of the nearest mountains to geneva and once you’re up there, you’ll have a panoramic view of geneva and all the cities next to it. I think I can see all the way to lausanne (I think Montreux is blocked by the Mountains near Evian).

You can go up there either by using the Telepherique (Cable car) or by car. I prefer using the car, gives a sense of adventure (I’m afraid of heights). We went there last week, by car ofcourse, my brother was in the driver’s seats, driving the manual car (which makes our heads go back and fourth with every gear shift!). The trip took less than 15 minutes. There is a little cafe on top (many cafes) which overlooks the whole thing and just a few meters away from the cafe there is this flying-edge where (crazy people, as mom would refer to them, elmeyaneen) jump off and fly with their parachutes.

This is the stadium where some of the UEFA games were held.

The giant football hovering over geneva’s skies.

Les Lindarets A.K.A. Goats Town

25 06 2008

Posted By Yousef

As promised, Goats Town! in all its glory :P Its in France, near Chamonix. approx. 30 mins away from both Chamonix and Geneve. Its in a mountain where a city called Morzine is located nearby, The obscure place in which this Goat’s town reside is called Les Lindarets.

The town is pretty small and filled with, well, Goats. They lay and walk around freely, you can buy specially packaged food and feed them (rizg lig6awa) they pose and follow you whenever they spot the plastic bag, which contains their food, in your hand. sometimes, in not so rare cases, they hassle you and pull the plastic bag out of your hand, leaving you feeling both angry and silly.

They’re all gathered around this giant salt cube, licking it and there are many other cubes lying around the place from them to suck into. From what I understood, Goats love salt and they’d do anything to have their salt fix. In Kuwait I saw them licking the cement around their cage just coz it got some salt in it. They actually made a dent in the cement from all licking!

Well, I hesitated for a bit before really going ahead and make this post, I didn’t want to show the extent to which I went to make the sky that shade of blue, or the grass that green.. not to mention the sun which I created from a scratch :P But what the heck. Here are both photos, both in HDR but with no photoshopping whatsoever. promise. :D
