That light switch is all well and good until you have three light switches in one room.

Huge plane picture is huge.

I really like the Poland picture. Actually mistaken it for a real painting - or is it?

Sometimes when you load a page here you see an image load in full size before it shrinks down to fit the window, at least on my end.

Oh and speaking of planes

Have another carrier pic: EA-6B Prowlers assigned to the "Vikings" of (VAQ-129) sit chained to the flight deck aboard the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74), Photographer's Mate 2nd Class Mark J. Rebilas

And The 'real life Atlantis': Eerie new photographs capture first look at Villa Epceun - the Argentinian town that spent 25 years underwater - as flood finally recedes

And Phantom Ship Island, Crater Lake National Park, Oregon

Amazing flood pics. But did they really need to build the levee in the shape of a penis?

You gotta build bypasses penis-shaped dykes.

What he said. ^^

It still has to load the original image, then it shrinks it down.

Seek medical help.

I did. He told me not to get it that wet again.

That's an understatement.

Thought this was pretty amazing. The Bay Bridge in San Francisco being struck by lightning.

Not the best quality photos but I thought it was amazing. The sheer amount of people that came today for the funeral of one of our local police officer's killed last week was incredible.

Also, every city bus today has this on their displays today. #72 was her badge number.

 

[Ken]

That's pretty touching.

 

[Fazerfan]

How did he die?

 

[SRV2LOW4ME]

She. And she drove into a bus during a snow storm from what I can gather.

You got me cleaning my screen for good 25 seconds.

She. And she drove into a bus during a snow storm from what I can gather.

They're still trying to figure out what happened. The weather was fine that night. It happened a block from my house and I was outside about 20 minutes prior to it happening. She lost control of the cruiser on a curve while responding to a call and collided with a bus in the oncoming lane that just happened to be there at the worst possible time. Tragic, she was only 26 years old too. One of my closest friends knew her personally and she's been taking it pretty hard.

^Those are seriously cool. I miss the Shuttle program already :'(

Related: Russian villagers collecting scrap from a crashed spacecraft.

Not related: Seattle fog

Definitely not related: A-10C refueling over Afghanistan. I found the backdrop particularly cool.

 

[Carlos]

Photo of the Russian villagers is amazing.

And I got myself a new wallpaper
