It's Earth Day today

Google is GOD in today's world as I believe. Nowadays, we can't imagine life without NO GOOGLE, can we? I wonder how people even survived before Google came up. Thanks Larry and Sergey (Larry Page and Sergey Brin are founders of the incredible search engine Google Inc.) for this wonderful invention. To tell you more about Google, this unimaginable invention was founded just as recently as 1998, while the work behind this had begun two years ago(1996) before it formally came to be known as Google. Initially, it was named "Backrub" by the esteemed people I mentioned above, who were Stanford University graduates, and Backrub used links to determine the importance of individual webpages. Later, as history has it, Google has grown by leaps and bounds since then. (What do you think, how did I get this information ;) ?)

Are you thinking I'm going haywire from the title I've given to this post. Nah! I'm not. Actually, I gotta know that its Earth Day from our very own Google. :) And I didn't search for it, it was just there, already on the image displayed above the search tab of Google. And if you too have seen it today, you might have observed the animated image has been done so creatively, with a beautiful and very simple design which in itself represents the "Earth Day" plus the "Google" logo. 

I wish to describe how the animated image really looks. 

A blue horizon and a white cloud moving. As I can see, the first thing that draws one's attention is different looking trees, with some various shades and hues of green(approx 6 shades mostly). Then, there are two cute looking pandas playing behind the woods :). There is a waterfall, which almost gives a real feeling of the water flowing from above a mountain cliff and forming a small pond below. Two penguins can also be seen, among which one jumps in the pond from a snow-covered mountain. A bird sitting on a tree, and then flying high in the sky. And on another tree is a monkey, which climbs up and down as if running on errands. And there's a frog, which jumps into the water. A fish which swims up the stream, is eaten by a bear which is hiding behind the woods ( you see, a natural ecological phenomenon is also displayed). Then, how can I forget, I could see something yellow near one of the trees, and bingo!, it was the king of the jungle, a Lion! Then, there's a butterfly which adds up to the beauty of the scenery. 

By the way, all the actions which I described above, for instance the penguin jumping in the pond or the monkey's actions all happen when you move the cursor on them. Can you imagine, how much effort must have gone behind making this and how many more creative juices must have flown in the process. I think I haven't missed on any of the things from the image. If I have, probably you will let me know by clicking on the link Earth Day and observing it keenly. :) 

Well, since it's Earth Day today, how about a brief information about that too? 

Earth day was first held on April 22, 1970. It's a day which is intended to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's natural environment. It means today is the 41st Earth Day. But, I suppose, there should be much more awareness brought about this day in the world. Also, I hope every other day is Earth day, so that people may refrain from cutting trees, find ways to reduce all kinds of pollution, protect animals against exploitation and so on, which can further help keeping the ecological balance and save the world from environmental crisis. 

Request : SAVE TREES. SAVE EARTH

Hey, by the way it's also Good Friday today. So here's wishing you all a very Good and fun-filled Friday. 

-Cheers!
