It's a jumping spider with a water droplet on it's head.


Like a little hat.

Ahhw!

Here's the photographer's tumblr so you can have some more 'private' moments. Most of these shots were taken from his back garden.

Whoa.

Reminds me to buy a Sun filter for the scope.

Great shot.

 

[Danny]

No, that came a few seconds later.

 

[Dennisch]

I think he shish kebabbed him.

 

[Pupik]

No, that came a few seconds later.

We ask where the real food was hiding, first. Nothing goes down until an empty stomach is liberated.

 

[GregTheStig]

No, that came a few seconds later.

And that fallout cloud from Nagasaki is incredible/terrifying. I saw the plane that dropped that sucker in person and it's crazy to think that one plane and that one bomb caused all that destruction.


Photo from some brush fire A.K.A. the end of time.

"Landing boats loaded with U.S. soldiers speed through the mine-infested waters of Wonsan Harbor toward the North Korean east coast city. About 50,000 U.S. soldiers and Marines hit the beach to bolster Allied forces driving toward the Manchurian border, Oct. 26, 1950."

Meanwhile, in Russia... Soviet paratroopers clinging to the wing of a TB-3 bomber sometime in the late 1930's. I guess this was just standard operating procedure for them.

 

[Jedi2016]

I guess that was before they figured out they could ride on the inside.

Well, sometimes you have to wing it!

 

[Grayfox]

Love that pic of the mosque.

A bird(think it is a Brown Gerygone) admiring a R34 GT-R V-spec, i didn't even notice the bird until i posted the picture on the What have you seen today car topic, It was a fluke that it happened.

Airbus A380 cockpit

 

[Encyclopedia]

Yay! Buttons!

 

[Carlos]

Wheres the cup holder in those things?

 

[Madertus]

They come as an option.

 

[Carlos]

They rock an airBUS, got to have cup holders!

 

[Yukon]

The cockpits for Airplaines never fail to impress me. So, many, buttons.

 

[Jay]

They do have cup holders, better ones than you will find in most cars as aircrafts tend to move around a fair bit on various axis.

 

[BobK]

So, pilots have to be left-handed on that thing? And co-pilots right-handed?

 

[zedextreme8177]

Well, nope

But it's the same in all Airbuses starting from the A320 series onwards. I personally prefer the yoke layout though.

And here's the polar opposite of the modern A380 cockpit
