There are some superb shots there

Some really good photos there and some disturbing ones.

The dates on #40 Page one are quite freaky for us, the first date is my birthday and the 2nd date is Taks.

Page 2 number 20 is bizarre!

#21 on the second page is really disturbing to me. All those people standing around taking photographs, desperately trying to fill our insatiable desire to experience everything going on in the world. Not one of them is helping the injured guy. It's a great testament to the society as a whole that we can afford to fund the photographers but not the aid needed to try to solve the problem, or help deal with its aftermath.

Cool

That is one heck of a shot, and one very brave surfer there.

Waves like that may be becoming more often, I saw a report earlier today saying that measurements show waves are growing in size, something that is baffling scientists as they can't figure out a reason for it. Surfers will no doubt be rejoicing, but I guess that suggests now is not the time to get that beachfront property

A very good mix of photos

There's this too:

Which means a bit to me as my Dad worked one the cameras for Hubble

I love some of the shots that hubble produces. Strangely though, whenever I see one I start singing the Universe Song by Monty Python to myself... Every time..
