Links of the day- naturally multicoloured river and child psychology

Hi. Welcome to Weirdbeautiful

First link of the day today is this amazing set of photographs of a multi-coloured river in Colombia- the colours come from the mosses and algae growing on the river-bed and give it the local name "River of 5 colours":

(thanks to Stumbleupon.com for the link)

The second link is to this slightly more philosophical article by Pschiatry Professor, Dr Richard A. Friedman about the influence of nature and nurture in child personality development. In essence, what happens when good parents produce "bad" children-

I have no idea why, but The International Herald Tribune seems to be a real well of good scientific articles and this one is no exception.

The final link for today is this stunning set of images from the Carl Zeiss photography competition in The Telegraph newspaper
