    Instead of a random picture thread, how about a COOL PHOTO thread?

    Only cool, good and interesting photos. I just want to see a thread where I DON'T see Obama or Hillary's face......

    First post:
    Ancient Hill Forts of Rajasthan - built by East Indian princes and kings between the 8th and 18th centuries. Pretty awesome to have your castle/fort on top of a Hill with the moat/lake up there with you.

    Is it a natural cool, or a Photoshop cool. I think the natural cool should prevail.

    I've posted this before, it contains a lot of nice pics and a good music score.

    Earth from the ISS at night:



    Even more cool... a movie (view in 720p if you can):



    Note starting at around 0:37 the bright green glow is the Aurora Australis (glowing nitrogen and oxygen ionized by the sun)!

    Also note that the thin "skin" surrounding the earth is our atmosphere... every breath every animal on earth has ever taken came from and went back into this thin little skin.

    If seeing this doesn't prove there is a God, nothing can.

    (edit to add): NO Printerman, it's not a fake.

    Do these photos have to be ones you have, personally, taken or can they be ones you found on the Net?

    Not a dam, but a split rail fence. Relic of the mid 20th century.

    Water is carried in.

    Mid-June is the opening and about November 1st is the closing.
