Learn to shot tag.
what exactly are you talking about, both images are in shot tags, and have been since posted.
I never knew about this until literally 15 minutes ago. I can't find any info on the thing(no wiki page or anything for the arttwork as far as I can find, I just keep getting links to WoW?), but this is truly amazing.

"Oculus", 1998, World Trade Center Station.
Created by Kristin Jones and Andrew Ginzel, Oculus consists of 300 different mosaic eyes, all based upon actual human eyes taken from photographs–not computer generated.
The floor entails an elliptical glass and stone mosaic floor with a micro mosaic eye at the center of an ultramarine vortex with the image of the City of New York woven into the picture. This All-Seeing Eye, laid under the World Trade Towers, sends shockwaves around the world.
Location; Chambers Street/World Trade Center Station, directly below what is now Ground Zero.
Oculus -Architectural term:
"In archaeology, oculus is the name given to a motif found in western European prehistoric art. It consists of a pair of circular or spiral marks, often interpreted as eyes, and appears on pottery, statues and megaliths. The oculus motif may represent the watchful gaze of a god or goddess and was especially common during the Neolithic period."
I figured this was epic picture worthy, as it is on many levels, quite epic. That and the scale of the mosaic. I wish there were better images out there of this. Probably heaps of small detail.
The most exciting part though, is that, I think this thing is now buried (again, only known about it for like 20 minutes now, can't find info), which adds another level of awesomeness to this. It's become it's very own ancient artwork. People will dig it up in years to come and be like "wow, the fuck is this spooky thing doing down here".
Hey warlord I can't see your picture.

Iceland?...
St. Helens,Mt. Rushmore, 30 years since it went off today.
30 years since Earth popped another one of her zits.
Did Mt. Rushmore or the Iceland volcano make a bigger ash cloud?
Uh, Mt. Rushmore isn't a volcano.
maybe there's more than one in the world?
There isn't. St. Helens mb?Quote:

Bought a poster of this for my room. Thought it was pretty neat
You and your elephants.
I know this isn't "the best"... and I'm disappointed in how blurry it is... but I thought it was neat.

A pile of rubble? Or I don't see it...
Oh god I love purple.
I went in this old destroyed house, and I just liked the way the light coming from the hole in the ceiling was cast across the debris.
You can't deny that elephants with stilt-legs carrying obelisks (possibly on mars) is pretty freaking coolQuote:

Where'd you get the poster?
This picture makes those fuckers 10x scarier.
What if you woke up in a feild surrounded by those?
I wish it was bigger :(

That image makes them creepy as shit, but in OOT/MM ReDeads and Gibdos scared me far more than Dead Hand. Shit, when I walked in the doors to fight them and saw the hands coming out of the grounds I was just like "nickel says this is a boss room... *gets grabbed* ...ayup."Quote:

This astonishingly unnerving photograph was posted today on the Flickr.com feed of the Guatemalan goverment and shows a seemingly bottomless sinkhole that opened up on Sunday in Guatemala City as a swath of Central America was drenched by tropical storm Agatha. Click here for the high-resolution version, if you dare. The storm only briefly hit tropical storm strength on Saturday as it came ashore from the Pacific Ocean over the weekend, but the death toll had risen to 115 at last count. Here’s a street-level view.
Now that's a hole.
What's at the bottom?
Besides road debris, bodies, and water of course...

Persians probably.
Actually I believe nobody was over the intersection when it happened. The death toll is from the storm.Quote:

Don't you mean 'The Lovely Bones'? That Peter Jackson film? That movie FREAKED me out.
My uncle looks almost exactly like the guy in the green house. My parents say I look like my uncle. :ohdear:

Thats from a Burst pipeline, not exactly a natural occurring phenomena
And it was Americans that stopped the entire intersection from caving. :realsmug:
Welp, wikipedia says they occur worldwide so vOvQuote:

I need one like you don't even know.
My mate has one of those at his house, its about 2 meters by 1.5 meters. I think his dad said that they're quite common over there.
:(
that's so sad
This makes me really sad :saddowns:

I thought I was watching the new CoD game when they were showing off Medal of Honor at E3 :\
I think modern combat games are quickly catching up to the dogma of WW2 games.
There's too damn many of them....or there will be soon enough.
There already is more of the Modern Shooters than there is the WW2 based... =/
Then there you go.
The guys trying to profit over them, however, haven't got the message.
I thought I was watching BF:BC2. Of course, they use the same engine, but they could have differentiated them a bit more. According to a dev, they reused a ton of BC2 assets.Quote:

That's just atrocious....
Light it up!
Seeing that saddens me so much. How can people be so stupid as to let that happen? Humanity sucks...though we already knew that.
There's just nothing quite like fireflies. This got me in the mood for summer. Not fantastic pictures, but I love them.
I miss seeing those things. :(
o_O, never seen fire flies.
Get video of them next time~
never seen any either, I wish we had them here
yeah, they're not my pictures.
but there's something insanely soothing about them. just as you're drifting to sleep, you look out the window, and all you see is the night sky alive with little specs of light. mmmmmm.
Someone with a worthwhile camera go out to a field of fireflies and set your camera up with a long shutter time or whatever. It'd be awesome.

I took that last night... no post processing or anything... just crazy fucking sky.
ya skys are have awesome evening colors this time of year
Last night there was really high mph winds and such, apparently trees were being knocked over all over the place.... and the picture doesn't really show how BRIGHT the sky was.... like... that picture was taken at 8:36 PM, we were in my living room watching a movie and the entire first floor of my house was pretty much just glowing orange from the windows.
It was nuuttssss
It was green here past 8 a few weeks ago. weird shit
I don't know if it's a good thing or bad thing that NY doesn't get those weird color skies.
But I hear the sunset is wonderful if you're at the shore facing it.
That looks a lot like gamer fuel. Delicious sugar water.

Now remember that that prominence is many times the size of the earth.
The image of the solar flare has me mesmerized...any moment now Volvagia will come flying out.... I've been playing too much Zelda over the holidays.
I'm not as memorized as you are, but the fact that its size is bigger than the Earth...Quote:
