Miss Ghana is totally dominating the photo.

12 June 2006, most of the South Island of New Zealand receive the biggest snow dump in 40 years... a satellite manages to snap a picture

What year is that picture from, Fred?

 

[-Fred-]

Absolutely no idea.

No, the launch was delayed due to weather...obviously. If you look at the big version the shuttle is in the center of the spotlights.

Side note: It was delayed again last night due to a fuel valve issue.

It went off last night at 11:59PM. I live about 15-18 miles directly from the pad(not directly from Kennedy Space Center), and it's really a beautiful thing to watch. It's just a normal night, but when you watch that thing go up, the whole sky goes up in an orange color. It looks like the sun is rising, but 2x faster, brighter(if theres some clouds). 👍

Here's a video(not the one that launched last night). I live about 2 miles from where this was shot. The weather was perfect on this video.


This one looked a lot more like the one last night.. But, IMO, last night's launch is probably the best I've seen. I've seen only about 10, though.

Woah...Miss Venezuela (second from the top right) is a dude for sure

Didn't Miss Venezuela win?

 

[Omnis]

Yes, she did. And she certainly doesn't look like a man. The most butch looking one is the shorty (well, relatively speaking) on the top row. Can't make out what her sash says.

Anyway, I'd be straight with Paraguay.

edit: Is that pic from this year? The current paraguay looks a lot uglier than the pictured one. Also, the winner of this current one is only 18. WTF is that. Trump is a sicko.

👍, Well after Sweden ,then maybe Croatia. Well just about all Eastern Europe is tied, for me atleast

 

[Studentdriver]

I've seen that picture months ago, at least, so it's not from this year.

Taken from some type of flying machine actually. WTC Jobsite is to the left in the picture with the white cranes.

Ahh, gotcha. I have a similar picture shot by me, though it's a bit more in the afternoon and taken from the actual WTC. I think I scanned it recently, so I'll see if I can put it up soon.

 

[PeterJB]

Yeah, whatever took that photo was hovering over the water at the time.

 

[bin0]

Wow, Those factories are amazing, How do they even move on that thing?!

 

[homeforsummer]

Stairs, walkways, the usual.

 

[Diego440]

teleporters too... hey, it is Japan!

Well, there's miss Finland 2006, so..

 

[UnoMOTO]

Borrowed from another forum I visit. Going vertical can be very interesting.

I'm fairly certain a few of those don't meet code.

Some cool Stairways there 👍

Here's another one:

 

[FoolKiller]

And to historical architecturally significant staircases:

The Old Kentucky State Capitol Building's staircase has no supports.


Click for a big image.

Here's a quote from an article about the building.

The same marble is used on the curving staircase, which is an architectural marvel in that it is self-supporting, with the weight dependent on a 1,000-pound keystone at the top of the staircase.

In that case...

 

[livemusic]

That's lame, not cool or amazing.

 

[Diego440]

yeah... being the one who's always reprimanding anyone for posting a pic 'not up to standards', it's pretty lame that you'd decide to post that.

I've already reported your post.
