Bits of plastic nestled in my pubic thatch.

Beautiful.

I can never see enough photos of swarms (?) of starlings. They look awesome.

I believe it's a murmuration of starlings.

I've always liked susurration of starlings, the word itself means to whisper, but i've always felt it fitted perfectly.

Truly beautiful

I believe it's a murmuration of starlings.

I believe it's *myriads of *starlings.

Nice picture, Olli !

This photograph is one of the most remarkable sent in to the picture desk today. Dated August 6th 2003, it shows a LURD (Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy) rebel observing a ceasefire by a bullet riddled house and car in Monrovia, Liberia and has been filed to mark ten years of peace in the country.

I love this picture, I've been meaning to post it here for ages.

“If you have ever been to Japan, you know how big vending machines are there – shiny, blinking boxes, sucking tons of energy and ready to serve your cold and hot drinks, are everywhere.

In coastal areas of Fukushima prefecture, wrecked by the 2011 tsunami, that ‘everywhere’ gets a totally different meaning. From a field near Minamisoma, probably a good half-mile from the sea, one of these shiny red boxes sprouted. I knew about it, I’d already seen pictures of that Coca Cola box, brought inland by a powerful wave, so I drove inside the exclusion zone around the crippled nuclear plant to check it out for myself. I had plenty of time to walk around the red machine that appeared to scream from a depressing emptiness, to choose the angle and the lens, but every picture I took was equally, absurdly beautiful.

Just as beautiful was the whole area – beaches alongside a blue ocean, green hills and fertile rice fields. Only some other strange fruits grow here – cars on top of a building, a piano in a river, a vending machine in a field.”

One of the 2013 Reuters best photos of the year:

Honestly I'd prefer the top of the box further above or below the horizon, but it's certainly arresting, and a reminder that disasters last much longer than a news feed.

Being totally sanctimonious, it reminds me of photos of the Hajj pilgrimage (?). Very arresting

Look like something out of Fallout.

There's always one joker in the crowd.

^ He's alive!

I did post this already; didn't I...

..I was wondering whether any of you know where I could find a bigger resulution version of this image?
Would not need to be massive, but maybe twice as big as this?

The largest online (according to google image match) is 540x672: http://biezdielnik.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/dd8760c50c29ab49cafeca4cf6b97ce64120a981_m.jpg. It looks like it's the same resolution as yours but just made larger..

If you have Chrome as your browser, you can install an extension that allows you to right click on any image and search with it. When you do that, you can select "all sizes" and it will find any that match and rank by size.

^ what's the name of the extension?

Search by image

Yea I did this (manually), thanks for the input though Soul.
