Learning About Tachycardia A Common Heart Disease

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008 at 5:37 pm

Out of all the human organs the heart would have to one of the most important as if it were to stop functioning the rest of the body would die. One particular hear condition is called Tachycardia which in essence is a fast heart rate. I found this interesting tachycardia video which gives a detailed description of the condition.

Knowing how important your heart is it’s amazing that more people do not maintain a healthy lifestyle. It isn’t all that hard as all we need do is exercise regularly, eat healthy, refrain from smoking, and not eat or drink to an excessive amount! Let’s face it, the longer you guys live the longer you get to enjoy this fantastic blog. Looking forward to seeing you again. :bye_tb:

Symmetrical Water Drops On A Leaf

I took this photo on one of those rare occasions that we received a bit of rainfall. As South Australia is the driest state in the driest inhabited continent and Adelaide is the driest city in Australia I usually take advantage of moments like this and rush out as soon as the rain stops to see what photographic opportunities I would come across.

I found this leafy plant and found the symmetrical drops on the leaf very interesting.

This truly beautiful Catholic Cathedral stands on the corner of Wakefield Street, to the east of Victoria Square. It wasn’t completed until 140 years after the laying of the foundation stone, and at the time of this photo was undergoing some upgrading.

One of the few churches that has its very own home page complete with worship details, history and news letter etc.

When visiting Kangaroo Island, just off the coast of South Australia, I highly recommend going to the Flinders Chase National Park to see one of the Island’s most popular icons, the Remarkable Rocks!

One can see, after viewing these rocks, that Mother Nature is the most supreme artists ever. She may take her time but her work is truly breathtaking.

The sculptured granite boulders at Remarkable rocks offers many opportunities for the avid photographer.

If you plan on visiting Kangaroo Island I suggest you put at least three days aside in order to appreciate it properly.

As essential as water is to man’s existence many fail to see the inherent beauty in this natural wonder. From raging rivers or bubbling brooks to a single drop of water, it can capture the attention of the discerning viewer. There is nothing better after a long dry spell than to go outside after it has just rained. The air looks crystal clear and if the sun is shining then the hundreds of drops hanging from the bushes look as if someone has adorned them with brilliant crystals.

I have come to enjoy taking the camera out on such occasions so as to capture these moments in time. This picture of a cactus is remarkable in that it seems to relish in the water that has collected on its succulent leaves.
