Sebring, 1965.

Hurricane?

Hurricane?

In Florida, April showers bring May showers.

And that is why I don't kill insects in the house, I don't want Mother Nature to whoop my butt.

I do my banking right down the street.

That took me a while to notice but wow really cool contrast.

Yes that makes perfect sense.

Yes that makes perfect sense.

Isn't that how it works?

Crystals:

And:
"Each year, this park is flooded with a crystal clear snowmelt"

 

[DG_Silva]

Where the hell is that?

 

[Daniel]

Austria, I think.

 

[SRV2LOW4ME]

Wow, that's quite the flood. Anyone have a name or more info?

 

[Apok]

That is lake Grüner See in Austria apparently.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Looks like a giant fish tank.

 

[djinline]

I would love to go swimming in there, looks beautiful!

 

[Danny]

Another one to chalk up to Damn nature, you scary.

Minty's flooded park pictures are no longer showing and either is yours, Danny.

 

[Daniel]

Stealing bandwidth. Ooh, so cool.

EDIT: Now you fixed it and this post now makes me look like a knob.

I'm glad whoever made that picture put a caption on it. Would never have guessed what it was

 

[axletramp]

If only I'd read it. I've been telling everyone it's a giant sperm trying to impregnate a hand gun.

Also, look how much force does it have - the man in the picture can't hold his arm still (palm and wrist not straight); he's definitely using force to hold it!

 

[axletramp]

OK, perhaps more cool than amazing... but next time you think you're being cool, remember, there's a picture out there somewhere of Han Solo reading a feature on Didier Pironi driving a Ferrari because Luke Skywalker is just too dull to listen to.

""A little over 30 years ago, a teenager named Jadav “Molai” Payeng began burying seeds along a barren sandbar near his birthplace in northern India’s Assam region to grow a refuge for wildlife. Not long after, he decided to dedicate his life to this endeavor, so he moved to the site where he could work full-time creating a lush new forest ecosystem. Incredibly, the spot today hosts a sprawling 1,360 acre of jungle that Payeng planted single-handedly."

Final Destination: Russian Version
A Volvo ran on a piece of carcass sticking out of the road surface!

The driver was really lucky to have his ass unharmed! And it was a big luck that no one was on the back seat...
Volvos are safe and they'll protect you in case of front or side collision... but Swedes have no idea of how dangerous Russian roads can be!

There was a case in WRC when a piece of rebar pierced the floorpan, the co-pilot's racing seat and in driver's words "went right up his asshole". IIRC there was no nasty penetration as you would imagine but it broke co-pilot's pelvis.
