Some of these look so surreal that they don't even look like photos, goddang.

Close ups of the insects and bugs look so cool, love this thread.

A car bomb explodes as a member of a Thai bomb squad checks it in Narathiwat province. The bomb, planted by suspected insurgents, only inflicted minor injuries on the squad member, who was wearing protective clothing

I got this when I pointed at a bunch of wine glasses. It looks strange, but oddly mesmerizing... ...to me, anyway.

There has been, occasionally, some debate as to what pictures are acceptable in this thread - is it amazing?, is it cool?, etc.... OK, this picture might not be 'amazing', but you, Sir, have just broken the cool-o-meter with that one... 👍

Here's my contribution for the evening... not very cool, perhaps... but it was taken by a monkey.

 

[Minty]

That's awesome.👍

Does this count?

Found: The Vancouver riot kissing couple

Meet Scott Jones and his girlfriend, Alex Thomas. As the story goes, Alex had been knocked to the ground by the riot police. The situation was far from romantic. Alex recalls being, 'completely freaked out.' To calm her down, Scott ran to Alex's aid and covered Alex to protect her. Then, in the heat of the moment, he kissed her. AP photographer Richard Lam snapped two photos of the couple as he was being ushered away by the police... and the rest is history.

Just wanna say: AAAWWWW!

The Mount Teide volcano itself does not have the strictly pyramidal shape that its geometric shadow might suggest. The triangle shadow phenomena is not unique to the Mt. Teide, though, and is commonly seen from the tops of other large mountains and volcanoes. A key reason for the strange dark shape is that the observer is looking down the long corridor of a sunset (or sunrise) shadow that extends to the horizon. Even if the huge volcano was a perfect cube and the resulting shadow was a long rectangular box, that box would appear to taper off at its top as its shadow extended far into the distance, just as parallel train tracks do. The above spectacular image shows Pico Viejo crater in the foreground, located on Tenerife in the Canary Islands of Spain. The nearly full moon is seen nearby shortly after its total lunar eclipse last month.

Looks familiar!
