Blue eyes, as well as green and hazel eyes, appear a certain color because of a principle known as Rayleigh Scattering, which is the reason the sky appears blue, even though it isn't actually that color. Lighter eye colors, like blue eyes, are largely affected by the colors and light around them. Torrent: Mickey Niebieskie Oko Mickey Blue Eyes (1999) 1080i HDTV.h264-HcI Lektor PL.

'Blue Eyes' is a song performed by Elton John with music and lyrics written by Elton John and Gary Osborne. It was released in 1982, both as a single and on the album Jump Up!. It hit No. 8 in the UK; in the US, it spent three weeks at No. 10 on the Cash Box chart, went to No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100, and spent two weeks at No. 1 on the AC chart.[1]
Music video[edit]
The video for the song was filmed in Australia, on Sydney's famous Bondi to Bronte walk.
The exact location is at the most easterly point of Marks Park, Tamarama, where a low, sandstone turret rests on the top of the cliffs and overlooks the Tasman Sea. The white grand piano was positioned right in the middle of the turret. The song and video was in dedication to Elizabeth Taylor.
Technical details[edit]
Harmonically, the song is complex, with the verses in the key of B flat, and the chorus in the key of D minor. An instrumental solo, in the related flat major key of E flat, serves as a bridge and outro.

There are only a few, crucial weeks left to the national election when the chief of staff at the Justice Department disappears without a trace. As her replacement, Elin Hammar, tries to find out what happened she is thrown into a conspiracy of lies, falsified documents and hidden agendas.
At the same time the extreme right wing party, Trygghetspartiet, is heading towards their best election ever. In the small town of Ludvika, Annika Nilsson, the party s local representative is preparing a public speech, in spite of her son´s protest.
