Photo Of The Day

I've done all the small jumps at the blue lagoon as well. That photo doesn't quite do justice to how big it actually is.

Getting ideas from this Glover?

Something similar was posted a little while ago. Some hauntingly lovely images in there.

Busted, although this thread was founded based on cribbing images from existing online collections

This is just awesome:

I hadn't heard about this before.

Anyway, I'm fascinated by things like this:

One of my favourite 'abandoned' places is the old Felsenburg Neurathen in the Elbsandsteingebirge.

It's basically impossible to photograph and you have to experience it for yourself. The bridge in the picture leads across to the 'ruins' of the former castle on the rocky outcropping to the left--the castle was largely built of wood and only indentations in the rocks are left.

The views from there must be stunning. (I've never been there.)

Flying back into base last season in Antarctica near the Ellsworth Mountains. Great memories.

Yours? Awesome. What were you doing?

It's possible to see this station. If you take the 6 train to the final stop at Brooklyn Bridge and ignore the announcement telling all passengers to get off, after 5 minutes it rolls forward and travels through this station to reach the opposite platform back at Brooklyn Bridge station.

I did this last year when I was in NY and although it was a little scary at first to be trapped on a subway train alone it was magical experience to see the station up close and in such a secret, isolated way. The architecture is superb too, miles apart from the rest of the subway. Some more pictures here if anyone is interested:

I worked as a doc out there for a couple of months. I've been pretty lucky in working some amazing places but this was by far and away the most amazing place I have ever been too. Remote, untouched and absolutely stunning. This picture is looking back over the Ellsworth Mountains up onto the Western Ice Shelf towards the South Pole from about 80 degrees South, so 1000km from the Pole. I climbed a couple of those peaks and skied a couple of the faces. Hope to go back some day.....

Christ of the Abyss (Italian: "Il Cristo degli Abissi") is a submerged bronze statue of Jesus, of which the original is located in the Mediterranean Sea off San Fruttuoso between Camogli and Portofino on the Italian Riviera. It was placed in the water on 22 August 1954 at approximately 17 metres depth, and stands c. 2.5 metres tall. Various other casts of the statue are located in other places worldwide, both underwater and in churches and museums. - See more at: http://www.thestupidstation.com/home/image/344/0/The-30-Most-Beautiful-Abandoned-Places-in-theAwesome#sthash.V3jeSc4G.dpuf
