The 76-metre long ship, which boasts a crew of of 163 people, including 81 cadets from the Colombian Naval Academy, precariously posed on its masts to wave farewell to the city. But not only did the brave shipmates need a head for heights and their strongest sea-legs, but they also had to put on a show. The huge vessel made sure it gave London a rousing send off, by unfurling its massive flag and the 81 cadets singing the ship’s anthem. During its time in the capital the magnificent ship attracted over 7,000 visitors.

The history of the sailing ship ARC Gloria began in 1966, when the Colombian Government ordered that a three-masted barque work as a training ship of the Colombian Navy. The ship was commissioned on 7 September 1968, with the vessel moored at the wharf of Deusto Channel.

Wildlife Paper Art By Calvin Nicholls

There is nothing simple or ordinary about his amazing paper art. Where we would simply use a piece of paper and a pair of scissors, Calvin uses everything you could possibly think of to carve, cut and rip perfect details onto his creations.

These details are amazing, and I can't even fathom the time it must have taken to create these masterpieces of art.
