yeah, I just noticed that and everyone has made a great contribution to this thread. I think mickill made a great contribution as well, especially with the Afghan refugee girl.

I always thought that was a joyfull and compelling pic of Cheyrl Teigs as well.

It's pretty amazing. If I remember right, that photo's older than I'd thought, also -- like maybe from the '50's? Some scientist studying motion or something rigged a camera and the light in a room. So: the room is dark, and there's a trigger on the gun trigger, so that when the gun was fired, the light in the room would flash so the film was exposed for a fraction of a second, so there'd be no blur. Something like that. I could be wrong. But it's a great photo.

That is fucking awesome. (y)

[alexandra]

too beautiful to be true.

[TurdBerglar]

it doesn't look real at all

[cosmo105]

it's not. the moon is never that big over the horizon. if it was, we'd all be pretty much dead by now.

http://www.stuardtclarkesrome.com/CAPUC2.JPGhttp://p.vtourist.com/1840802-Off_the_Beaten_Path-Rome.jpg

the picture in this month's national geographic is CRAZYYYYYYYY. with all those Y's. mostly because you get the explanation and the locale.

[TurdBerglar]

the necropolis in france?

[monkey]

skulls and bones of the capuchin monks, some almost 5 centuries old, adorn a crypt beneath the church of Santa Maria della Concezione, Rome, Italy.

[TurdBerglar]

there this thing in france under paris i think. looks just like that except it's a whole underground city. they ran out of room for berials so they dug up all the old ones and made an underground cript out of the remains.

[ericlee]

it's not. the moon is never that big over the horizon. if it was, we'd all be pretty much dead by now.

Darrrgh! Of course it's not real, I just posted it to break the monotony of sad pictures.

It's beautiful and although it's rendered, I found it compelling.

Damn grouchy kids.:rolleyes:
