Beach?

Perhaps it's been too long of a day.

Or a dried up river bed, if you have ever seen/read Sahara you know what I am thinking about.

I think Russia has a sea or something somewhere that's drying up fast enough to put a ship in the middle of a desert. The Aral Sea.

Mystery solved : Nambia's Skeleton Coast

Details on that ship in the picture

Stuck hard and fast in the sand for nearly a century at Conception Bay,some considerable distance from the wild oceans that first stranded it there, was what remained of the corroded hulk of the freighter "Eduard Bohlen". The ships' crew lost thier way in the infamous dense fog so characteristic of this area,like so many mariners before them.Their final voyage ended tragically here as it ran aground in 1909.This used to be the original shoreline,but over the years the sand has migrated nearly half a kilometre westward out to sea, trapping it in the desert to rust slowly away into the sands.

I'd be willing to say that's a photoshop, or an emergency. I've been to that parking lot and planes land much farther back and away from the lot.

It's kind of creepy seeing them all lined up like that.

Since you can't see the web too well it almost looks like the spider is kug foo fighting with the gecko and just delivered a hit

Ok these aren't photos but....

... they are pretty amazing. I think the US population needs to fire up the printers.

 

[Joey D]

I think we should print the internet.

I'll take care of the Weekly Babe Contest thread.

My only issue with those stats is that I don't know if it takes into account the amount of redundancy to be found, as we all know 99% of blog posts are just repeats of other blogs.
