Can you show us a cool photo you took recently? We wanna see what you found cool enough to take a photo of. We usually take photos of things we’re interested in or are unique enough to put into a reference folder we have for art and well we’re wondering if anyone had any good photos to share! :3

Thank you!

Also the photo on this post we put up is a train we saw in the Train museum here in Spain! We had so much fun and think this would have to be the one of the more impressive ones (tho not our favorite haha)

Edit: Hoi peeps!! We love all these photos and this post got WAY more popular than expected haha! We’re wanting to reply to everyone, but it’s gonna take some time - so we’re not ignoring you and if we accidentally miss you aaaaa we’re sorry (there’s just so much @w@)! Thank you again everyone, this has been lovely seeing all these cool af pics!! :D

    Had to try the capabilities of a zoom lens :)

    Edit: Haha, even the moon is upside down when seen from Australia... I mean of course, I just never thought of that

    I have a project at a former surface mine/quarry and saw an area where recent rain eroded away sediment surrounding the gravel but not directly under it. Each rock was supported by its own column.

    This is called pedastalling. It's also what happens when hoodoos form, just on a larger scale.

    We watch for this as an erosion indicator in environmental assessments

    Right on, thanks for naming it! I typically work with subsurface geology, so not quite as well versed in surficial stuff. I remember the basics from sed/strat and geomorphology classes in college. It's been a few years since haha

    We have amazing hoodoos here in Utah. Went to goblin valley last year (where Galexy quest was filmed with the crazy rock fighting arena, it's real). The hoodoos there are phenomenal.

    Water does really cool things. In this case, a relativity vertically falling rain will be deflected by the rocks, and the sand and other sediment around the rocks will be washed away. Here's a more zoomed out photo of the area altr

    We were hit with a nasty ice storm a few weeks ago and I found this lichen in the yard after. It's like a nature made snow globe.

    The bike, an old Chiang Jiang CJ750, belonging to a good friend of mine needed some work. It was down on power, hard to start and had some electrical gremlins. I made a new wiringharness as the old wires were pinched and grounding out all sorts of places and gave it a new starter relay, the old one were only rated for 6 volts and would stick on from time to time. The carbs got cleaned and the valves adjusted. Now it runs like a champ and starts better than most new cars.

    We aren't too versed with Motorcycles let alone any engine (best we know is electric bikes lol) but we always had a soft spot for those old Chinese bikes in movies. Sending it to our friend who's way more versed with this stuff, she'll love it!

    I generally don't take a lot of photos besides things I need to grab at the store, so he's the worlds largest pistachio in Alamogordo, NM from when my wife and I went down there to visit friends and sight see in January.

    Lots of the "worlds largest" attractions in America are made to gain tourist attention, like the worlds largest picnic basket, pistachio, etc. They're usually in areas people wouldn't normally go. This one is at PistachioLand, which is a large pistachio farm near White Sands National Park, so it's not necessarily in the middle of nowhere (but maybe a little). They do make a lot of really good pistachio based snacks. Different flavor roasted nuts, pistachio ice cream, red and green chili based foods like jerky or jams. It's definitely a tourist trap but the nuts they make are good, local and not from Wonderful Pistachios which has terrible quality control and less flavor options.

    If anyone here ever heads down to see White Sands, definitely try the garlic or green chili roasted pistachios there.

    Once USA becomes safe to visit, we have so many bucket list stuff to do there including a long train trip where we stay at some key spots for a bit to camp and enjoy plenty of sights :>

    But that's 2045. I'm not camping at 70! I'll be making my own pilgrimage to hanauma bay to remember my uncle and, by then, my mum; and probably that's it for travel at that age.

    Count yourself lucky. Southern New Mexico wines are without a doubt the worst, sweetest wines in the world. They get a little better in northern New Mexico, but still not quite good.

    It's been a while since I took a picture.

    Some context for this otherwise mundane photo:

    This is on a college campus.

    This man does not work for Grounds.

    This was his transportation to a community event.

    Top of Mailbox Peak. These birds were everywhere. I assume due to people sharing food when they hit the top.

    I was recently in New Zealand, this is a photo that shows the blue pools in the mount aspiring national Park. The water is the bluest/clearest I've ever seen.

    It wasn't my favourite place In new Zealand, nor the prettiest, but the water is so incredibly blue

    New Zealand is incredibly beautiful. I think my favourite place was on top of Fox glacier, but search up Marakopa falls, Wilson's creek chasm, Milford sound, and the church of the good Shepard to see more incredible spots

    I know this hurts so much. But if there’s any comfort in it, he got to spend his whole life with you, loved and cared for from beginning to end. You were literally the best part of his life, and he knew he was loved every single day.

    Thanks friend, and while I may mourne I know he is with the Allfather and the host of the Wild Hunt. May he punish the fool and reward the clever when the host goes to hunt.

    I also need to find the dremel to carve his burial marker.
