Chalk drawings show couple’s newborn son in different fantasy lands….
Images created by Anna Eftimie, a photographer from California
Has since been asked to create similar images for other parents
Burying treasure on a desert island, diving from a boat in the sea, etc….
These imaginative chalk drawings show a couple’s baby boy ‘transported’ into different fantasy lands by his photographer parents.
Anna Eftimie, from California, began taking pictures of her son Serban when he was just five days old.
Then her husband suggested using pictures drawn on a chalkboard to make the images more ‘special’.
The couple’s first creation showed Serban wrapped in a blanket and being delivered by a stork – a reference to the myth.
They then started to create new images they have now dubbed ‘Blackboard Adventures’.
The scenes include Serban at a disco, on a treasure island,and on a hammock,




Mrs Eftimie, 33, who runs Cute Moments Photography, said she had since been asked to create similar images for other parents.
One father asked them to create an image of his daughter as the American President while another family wanted an image of their child on an African safari adventure.
Mrs Eftimie said: ‘Being a perfectionist I pay attention to very little details which is important to the final look of every image.
‘If you combine that with my husband’s creativity and passion for creating cool looking set-ups, you will get the photos that I really love working with – fresh and unique.
‘It’s a certain type of client who request these images – often with a lot of imagination and sense of humour in order to create a world around their child.
‘Most people are still looking for the classic baby photos which is great but these are definitely something unusual and good fun.
‘What I enjoy most is the parents’ reactions when they first see the finished product. One family wrote to me telling me how they were still smiling from ear to ear.’

It’s not unheard of for animals to become quite chummy with members of another species — even with those they would normally consider eating.
Abandonment, trauma, or living together on farms or zoos, all serve as factors in bringing animals together in unexpected ways.
Here’s what happens when opposites attract.

A turtle catches a ride on the back of an alligator in Panama’s Summit Zoo.

A monkey bought from an animal trader in Bangladesh spends hours hugging and cuddling this puppy.

A tiger cub and a baby monkey pal around at a zoo in China.

This black swan is feeding these carp at a wildlife park in Shenzen, China.

This dog at a Chinese zoo is acting as a wet nurse for these tiger cubs. Their real mother is too weak to produce milk

After its own kitten died, this cat started taking care of these puppies, whose mother had been hit by a car.

This brown bear cub wandered into a family’s yard in Slovenia, and has since taken to the family dog.

Onward! This mouse is catching a float on this frog in Lucknow, India.

A zoo in Thailand is trying to pair domestic animals like pigs with tigers to bring in more visitors

These cougar and tiger cubs are quite close with this German shepherd at an Australian veterinarian’s house.


Both abandoned by their owners a year ago, this monkey and cat have become playmates at a temple in Thailand. The monkey even checks the cat for lice.

A camel bends over a fence to nuzzle a miniature pig at a zoo in Russia.

A baby hippopotamus cozies up to his adopted “mother” — a 120-year-old giant tortoise living in a Kenyan sanctuary.

நாம எங்க இருக்கோம், இது மடம் மாதிரி தெரியறது!

அவர்கள் ஐந்தாறு பேர். திருமண். வைணவ கறை வேஷ்டி. எல்லோரும் ‘வந்தனம்’ சொன்னர், ஒருவரை தவிர. அவர் ‘பரப்ப்ரமமாக’ இருந்தார். வயதானவர். ‘இவருக்கு எதுவுமே ஞாபகம் இல்லை. எல்லா டாக்டரையும் பார்த்தாச்சு. இப்போ, குணசீலம், சோளிங்கர், வரதர்,.. கோவில் எல்லாம் போயிட்டு வரோம். பெரியவாதான் குணப்படுத்தணம்’. ‘விஷ்ணு சஹஸ்ர நாம பாராயண க்ரமத்திலிரிந்து ‘அச்சுதானந்த கோவிந்த நமோ சரண, பேஷஜாத் நஸ்யந்தி சகலா ரோக, சத்யம் சத்யம் வதாம்யஹம்‘ என்ற ஸ்லோகத்தை 108 முறை சொல்லச் சொன்னார். அடுத்தது அவர் சொன்னதுதான் அனைவரயும் அதிர்ச்சி அடைய வைத்தது. பயில்வான் போன்ற ஒருவரை கூப்பிட்டு, ஓங்கி ஒரு குட்டு அக்கிழவரின் தலையில் குட்டச் சொன்னார். அடுத்த நொடி அப்பெரியவர் ‘ஏன்டா ரகு, நாம எங்க இருக்கோம், இது மடம் மாதிரி தெரியறது’ என்றார். எல்லோருக்கும் கண்களில் குளம் கட்டியது. ‘பெரியவா காப்பாத்திட்டேள்’. அவர் எப்போதும் போல் ‘நான் என்ன பண்ணினேன், நீங்க திவ்ய தேசம் போயிட்டு வந்திருக்கேள். அந்த பெருமாள் தான் காப்பாத்தி இருக்கார்’ என்றார்.

Charles Champion, the top engineering man in the world’s leading aircraft manufacturing company Airbus has said that an ambitious plan to create the aircraft of the future with zero propulsion noise by three aerospace engineering students from Chennai “makes sense” and is being looked at by the company “as a key idea to develop”.
The team from SRM University Chennai consisting of Balakrishnan Solaraju Murali, Michael Thomas and Anita Mohil, is among the only five teams that has made it to the final of the “Fly Your Ideas” competition that saw 6,000 students in 618 teams from 82 countries vie for the 30,000 euro top prize.
The Indian team’s top line idea is called “Engine air cooling system for noise reduction”.
The trio have found a way to reduce propulsion noise by modifying the shape of the jet exhaust using intelligent materials (shape memory alloys).
These alloys are powered by harvested electricity generated by advanced thermoelectric materials using engine heat source.
Speaking to TOI from France, Champion who is the executive vice president (engineering) at Airbus said “noise of an airline is a real bother. Historically there has been a 75% noise reduction of airlines in the last 50 years. It has become a serious issue. Noise of aeroplanes now decide whether airlines can fly to European or British airports or not”.
“The idea by the Chennai students to use the heat from the engine of the airline as a source of energy that will generate electricity that will help change the shape of the exhaust thereby reducing noise dramatically is a brilliant idea. But it will now go through several rounds till it reaches the technology readiness level 6. This is when the company will decide to develop the idea as a product. It will take another 4 years before the concept can be implemented,” Champion said.
All airlines are now having to prove minimum environmental impact to be able to land at airports in developed countries.
“External noise is a major component of aircraft design now. Around 20 years ago, we launched the A 737 which was the quietest of its time. Now after we launched A 380 recently, A 737 sounds noisy. Lowering noise will also lower fuel consumption. We are now working on the next generation of aircraft A 320 which is quieter than A 380 with 15% lesser fuel consumption,” Champion said.
According to Champion, India is a great asset for engineering. “This competition is to get new ideas and trends from brilliant young engineers. The Indian team has a high chance to win,” Champion added.
The competition has been floated by Airbus.
The other teams to make it to the final are from Australia, Brazil, Italy and Malaysia.
Ideas floated in the competition included planes powered by body heat, luggage floating on a bed of air or even an aircraft running on liquid methane.
The final hurdle will see students present their ideas to a jury of Airbus and industry experts at Airbus’ headquarters in Toulouse on 12th June 2013. The winning team will receive the 30,000 euro prize with the runners up bagging 15,000 euros.
The winners will be announced at an exclusive ceremony at UNESCO’s headquarters in Paris on 14th June 2013.
Aerospace engineers from across the world had to create the aircraft of the future covering one of six themes identified by Airbus as key 21st century challenges for a greener aviation industry.
These included addressing energy, efficiency, affordable and traffic growth, passenger experience and community friendliness.
