Awesome Pictures Thread

[Brennik]

Slightly too large, so gonna slap it in spoilers:

[Hawkbit]

Wait... where did you find that?  Is that recent?  If so, thread over.

[Lakov_Sanite]

I don't get it?

[HaemishM]

I don't get it?

This.

[Draegan]

I guess it's some obscure band from their childhood.

[Cyrrex]

I not only don't get it, but feel slightly stupider for even reading half of it.  We need a thread for all the failed Funny and Awesome pictures.  We could call it the Fuckstupid Pictures thread.  Pictures of snakes would go there, too.

[Samwise]

I would support this, but I think it needs a clear process for establishing a mandate of fuckstupidity.  Like a certain number of votes/posts.

[HaemishM]

Survival of the dumbest?

What is this all of a sudden, a democracy?  Just put me in charge of deciding, it can't possibly go wrong.  Though a lot of genuinely funny stuff may get placed there due to my completely missing the point on something.  But still!

I dunno either... but

So i guess someone is a fan and thinks its awesome. It is a great flier, but too many words to advertise.

[Hawkbit]

You know the scene in 28 Days Later when the protagonist wakes up in the middle of London and finds it dead empty.... the accompanying music is Godspeed You! Black Emperor.  The rest of the movie's music is very similar but it's all ripoffs from other artists. 

Extremely experimental music by mostly Canadians. 

Likely the wrong thread for the pic, but thanks for the info regardless.  I was getting no hits on it this morning. 

[Brennik]

Ok, guess I should've followed up on that one with the link posted by 0110. Yes, it's actually awesome just because GYBE is touring again, I thought more people would've recognized them. I also think it makes for a good flyer just because it's so long.

[K9]

I listened to GYBE years ago but couldn't get my head around it at the time. Post-rock was always a tough genre to wade through to find the awesome in.

I wholly endorse a 'Thread of Ultimate Suck'.

[SOURCE] - Kayaking Lake Huron

[Mrbloodworth]

Now I want to go there.

[Ironwood]

Ditto.  That's real pretty.  It'll suck when nature finishes the job though.

[Chimpy]

With the rate at which the water levels in the great lakes have been receding over the last 30 years, that island may be entirely surrounded by dry land soon. :(

[Lantyssa]

I've been to the Thumb before.  Twice.  You don't want to go there.  Enjoy the picture.  You've just seen the high point, by far, of any trip.

The thought of seeing what lies under Lake Ontario is disturbing.

[Mrbloodworth]

Care to elaborate? I looked at all the shots, that place is beautiful, and to be honest I didn't think we had water that clear in the US anymore, heh. It feels like you are saying that place sucks.

[Slayerik]

Well, I live about an hour and a half away and will be going to check this out this summer. I'll let ya know if I agree. I would say, though, there probably isn't much else to see in that area.

Would probably be better off on the north part of the lower peninsula (or west for dunes) or the U.P. if you are looking for good nature/parks.

My dad is from Big Bay De Noc area, the Garden Peninsula, and it is amazing up there. Maybe I can find a pic or two....

This.  You've seen it all.

If you're going kayaking it may be enjoyable for a few days, but then I would think you have tons of options on good spots.  The lakes are cold.  I'm not sure if the water is always that clear there, it wasn't in Harbor Beach the two times I visited, which isn't that far from Port Austin.  (Though it could be due to geography.)  It's all small towns.  There's little else to do there.

If you have a friend there or live kind of close, it might not be a bad weekend.  If you're coming from out of state, there's no point.

[Grimwell]

In other words, Lantyssa does not like nature and remote places. 

[tgr]

It's all small towns.  There's little else to do there.

Sounds to me like you're saying "there are very few pitiful humans to annoy you in the immediate vicinity", which sounds awesome.

[Nebu]

I've been to nearly every water-covered area that lies on the border of the US and Canada.  Having said that, the only people that tend to vacation in those places (the UP of Michigan, Lake Huron, etc.) either grew up there, near there, or are too financially strapped to go elsewhere.

The guy in pink is kinda cute.

[Prospero]

Horsestail Waterfall in Yosemite.

[Cyrrex]

Woah...wtf is that?

[Engels]

Slayerik peeing down the side after another one of his amorous adventures?

[Prospero]

If you're asking about the waterfall, apparently there are two weeks during the year where the sun sets in just the right way so that the water is lit but the rock is not.

Some details and more pics

[Mrbloodworth]

Its the gate to mordor!

[Slayerik]

I really need to get that checked out...... ;)

[Musashi]

It looks like a long exposure.  I don't think the natural color is quite so intense.
