The amazing and cool photo thread

[TB]

And all the pics of Haiti are essentially the same.

There's nothing really cool and amazing about the photos.
You're looking at impoverished housing during the aftermath of the earthquake.
Not knocking anyone for the photos but just not appropriate for this thread.

Sebastiao Salgado is an amazing photographer indeed.

I'd seriously recommend checking out his agency, Amazonas Images.

I have one to accompany your first, but that second one made me shiver, truly awesome.

Bridges eh? how about the most massive lift bridge in the world, quite a beauty i might say!

Where's that?

I've heard of gated communities before..... but a moat?

Well they are stationed at Langley AFB, near Norfolk Virginia which has all sorts of military stuff going on there. The picture looks like some sort of Civil War era fort. Americans, correct me if I'm wrong...

You're right, it is:



Fort Monroe, it's about 4 miles south east of Langley. They've got one of those cool bridge-tunnels near by too.

Ya, that's a crazy place to explore with Google Earth and Bing Maps' "Bird's eye" view!

Yeah, just south of there there's a huge Naval base with subs and half a dozen aircraft carriers 👍

Got to love Google Earth/Maps for this sort of thing.

Yes indeed. I use Bing maps more and more now because of that Bird's eye view... able to see greater detail and with the more 'isometric' view you can see the building's sides too instead of just the roofs!

Oh wow... choked me up a bit!

I saw the video of him on BBC last week. I was amazed how much he moved after being stuck under all the rubble for a week, his mom was the same way. Amazing what the human body can endure if it has too.

Now that's a cool picture of Haiti. The perseverance of the human spirit. Gotta love it.

Electric discharge timelapse. I remember it from one of wiki's pics of the day a while back.

 

[Milliethemutt]

I found it listed as an electric flashover. Didn't think/realise it was time lapse though.

It's a microscope image of Famine's "brain" (i.e. operating system) before the v2.7 upgrade in 2006, hence the indigo glow.
