The amazing and cool photo thread

I live a 10 minute walk away from this abandoned navy training base:

Epic paintball site!

 

[PeterJB]

Never thought of that before! Last I time I went there I got chased out by a police car!

^^ What an awesome shot, truly epic. 👍

 

[Wiegert]

Must have been lucky to get a shot right there and then of mother nature at her most tempestuous.

Is there a bigger version of this to fit widescreen monitors?

 

[axletramp]

It's from here, so I don't think there is.

Wow, that looks like coils of razorwire! Pretty cool.

A century before Cloverfield, no less.

Moon meets star

​

 

[Alex.]

What's with that dot right behind the moon?

Nibiru?

 

[axletramp]

Nibiru?

Or escaping Nazi aliens. 💡

 

[PeterJB]

That star is Venus.

 

[Neal]

That star is Venus.

God damn it NASA, you've made me look like an idiot. Title was moon meets morning star although it does say it's Venus in the description, serves me right for not reading it...or knowing the morning star is Venus.

 

[axletramp]

Not aliens then?

The "Sea Serpent" is way too cool.

 

[Neal]

Not aliens then?

Yup, everyone knows all the Martians moved to Venus when NASA launched Curiosity although now they’re called Venetians, it’s amazing they made it there as they don’t see too well...because they’re blind...I’ll get my coat

 

[axletramp]

I heard it was because there wasn't much of an atmosphere... *gets coat, hails cab*

I genuinely wish sea monsters and other mythical sea creatures existed. 💡

I genuinely wish sea monsters and other mythical sea creatures existed. 💡

They do, or the creatures that inspired those myths do. But many of them live in the deepest parts of the ocean, where humans rarely go. For example, we now know that there is a squid large enough to actually fight sperm whales. The thing about the ocean is that it is vastly huge and the atmosphere is dangerous to humans. Mythological sea creatures were the best understanding of what early sailors saw. A Giant tentacle with a club-like end and serrated, chitin-lined suction cups reaches up and grabs a part of a ship, or a man, and leaves behind circular, bleeding wounds. No one sees the rest of the squid. The sailors tell of the sea serpent attack.
